As I only occasionally ponder the truth in the universe, I was fortunate to stumble on a gem from the mystic poet Kabir..
Kabir was approached by two disciples who wanted intellectual guidance along the mystic path. The master responded:
"Path presupposes distance; if he be near no path needest thou at all. Verily it maketh me smile, to hear of a fish in water athirst!"
