Roof of Hell
In this world
we walk on the roof of hell,
gazing at flowers.

Trying to reclaim scripture from the hands of the empiricists and dogmatic analyzers. Scripture is poetry, not a collection of essays.

Srimad Bhagvatam 11.2.41:
A devotee should not see anything as being separate from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. Ether, fire, air, water, earth, the sun and other luminaries, all living beings, the directions, trees and other plants, the rivers and oceans -- whatever a devotee experiences he should consider to be an expansion of Krsna.
Thus seeing everything that exists within creation as the body of the Supreme Lord, Hari, the devotee should offer his sincere respects to the entire expansion of the Lord's body.
Rabindranath Tagore:
A mind all logic
is like a knife all blade.
The hand that uses it will bleed.
