There are no horses, as far as I know. What is the mean of the sun? There are no sun, as far as I can tell. What is the meaning of the words of the Sages? There is no meaning, as far as I can tell.

This I said from the depths of my heart, and I said it even when I was sitting in the garden in Isfahan. I said: ‘The way to enlightenment is through thinking!’
Once, the Master looked at me and said: “Let me tell you three things: there is no other way to knowledge.” The Master’s face did not look very white: what a pleasant smile appeared on it!
He then said, “Man is an animal on earth. He is at rest and in slumber.” He was seated in such a
