In fact, when we just start, we’re likely to get
into more beautiful meditative states. As we
continue, things start looking more ordinary.
There isn’t so much excitement. There aren’t
so many high and low peaks. There’s a period
of leveling out, which might feel a bit dry.
We might crave for the juices of life we used to
get at high peak times. But the point is not to
chase the fantastic experiences, but to make
the mind stable. When there’s a peace of mind,
it’s easier to accept whatever comes and
appreciate the beauty of simple life pleasures,
perceive them on a more subtle level.
If you practice and don’t get some
unbelievable profound experiences, don’t
panic. It’s not that you’re doing something
wrong. Those who tell about their incredible
spiritual adventures might be still at the very
top of the iceberg.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if
you’re a beginner or if you’re more advanced.
The final knowledge never comes through a
human effort. But the Grace can descend upon
us at any moment, regardless of the level
we’ve reached by then.
