Dear Madhya Nandi,
thanks for your questions and perspective. The deep unfolding of our own
nature are the things of discovery. Maybe it is like the way you write your
poems. This is not something that you could ever learn from another. You
could learn syntax or be around other poets, but the process is individual.
The quality of life that you talk about means for me relaxing enough to take
in the mystery. IMO going on a spiritual quest is always worthwhile. There
are many great teachers and great teachings. Undertaking this journey is a
way of opening to the universe. To show up and be willing in an outer
relationship is an acknowledgement of our inner relationship - our journey
to a Self that was never separate. When you are with a great teacher, the
words that are spoken are almost irrelevant. There is a kind of learning by
osmosis that happens. Once this transmission has started it can happen
anywhere or any moment. Then being in the cave or riding the subway are the
same. Then the journey has become the internal journey and the cave is the
cave of the omnipresent Being.

Namaste,
Dirk
