There is absolutely no difference between life and death,
between form and emptiness, between something that is and nothingness. After you have spent a lifetime of exploring
different dimensions of your inner self, the outer world, of inner energies,
kundalini, Chi, states of consciousness, and various openings for
self-realization’s and other kinds of realizations besides that of self, all
are seen as equal. They are all
experiences or lack thereof. But still
you are there either knowing or not knowing, perceiving or not perceiving. It does not matter if you as either body or
consciousness dies or lives, it is all the same.
There is only one difference for those who have truly grasped
or been grasped by the absolute: Love!
And by this, I mean divine levels of love while in the human form,
towards the divine in another, in a human or even an animal, or other spiritual
being’s form.
Such total love for another, for their very personal selves,
for their vulnerabilities, for their kindnesses, for their caring, for their
lovingness, for their devotion, and their commitment, all of that leads to a
total love so deep, so profound, that you fall at the feet of your divine in
worship of her or him as yourself, as more than yourself. For you have found God in another, and
thereby found God in yourself. And you
are complete, God loving God, resting in him or herself, complete, profoundly
peaceful, profoundly at rest, nothing more to do, nowhere to go, for you are
side-by-side holding hands, touching hearts.
IS celibacy important?
