Mysticism is not mystification. It is the cosmic, conscious, radiant intuition steeped in the love of God in the Self and in all. Mystics breathe in God-consciousness. The supernatural is to them natural. They live eternity in every breath. Their life is fragrant with divine perfume and beauty. They soar in the wider heaven of peace and bliss.

They see God in and out. The whole universe is to them an omnipresence of the All-Beautiful. They revel in the flute-voice of Sri Krishna and they become his Gopies. They see the stellar millions gemmed in the garland of psychic love. The spheres spinning in the airy void sing Aum into their ears. Their words wed with thoughts and disappear into the bliss-peace of God-embrace.
