You only see me at night, and you give me your love; if you were to see me in the daytime, you would give me a sou! Victor Hugo
There is a beautiful expression of this in the Chandogya Upanishad: 'There is this City of Brahman, (that is the body), and in this city there is a shrine, and in that shrine there is a small lotus, and in that lotus there is a small space, (akasa).
