TRUTH WITHOUT A VEIL IS ALWAYS UNINTERESTING
TO THE HUMAN MIND.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Above this mind-mesh there is a Universal Condition which
cannot be grasped by the human mind. Human beings can
understand it through the heart faculty but not through the
mind. Although mind was formed by the interplay of forces
from the lower and upper worlds, and in this were the
Heavens, as well as the Hells made from the earth,
nevertheless the Light of Intelligence ****ning through the
mind-mesh from above causes it to look below upon name and
form.
Even when it looks up it does not see anything beyond this
mesh which forms the sky of Malakut, the Mental Plane, even
as a fish cannot see above the surface of the water.
Personality on earth looking up only so far, the light is
turned back towards earth, forming again between the Mental
Plane and earth the Psychic Realm which is created by the
reflections and emotions of man, but is not in reality a
sphere such as the Physical Plane (Nasut), the Mental Plane
(Malakut) and the Spiritual Plane (Djabrut). In reality it
is subjective, formed by the mind turning in upon itself and
its experiences.
The veil of Isis is this same sky of Malakut, and when once
that is penetrated the Goddess is beheld in all Her Glory.
mind-mesh, Nasut, Malakut....
