Beyond speech and mind,
Into the river of ever-effulgent Light
My heart dives.
Today thousands of doors,
Closed for millennia,
Are opened wide.
- Sri Chinmoy
I was standing on the flat roof of an incredibly tall skyscraper. . .
Dazed, I turned to gaze at the shining expanse of water below.
But if I am afraid of falling, I have to jump!
There was no other way to overcome my fears.
I took a deep breath and - only hesitating for a moment - jumped head first off the edge of the roof.
As I was tumbling faster and faster towards the infinite blue beyond, my body started to dissolve into light, beginning with my limbs.
For a brief moment, I reconsidered: is this what I truly want? Somehow, I knew I would still be able to stop the process and the fall, if I really tried.
But the answer came immediately and confidently: Yes!
Closing my eyes, I surrendered myself completely.
Within a few moments, my whole body, every single cell in it, grew swiftly lighter and brighter. Until in one instant ... I exploded into light ....
I woke up with a start, breathing heavily.
A feeling of complete lightness, in all senses of the word, flooded my entire being.
My decision was made. I had taken the step.
I had choosen the spiritual life.
I had been accepted by my Master.
He had initiated me.
Through light.
In my dream.
The end. And a new beginning :)
Thank you all so very, very much! I do love and appreciate each and every single one of you. Whoever you are.
And I do hope that you were able to take something from this book.
And that we might meet again. Soon. :)
