The quest for the beauty of the world no doubt must be balanced with the harsh truth—the knowledge—of its ephemeral nature. But there must be more to truth than this if it is to save us.

Knowledge does not mean to store so many false incidents and sell them to the world for some name and fame. That is to be given up. But, service—unconditional self-giving—is noble and will take you to the higher, super-conscious region.

“‘The Cloud of the Impossible’ is the experience that you simply can’t not enter, if you’re not going to settle for clichés and incoherencies, or repressed questions, in your spirituality.

Just as steady sadhana or recognizing opportunities to apply a spiritual perspective are activities worthy of cultivation, learning to take care of the temporary vehicle of our body is worth our effort as well.
