Bliss is a By-Product | August 5, 2014
There may be bliss with awakening,
because it is actually a by-product of awakening, but it is not
awakening itself. As long as we are chasing the byproducts of awakening,
we will miss the real thing.
- Adyashanti, "Bliss is a By-Product"
Flower of the Day: 08/05/14
“Identifying
the negative aspects of the personality is like opening up a window to
brighten a dark room. When you open it, the darkness disappears, but you
see that the room is dirty. The light comes in to illuminate your
perception, but it’s not enough to remove all of the impurities. If the
floor is very dirty, then it might have to be cleaned several times. You
keep cleaning until it is very clean. The same thing happens with the
heart.”
Sri Prem Baba
