about

I saw him pointing at the empty expanses of sand and scrubland across the river. „That,“ he was saying, bringing out each Sanskrit and Hindi syllable precisely, „is sunyata, the void. And this“- he pointed at the teeming conglomeration of temples and houses towards the north of the city – 'is maya, illusion. Do you know what our task is?“ The student shook his head. Rajesh continued, „Our task is to live somewhere in between.“

Pankaj Mishra,The Romantics, 1999, (Picador)
