Matters of Grave Concern
 
 
 

Our Master has forgotten his students and his affairs, walking down a fiery colonnade preoccupied with some important matter. He has no time to spare for thoughts of small consequence, such as you and me. Even the spirits of fire that swirl around him cannot disturb his single-minded concentration, and I suddenly felt ashamed, as though I were spying on him, although I came here quite by accident. I had no way of knowing that I was the important matter he was weighing, and that nothing could have been of more concern to him. I slunk away like a thief, bitter and sundered from my Self. That was long, long ago, but I still await some decision, holding my breath along with the rest of mankind. (SB)
