notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Hasya.
Question 1
Beloved master, last month I was faced with a recognition that where there is light there is also a shadow side of darkness. Yet until the last few days I still clung to the illusion of some separation between them, in particular that here on the Ranch with you there was light, and outside there was darkness.
Now I'm experiencing the inseparability of light and darkness, both within myself and within the commune. Are light and darkness also inseparable within you? Is this a reality we have to face to let our love grow deeper?
Question 2
Beloved master, in the story you tell of Bodhidharma handing over his key to a disciple, this disciple cuts off his hand as a way of demonstrating his surrender, his readiness to do whatsoever the master wishes him to do.
Is there a difference between this availability to a master and being the perfect parrot as you have recently described Sheela?
