The monk and the mystic

13 th December 2024’

I met a monk and a mystic.
I asked both of them, “What is the difference between a monk and a mystic?” Both of them adopted stoic silence. Their silence conveyed to me “ Man looks through the lens of maya and creates a monk and a mystic. Both of us are one and the same, and that same one is HIM.”
Tears of ecstasy cleared the ignorance and arrogance in me, and I became both the monk and mystic.
