‘Out’sight and insights

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

“Love is your nature. In the process of its expression, you often become ensnared in the object. This is when your sight is caught outside. To return to your nature, you need insight.

Pain is the first insight. It takes you away from the object and turns you towards your body and mind.

Energy is the second insight. A bolt of energy brings you back to your Self.

Divine love is the third insight. A glimpse of Divine love makes you complete and overrules all relative pleasures.

Trance is the fourth insight. An elevation of consciousness and partial awareness of physical reality around you is trance. This brings you back to your nature.

Realization of non-dual existence — that everything is made up of one and only one — is fifth insight.”

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Celebrating Silence.
