SHORTER EXCERPT: The late guru Adi Da Samraj used to find it interesting that people would gaze up at the night sky, hoping to see a shooting star, as if the sky itself, just as it is, isnt already completely mysterious and beautiful. It just wasnt quite enough; people needed just a little more to be properly bewildered and awestruck! Marcel Proust wrote: The only real voyage of discovery ... consists not of seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. And William Blake: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. He could just as easily have written, were he alive today, To see a World in a Puddle of Coke.
