A passage from an Adi Da poem

The wonder is not whether we will be together, me with those I am loving, on some other side. The wonder is that we've met and been together, loving here, in this half-made world where love is yet to take it's hold.

The Guru is Within

I met my Guru in September 2001.   Up until then, I had been running scared; terrified of the vastness that I felt within.   I felt as if I would be swallowed up into it, never to return if I stopped running.   My Guru was the first person who ever told me that I was actually waking up and that every single person on this planet experienced that same existential fear, but I was just in touch with it.   She assured me that it was a good thing, so I trusted her and continued to let go.   During my time with her, I came to realize that I was actually creating the terror that I felt by running and holding on.    I got to see that fear was simply arising and when I allowed it without tensing or pushing it away, it dissolved.   Just like sorrow, anger and all emotions.   I came to understand that it mattered what I did with my attention.   If my attention was drawn into mind/emotions, I suffered; if I relaxed and allowed whatever was arising to simply be felt, there was freedom.   Yet, af
