    Sat means truth, being, existence, rahasya
    means mystery, mysteriousness.

    Truth is mysterious. It cannot be known, it is
    unknowable... not unknown but unknowable,
    because the unknown can be known some day,
    will be known some day, but truth can never be
    known. That's its intrinsic quality. Remove one
    veil and you find another. Remove another and
    you find still more, and it goes on ad infinitum.
    There comes no point where you can say that
    the journey is finished; there comes no point
    where you can say that the boundary has been
    achieved. It is infinite.

    The more you know, the more you know that
    knowledge is impossible. The more you know,
    the less you know. The more you know, the
    more mysterious life becomes.

    It is a mystery -- the sun behind the sun behind
    the sun.

    You get through one mystery and you simply
    stumble into another, and the other is far
    deeper than the first. But that does not mean
    that one cannot live truth; one can live, one can
    be, but one cannot know. So the real seeker is
    not searching for what truth is; he is searching
    to find how to live it. That's where faith comes in,
    trust comes in. Without knowing it you start living
    it first.

    It is almost like a woman getting pregnant: she
    does not know how the pregnancy really
    happens, she does not know how the child is
    going to grow. She knows nothing about the
    mystery but the child is growing all the time and
    the woman becomes the mother...
