(113) Hillman , Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj , John 4:7,14 (“urgings appear as eccentricities , there must be love in relation between the person who says ‘I am’ and the observer of the ‘I am’ , give me a drink , I am the other person, the other person is myself , water welling up to eternal life”)

There must be love in the relation between the person who says ‘I am’ and the observer of the ‘I am’… It is only when the observer (‘vyakta’) accepts the person (‘vyakti’) as a projection or manifestation of himself, and so to say, takes the self into the Self, the duality of ‘I’ and ‘this’ goes and the identity of the outer and the inner, the Supreme Reality manifests itself.

(Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)

Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink”. (John 4:7)

… a presence both perceived and not perceived, at once image and model, and hence image without model, neither image nor model, a medium (medium in the sense of middle, neither/nor, what is between extremes, and medium in the sense of element, either, matrix, means). When we have rounded a certain corner in our reading we will place ourselves on that side of the lustre where the “medium” is shining.
