So read Siddartha's secret! He has taught           #2
            A certain pathway to attain the End;
            And best and simplest yet devised by man,
            Yet still so hard that every energy
            Must be devoted to its sacred law.
            Then, when Malunka turns to ask for knowledge,
            Would seek what lies beyond the Path he teaches,
            What distant horizon transcends his own,
            He bids you look in silence on the Lotus.
            For you, he means no more. For me, this meaning
            Points back and forward to that common goal
            From which all paths diverge; to which,
            All paths must tend -- Brahma, the only Truth!

            "Gautama tells me my way too is good;
            Life, Time, Space, Thought, the World, the Universe
            End where they first begin, in one sole Thought
            Of Purity in Silence."
                                                            --Henry Adams          CLICK FOR EXAMPLE # 3
