Kingdom of the Greater Knowledge

A light was round him wide and absolute,
A diamond purity of eternal sight;
A consciousness lay still, devoid of forms,
Free, wordless, uncoerced by sign or rule,
For ever content with only being and bliss;
A sheer existence lived in its own peace
On the single spirit’s bare and infinite ground.

Out of the sphere of Mind he had arisen,
He had left the reign of Nature’s hues and shades;
He dwelt in his self’s colourless purity.

It was a plane of undetermined spirit
That could be a zero or round sum of things,
A state in which all ceased and all began.

[Savitri: Book Two Canto 15]
