Aphorism - 507
507—Kalidasa says in a daring image that the snow-rocks of Kailasa are Shiva's loud world-laughters piled up in utter whiteness and pureness on the mountain- tops. It is true; and when their image falls on the heart, then the world's cares melt away like the clouds below into their real nothingness.
Human science makes very exact observations; but the field is open to imagine the true causes—why not occult causes?
