________________ Rising and Setting ‘O Darling Sun of the Firmament spreading thine orb of splendour! Wilt thou show me what could be the reason of people worshipping thee at morn and hermits offering evening homage to theer' ‘Ye Simpleton! Is it so difficult to understand: As I ascend the mount of Aurora every morning, so do I decline over the stretch of the twilight every evening. Moreover, the sparkling smile that I shed at the time of rising, the self-same smile do I spread at the time of setting. Rising and setting are identical to my mind! At the time of rising am I aware of the impending sunset and at the hour of decline, I carry full faith in the awaiting sunrise. ‘As I am not overflushed in rising, so am I unembarrassed in declining. To attain to this secret of my existence, sages worship me and hermits offer oblations at my feet.' 96
