It Is Through Realizing Loving Presence As

True Refuge Is That Which Allows Us To Be At Home, At Peace, To Discover True Happiness. The Only Thing That Can Give Us True Refuge Is The Awareness And Love That Is Intrinsic To Who We Are. Ultimately, Its Our Own True Nature.

We, Like The Mother Of The World, Become The Compassionate Presence That Can Hold, With Tenderness, The Rising And Passing Waves Of Suffering.

Fear Of Being A Flawed Person Lay At The Root Of My Trance, And I Had Sacrificed Many Moments Over The Years In Trying To Prove My Worth. Like The Tiger Mohini, I Inhabited A Self-made Prison That Stopped Me From Living Fully.

What Would It Be Like If, Right In The Midst Of This Busyness, We Were To Consciously Take Our Hands Off The Controls? What If We Were To Intentionally Stop Our Mental Computations And Our Rushing Around And, For A Minute Or Two, Simply Pause And Notice Our Inner Experience?

When Desire For A Certain Person's Attention Becomes An "i Have To Have" Kind Of Grasping, Then Identity Gets Organized Around Needing That And It Becomes Very Solid And Sticky. That Causes Suffering Because We're Not Inhabiting The Fullness Of Who We Are, We're Fixated And Contracted On Life Being A Certain Way.
