Don't stop at Emptiness

"EMPTINESS IS NOT THE REVELATION OF LOVE

Yes, we must question everything and doubt the validity of our own opinions, demands, and mind activity. This leads to emptiness or freedom from the tyranny of mind based suffering and must be done. Nevertheless, this is not the revelation of the Absolute which can only be brought down by divine grace.

Once we are empty we must reset our compass straight towards the heart and pursue this grace with all the energy we can muster in the midst of our ordinary life, at the very center of “things.” Otherwise, we run the risk of becoming detached, insensitive, aloof and a partial human being."
