"What we call the beginning is often the end

and to make an end is to make a beginning.

The end is where we start from.

 

(T.S.Eliot)

"There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free-will,

Neither path nor achievement; this is the final truth."

Some more TS Eliot verses that speak to Self-Inquiry.

 

Ash Wednesday

 

Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood

Teach us to care and not to care

Teach us to sit still

 

The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock

 

Do I dare

Disturb the universe?

 

East Coker

 

The only wisdom we can hope to acquire

Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless.

 

Little Gidding

 

These men, and those who opposed them

And those whom they opposed

Accept the constitution of silence

And are folded in a single party.

Dear Jeff,

 

Thanks for these quotations. Eliot's 'Eastern' influences certainly

come through in them. A friend at University wrote a dissertation

discussing his Upanishadic influences in great depth. It was recently

published, in instalments, in the Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre

Magazine, "Vedanta".

 

Regards

Miles
