other side

[Guest guest]

" The seekers in his searching comes to a river. Across the river a

yogi is in deep contemplation. The seeker calls out to him, " Can you

help me get to the other side.? "

 

The yogi looks up from his meditation and replies, " You're on the

other side. "

 

As long as we believe that we will find something to fill our

emptines and quench our pain, explain the paradox of life and assuage

its vagaries, give us substance and meaning, we will fill our days

with the quixoitic spiritual search. This relationship to life may

have the trappings of the spiritual, but its essentially self-

centered. It is not a search for the dissolution of self or even the

integration of self, but the expression of narcissism in its most

duplicitous form.
