When you are inspired
by some great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts
break their bounds:
Your mind transcends
limitations, your consciousness
expands in every direction,
and you find yourself in a
new, great, and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties, and
talents become alive, and you
discover yourself to be a
greater person by far than
you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Patanjali (second century B.C.)
Philosopher
