In his “Fable of Actaeon”, Bruno prayed for the destruction of his contingent being, so that the Deus Absconditus, the absconding Divinity, the Atman, the Brahman may be realised in himself.
In that Actaeon is a deer who falls in love with Goddess Diana. A jackal comes in between and Actaeon prays for his own destruction, so that he can get a glimpse of the Goddess !
Give me a death in its cruel fangs.
This is the symbolism of the story. Actaeon is the human intellect. Goddess Diana is Divine Wisdom. The jackal is the body- mind – intellect complex which prevent Self Actualisation.
LIbera nos, Domine – Liberate us O Lord ! ‘
He knew that the Ego, the body-intellect-mind complex was the big hindrance to Self Realisation !

Even now Bruno’s fame body, like all others Rishies and Kavis, knoweth no wear and tear !
