I thank David Giler for his usual invaluable comments, and Douglas Mays, who taught me all I am ever likely to know about padparadschas.

Few are there amongst men who go to the Farther Shore; the rest of this mankind only run about on the bank. – Gautama, The Dhammapada

The third kind of suffering and pain that the soul endures in this state results from the fact that two other extremes meet here in one, namely, the Divine and the human. – San Juan de la Cruz, The Dark Night of the Soul

There must be some way out of here. – Bob Dylan, “All Along the Watchtower”
