There is an appropriate way of dealing with the various images of reality. While we draw close to a flower, we step back from the fire. The beauty of the stars is in their distance. This is so with all creation. It is not as if we shall increase our joy by bringing very near to us that which is very far away.
Real pleasure lies in letting things be wherever they are.
We cannot say that something that gives delight from afar will always confer greater comfort when brought near. We should leave it out there and enjoy it from afar. There is no meaning in an enforced familiarity 13. There is no saying that there is joy or good in knowing the past and the future. Arjuna, overmastered by love, importunately demanded, and the Lord yielded, and revealed to him the vision of His cosmic form.
