To find comfort

January 23, 2002

Dear Harsha,

thank you for your personal story. If we have no comfort in love,

then we have no comfort in ourselves- in God. There is so much to

learn about this love, so much to unlearn. I guess we only surrender

after were beaten. Yet that is probably the best and right time.

Anyway that was my experience. A big ditto on all that Linda said

and what Lynette says below. Going to add you all to my list of

people to learn from. You are already on my love list!

love

eric.

Beautifully stated Harsha,

In my own experiences, with love, there has been many times, when I pushed

it aside in an attempt to "find comfort" Actually finding comfort in closing

my heart.... How can I say that? woundedness, and pain stemming from a

perceived absence of love. When kundalini began, and all the talk about

"attachments" was pushed onto me. It was so easy to say "Ok, give up love,

its an attachment.. I dont need it anyways.. It doesnt exist... Its an

unreal need... Its all mental. Decidedly deciding that needs were things to

overcome, I allowed myself to attempt to grow shut off from my needs.

Only to discover, that that in itself was an illusion {Not the growth, we

can still grow and be in pain... But the illusion of happiness without

love}... For love was all around me, and needs only become more painful when

they are not allowed to be expressed... So love expressed, needs fulfilled,

actually lightens a human being... Clarifies reality.... One's true self

comes out to play when through all the muddy muck , love is acknowledged...

your story of the woman, so lovely.... I have a clue, that perhaps at the

time she was wiser than you, and perhaps she followed her heart... And found

love. For without that, all the meditation in the world would not have given

her what she needed.

And anyone that wants to step in here and pooh this, well, go ahead, but let

me remind you..... The experience is mine, not from a book, not from a

donkey's mouth, not from some concept or perception. Just from me, my life,

my experience, my truth... And I've been happier than I have ever been when

I acknowledged love.

Love and Grace

Lynette

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

We know the world through the mind. Sri Ramana used to

say that mind is a wonderful power that arises from

the Self and makes all this visible.

the conscious mind is a manifestation of the Kundalini

Shakti, the storehouse of all impressions. Ultimately,

Mind, Kundalini, Shakti, Maya, all these mean the same

thing.

Jnana makes us aware that the rising of (Mind, Maya,

Shakti)has a Source which is complete in It Self, the

pure Sat-Chit-Ananda. The Pure Joy without a trace of

longing.

It is because of the presence of Sat-Chit-Ananda at

the core of our being, the whole world is starving for

love, love or Ananda being the root nature. In one way

or another, we seek this Ananda or Love. It powerfully

affects us as human beings.

I remember being at a retreat over 20 years ago and

talking to this woman in her 60s. She was divorced and

actively looking for a man.

I advised her to forget about men and finding love and

all that and focus on meditation and Self-Realization

and be free. I remember the pained look on her face

and she said, " But I really need to have a man in my

life."

I should have apologized to her right away for

suggesting that she forget about finding love.

I was such a fool then.

Love to all

Harsha

Hello Harsha:

Sometimes it appears that the newly 'liberated' is as self-assured as

the teen who knows it all. Just as the teen can disregard the

thoughts of others safe in his secure 'family backed-up' world the

newly enthusiastic spiritual seeker can know it all because the

beliefs have not necessarily been tested outside of whatever

structure contains the teachings. I guess many of us have been fools

in our teens and fools in our early search :-).

All knowledge and theory is meaningless until it is lived with as one

walks through this journey we call life. Accepting and rejoicing in

love is part of our journey as humans. At least in my humble

opinion.

Love,

Linda
