Verse 29
The Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form
I see all people rushing full speed into Your mouths, as moths dash to destruction in a blazing fire.
Context & Meaning
Moths rushing into flame — a second devastating image. Not reluctantly, not unknowingly, but at full speed. This is the nature of conditioned beings: rushing toward the very thing that will consume them, driven by forces they cannot see or resist. The vision reveals the tragedy and beauty of existence simultaneously: drawn toward the light that destroys.
