contemplating the sun

"If we understand that the sun is illumined by God, we can understand something about the position of God by contemplating the sun. As he is the light in the sun, so also is he the light in the moon and fire, by which food is nourished and prepared, respectively. Through these material manifestations-sun, moon, and fire-the world is made livable." - Bhagavad-Gita, Its Feeling and Philosophy, p. 475
 
Aristophanes, who did not understand and appreciate Socrates’ philosophy, wrote a play entitled “The Clouds” in which Socrates is portrayed floating in the air and contemplating the sun. When asked what why he floats in the air, he replies, "I have to suspend my brain and mingle the subtle essence of my mind with this air, which is of the like nature, in order clearly to penetrate the things of heaven. I should have discovered nothing, had I remained on the ground to consider from below the things that are above; for the earth by its force attracts the sap of the mind to itself.  It's just the same with the watercress."
 
Petre
