Ecstasy

[Guest guest]

>From talk: "How to cultivate love for God" by Ashokananda

 

'Ecstasy, as all know is a condition where one transcends

one's normal self. This cautious, stupid, utterly cunning and

clever (so it thinks) "normal" self of ours, is a prison house

of the soul; the soul cannot get out of it to reach God. But

when you have ecstasy you get out of this prison house,

you get out of the senses, you get out of the limiting ideas

you have; you get out of everything that you think is normal

and you go beyond this lower self, this accustomed self of ours

which is completely insane. .....'
