Because it is a graphic illustration of the paradigm: I LOST MY TRUE SELF." I read that sentence over and over again because it struck a chord with me. It was one of those instances where there is something that you have known all along on a very, very subconscious level and then you hear someone say it or you read it somewhere and it is a bit of a Eureka moment. That statement jogged a memory I didn't even know I had, in other words. It's true, I feel that on a very core level that is the reason for the tears and the longing. Regarding Erica's statement, I too am a sobbing, weeping wreck at the end of Devi Bhava. It's like suffering the death of a loved one. I feel as if I am being pulled away from my vital life-force. I don't think I will ever get to a point where I will gain my composure as I watch her walk out the door. But now, I will try to remember that wise sentence that Georgeson blessed us with..and I will try to realize that it is the loss of my true self for which I cry...and I am responsible for not losing that true self. Om Namah Shivayah!
