Satsangh with Adyashanti

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Today i went with Robert to Satsangh in Berkeley with Adyashanti, a

most exquisite Zen teacher. What a perfect blend of humor with wisdom

he presents! It seems most teachers and gurus i have encountered who

actually have a real grasp of Truth are always filled with a superb

sense of humor. Adya is certainly one of these Humor-Beings, an

original Good-Humor Boy, or so it seems to me. What laughter filled

that hall along with some tears of happiness and just a really fine

time of fellowship with Truth. So, this past week i have visited

Ammachi and now with Adyashanti, both different yet both obviously

the same and One, just different fascinating Faces of Beauty and Love

and Wisdom. Beloved has gone along and sent this most Joyful set of

experiences to me right now. I bow to that and i am ever-grateful for

these chances to mingle this light with the light of others. So what

did i get from this time spent with these Beautiful Ones? Love and

more Love and just all i could ever hope for in Love expressed by

another. i was most fortunate to have been introduced to Annie,

Adya's wife. What a dear and sweet blossom of Love she is! She too

was a devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda since she was about seven

years old. So we had that common bond between us, and more, we both

were just filled with the Joy of Life, As it is Now. No searching, no

worshipping, no rituals as such, just the Joy of being together as

friends and Lovers of the Beloved One. i'll go back again and again

to be among these fine folks and this most superb teacher, this

Beautiful Adyashanti. And who knows, perhaps another lovely Being

will come to town and i'll have the opportunity to go and commune

with them and with This Love That We Are. i am open to all of these

experiences and exchanges of the Heart. i see nothing wrong nothing

lacking in myself for this, and certainly no fear that i am falling

into some age-old trap as has been implied by my visit to Ammachi.

Everywhere the Beloved offers us gifts and everyone we meet is a

divine opportunity to Be Love and to give and receive Love with. It's

the finest, most fun, so free a way to live and to Love and to

express This That We Are Now. i think i might just keep this

ridiculous smile plastered across my face. It is the Joy being

expressed for and because and with my Beloved Darling, Robert, Adya,

Amma, Gurudeva, Harshaji, Linda, Sandeep, Tykal, and the whole gamut

of Beloveds who have blessed my life with their Sweetness of

Presence. i do not twist in the wind wondering why i do this or if it

is some form of foolery of the self, for my heart knows otherwise, my

Heart knows that this love is what wants to Live itself each Moment

and It Unfolds ever-increasingly with such Ever-new joy it stills One

and stops all doubts and concerns for what to do, what to say, what

to be. Just Being in the midst of Love, in the heart as Ever-New Joy,

this is the thing that seems to be the case. Just Loving and never

ever fearing there is some mistake in expression in this, for Love

sits safely in the Heart and rises to all occasions as Joy and Love

and Divine Laughter. i throw my head back and laugh with utter

abandon at the silliness sometimes expressed that we are losing sight

of the Reality of All This That Is. Just let go and let God, that's

what the thing is and that's what is the simplest yardstick for

living.

 

Love,

Mazie
