Above All We Have To Go Beyond

I Suddenly Saw That All The Time It Was Not I Who Had Been Seeking God, But God Who Had Been Seeking Me. I Had Made Myself The Centre Of My Own Existence And Had My Back Turned To God.

Stillness Within One Individual Can Affect Society Beyond Measure.

There Is A Beautiful Expression Of This In The Chandogya Upanishad: 'there Is This City Of Brahman, (that Is The Body), And In This City There Is A Shrine, And In That Shrine There Is A Small Lotus, And In That Lotus There Is A Small Space, (akasa). Now What Exists Within That Small Space, That Is To Be Sought, That Is To Be Understood.' This Is The Great Discovery Of The Upanishads, This Inner Shrine, This Guha, Or Cave Of The Heart, Where The Inner Meaning Of Life, Of All Human Existence, Is To Be Found.

God Had Brought Me To My Knees And Made Me Acknowledge My Own Nothingness, And Out Of That Knowledge I Had Been Reborn. I Was No Longer The Centre Of My Life And Therefore I Could See God In Everything.

Above All We Have To Go Beyond Words And Images And Concepts. No Imaginative Vision Or Conceptual Framework Is Adequate To The Great Reality.
