The Prophet Gibran, Kahlil. Ch 6 On Eating & Drinking

  Chapter 6  On Eating & Drinking   THEN an old man, a keeper of an inn, said, Speak to us of Eating and Drinking. And he said: Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light. But since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother’s milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship, And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man. When you kill a beast say to him in your heart: “By the same power that slays you, I too am slain; and I too shall be consumed. For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand. Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven.” And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart: “Your seeds shall live in my body, And the buds of your to-morrow shall blossom in my heart, And...

BLAST FROM THE PAST CXXIV (124)

Wisdom through the ages as seen  through the eyes of the most insightful minds throughout history and yet more truer than ever nowadays.

What you see it's not what it is

Reading to understand the meaning can be mind twisting and literally, requires some out of mind flexibility to get into the author's state of mind at the time and place of the thinking process. The sporadic quotes above will give anybody the sense of confusion if they're  not familiar with the author train of thought and the time and place for his insights. Without being well aware of this kind of knowledge it will seem impossible to comprehend the meaning behind the writing. The beauty of this kind of expressions; that it is possible,  by getting into the same mindset as the author's and that by familiarize oneself with their habits. That doesn't mean that understanding is an exact science, but it's kind of art by itself, you understand it the way you read it. One can only be responsible for  his own saying, not how it might be understood.

Furthermore, the idea of “everything is related to everything else” can seem a bit confusing for the untrained eyes, because of the its novelty, but with switching between focus and unfocus states it will begin to reveal its powerful significance. There is no limit of one’s understanding, because the idea itself is limitless. Simply said, that what you see it’s not what it is, it is just an illusion of the imagination ...
