"... We spend years and years on a mat meditating, experiencing, and often we are waiting for that complete perfection, we want to abide in bliss, in Sat-Chit-Ananda, where nothing can touch us in this world. But that is an idea, it is not how it actually functions. Embracing ourselves—how we are with all our idiosyncrasies and conflicts—is part of opening up to a greater reality of who we are.
Hence, it is not enough to say that ignorance is a contracted state of consciousness and Self-realization is an expansive state of consciousness or expanded state of consciousness. It is not correct to say that. It is rather what Self-realization is about; it is realization that this expansion and contraction takes place at the level of the Spiritual Heart at all times..."
