From the point of view of "existence,” you exist as an embodiment of knowledge; and from the point of view of non-existence," you are in this world void (of the other, a characteristic) common (to all existents). You simultaneously bear both (existence and non-existence), and these forcefully destroy everything, even the flame of your (omniscient) knowledge. (i.e. When you are seen as an "embodiment of knowledge," there is non-existence of objects; but when these objects are seen as internalized in your knowledge, the knowledge loses its distinct reality and is in that sense rendered void. (24) [524)

O Lord! My hunger (to know your true nature) has been sharpened by the blazing forth of (just one among) your (manifold) aspects, and (now) increases constantly. To me, you are indeed infinite (i.e. unreachable); therefore, show favour unto me by entering my heart, endowed (as you are) with the entire range of knowables. (i.e. Allow me to know your true omniscient nature.) (25) [525] XXI
