However narrow the bandwidth
of its consciousness,
a creature is Being
Regarding itself.
Because every single creature is contained by What Is
Through any one creature's loving,
What Is loves.
Through any one creature's knowing,
What Is knows.
So What Is—
Being Itself—
loves,
contains love,
and knows
that it loves and contains
love.
How, then, could Krishnamurti say
that one who knows that he loves
cannot love,
Disallowing the special case of a single instance of creaturehood
that both loves
and knows that it loves?
Why indeed can loving and knowledge of one's loving
not be collocated
in a single consciousness?
This seeming impossibility is a misapprehension that can occur to any creature
which, in choicelessly perceiving the unity that is What Is,
normalizes to zero the presence
of the concomitant enclosingness of its creaturehood
Such that, to itself, it is pure consciousness
and not hosted by, and therefore inseparably bound to,
A single, particular, mortal containing instance
Of creaturehood.
