- Diversity, Unity and Humility
Standing on the ground you will perceive trees to be of different height.
Fly aloft and they will appear to be of the same height.
Lie down and they will appear sky-high!
- Intellect and Emotion
You should approach meditation with both intellect and emotion under control.
If there is only intellect it will lead to speculation.
If there is only emotion, you will be able to sing and dance, but not meditate.
- Spiritual Experiences
It is possible to have spiritual experiences progressively. When the sky is very cloudy, we may not see the sky at all. When there is an opening, you see just a little. Through the window on a clear day, you see a little more. From the roof, you see much more. The cosmonaut sees a lot more. But no one can see the whole sky with the physical vision.
- Darkness in Light
Look at the flame of the candle - it has a secret message. It says: "There is no darkness - you have invented the word." "But" , you say, “It is dark in the next room". "Come" says the candle-flame , "Let us see". When you both enter the next room, you find you were wrong and the candle-flame was correct! There is no darkness in light.
- Roots
A root going deep can break the foundations of nearby buildings. Similarly our spiritual roots must be strengthened add made to grow deeper so that the mansion of evil might be destroyed at the foundation.
