Vipassana Week:

Yesterday was the last day of this Summer Retreat. Filled with the mystic wine the Beloved has served us, we are drunk with Love, Truth and Bliss…

How we have been blessed with a taste of Life in its purity! When there is no thought or idea that anything should be different - when we accept that everything is as it should be;

Then Sorrow, in its acuteness, takes us deeper, letting us see the full range of what our humanness embodies, making us more humble.

Then Joy, in its lightness, shines through us. The heart learns again to sing and dance, expressing through the body, blending with it.

Then Love, in its purity, makes us flow: easy as the river, strong as the waterfall.

Then Bliss happens.

How we are blessed with the presence of the Beloved – a living proof of what is possible, of the real. No dreams. No illusions. As we come closer to ourselves, we remember his face, his voice, his joy and laughter, inside ourselves. It is an ancient memory stored in our eternal souls, and yet it is always new.

In graceful humbleness and endless gratitude we bow down - joyfully surrendering our past and ego. With a light yet courageous heart we accept the invitation of our beloved Master and Guide - to follow the path back to our own Self.

Thanks to everyone whose loving presence has made this flowering of hearts happen so beautifully. Let us bring this with us into our daily lives. Nurture it, so it may flower even more. No matter what happens on the outside, let us remember there is always that place within of Silence, Love and Bliss. Here is where our home is.
