Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1 from Garimo
Beloved master, what is the "dark night of the soul"? And is it out of date? Looking inside me and all around me, I only see more joy, contentment, lovingness, appreciation of life and of what is. Looking back, I see a lot of misery, heaviness, pain -- but they seem to be related to wrong upbringing and unnecessary self-torture, not to any dark night of the soul.
Yet, I seem to remember you also talking about having, yourself, gone through deep despair, related to the search for truth. So I wonder, is this relaxing more and more into the joy of being alive, with such beauty all around, with slowly growing watchfulness -- is this just fine; or are we, am I, somehow just staying on the surface and not moving into the depth of the "search"? And why am I asking?
