Sublime

the guru is not about continuity but presence, the subtle moment-to-moment essence behind this reality. The Taos ashram is part of Maharaj-ji’s lila, his dance, his play in the world.

It is very personal, very ordinary, and very matter-of-fact—nothing divine or blissed out, particularly. There is some kind of complete, open space, ground that has never been messed up by plowing or by sowing seeds—complete virgin territory.

The first is a quality of peace.
