It's necessary when you follow the path of love to love those around you first. Desire tells us that we should have someone else in our life.

Nothing is distinct and separate.

As long as you exist, you are aware of the manifest universes through the senses, through feelings and through mind.

The reason one enters into lower mental states is because you don't have the power or chi flowing through you.

If you were just you, you would be happy. But of course, you don't know who or what you are. So how can you possibly be happy? That is why you have got to study Zen...or something.

Since everything is God and everything contains God, you see God in everything, everything is a step towards liberation.

If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
