' Thus It Is ! '...

When the mystery of it all is solved,

not merely intellectually but in experience,

not only in the person himself but in transcending it,

not only in the depth of meditation but in the world of activity;

when this answer is richly felt as Presence and God,

clearly known as Meaning and Mind, then, if he were to speak he would exclaim:

"Thus It Is!"

But this is not the beginner's glimpse:

it is the sage's settled insight.
