I really like this understanding and and it and it feels so intuitive to me even though sometimes I
don't always understand your words and the reason why I'm asking these questions is because I want
to go deeper David I I understand that your questions are beautiful that they betray the
depth of Your Love Of Truth and I'm trying to give you um rational responses although I'm not feeling
very rational this morning but I'm trying to give you rational responses to um appeal to your very
clean clear intellect but I'm also trying to give you poetic responses to appeal to your heart
trying to approach your question from two points of view in their
hopes that the combination of these two approaches will answer your question
I think it does it I just don't know it yet can can I David don't worry just keep on doing what
you're doing this this understanding it can't be grasped with the mind and I I recognize your
mind I I have a kind of you know I've been where you are I I was like that tenacious
rational in asking every possible question but and it's good to do that keep doing that but
but this understanding it can't be it can't be grasped with the mind it has to come to us
it it emerges you know when you go into a dark room you know when you've been in in the light
and you go into a dark room to begin with you see nothing
you can't force yourself to see the objects in the room you just have to wait slowly you acclimatized
to the darkness and then the objects emerge and after five minutes you can make out the objects
it's like that we just this is the what is from the mind's point of view a dark room
incomprehensible to the mind and we just we sit in it that's what we've done this
week not just in our meetings but in our all our activities and and gradually this
what is being suggested begins to emerge in our experience but not because the mind
can grasp it the mind can only grasp something that it can conceive of
that's why it says in the bhagavad-gita what is known by the mind is unknown by
awareness and what is known by awareness is unknown by the mind
so I say that both to encourage you to keep this
three is questioning and searching that you're doing but also to encourage you to relax and
trying to encourage you to to to to consider the possibility that the understanding will gradually
come to you it'll come as a result of the question questions you're asking but it won't become won't
come as a direct answer to The Middle come from an unknown Direction he'll just begin to make sense
what the Sufi
um biasid bastami said he said what we speak of here cannot be found by seeking
but only Seekers find it
