Solitude

You remind me of a man who has a deep interest in sailing, collects books on sailing, talks about moving to the coast. Thinks about what it must be like to go sailing, developing a store of philosophies and theories. Yet never knowing what it is like, afraid of the water, to set out upon that great blue ocean while filled with joy, trepidation, eagerness and love. It’s the unknown.

You come here because you are so desperately seeking to know that which is beyond all your definitions and theories. So desperately afraid to know at the same time. So afraid that you will deny that anyone can ever know.

But, you can’t deny what is deep within you, which gives greater meaning and hope to your being. And you must find it within you, in spite of all your fears. Then you will know with your own self, the nature of the truth. And in that knowledge, you will know that there is no loss of self, but a higher Knowing of Self.
