There is another world


Look hard-you can see. Sparks coming back into the light too: there and there and there. So is there anything else but this eternal domain?
Look into yourself, into that unbroken light that you are, without a flaw-is there perhaps a flaw in it after all? Is n`t that flaw is a certain vague longing, which is always with you and which you are hence not aware of, just as you are not aware of the glowing harmony that you are by being part of it? A kind of homesickness, although you have never been anywhere else but here? Is not it as though even perfection is not perfect? The Light is not completely luminous and harmony is not completely harmonious?

Yes, you must know now: This world is not the only one. There is another world.

(Harry Mutisch, The Discovery of Heaven)
