The Work of the World
“to learn the Work, to transcend the World”  c.f.

“Bakhtin warns against confusing the ‘real’ and ‘represented’ worlds; however, we mustn’t see the boundary as absolute and impermeable. The two worlds are in ‘continual mutual interaction….The work and the world represented in it enter the real world and enrich it, and the real world enters the work and its world as part of the process of its creation, as well as part of its subsequent life, in a continual renewing of the work through the creative perception of listeners and readers. Of course this process of exchange itself is itself chronotopic: it occurs first and foremost in the historically developing social world, but without ever losing contact with changing historical space. We might even speak of a special creative chronotope inside which this exchange between work and life occurs, and which constitutes the distinctive life of the work.”

Rinpungpa 
“The most beautiful and moving description of the journey [to Shambhala] appears, however, in Rigpa Dzinpai Phonya or The Knowledge-bearing Messenger, a long poem composed in the form of a letter by a sixteenth-century Tibetan prince named Rinpung Ngawang Jigdad.”
Edwin Bernbaum, The Way to Shambhala, p.182.

The recurring theme of doubling:
“Father, I have long known of a strange doubleness to my life”

Insh’allah  
is an Arabic term evoked by Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu speakers to indicate hope for an aforementioned event to occur in the future. The Turks render it "İnşallah". The phrase translates into English as "God willing" or "If it is God's will".
The term is also related to another Arabic term, Mā šāʾ Allāh (ما شاء الله), which means "God has willed it".
