Every statement gains the sheen of truth only with reference to context and situations which are capable of evaluation by the senses.. Nothing, for example is either truth on untruth for a person who is either mad or dead.. And some liberty is given to the poets and the so called visionaries.. The fact remains that no one can measure perfection.. not only perfection, but whatever is stated as absolute.. Mathematics defines a point as something without length, breadth or depth.. So who can see a point? Of course there is no point is trying to see a point. It is just an abstraction.. We talk of pooranamthaH poornamidham etc.पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं... very brilliant thought to exchange among elite.. but what is pooranam.?. we extoll many paradigms and platitudes without ever knowing what exactly we are talking about.. Of course, the ultimate should be conceived as a benchmark, an ultimate goal which we yearn to attain a destination we aspire to reach, but then we always know it is not reachable.. Yad gattwaa na nivarthante. यद गत्वा न निवर्तन्ते... going to where, we cannot ever return.. the destination without any comebacks.. brilliant words!.. defining something which cannot be defined.!. In fact the difference between a visionary and a mad man is very difficult to conceive.. And even the sanest among us have streaks of madness and even the maddest among us have streaks of genius in us..
