Lovers and Three Vials of My Blood


"My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears and true plain hearts do the faces rest. Where can we find two better hemispheres without sharp North, without declining West? Whatever dies was not mixed equally; if our two loves be one, or, thou and I love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die." - John Donne

Beyond Suffering/The Resurrection of the Three

"We have tried everything to get rid of suffering. We have gone everywhere to get rid of suffering. We have bought everything to get rid of it. We have ingested everything to get rid of it. Finally, when one has tried enough, there arises the possibility of spiritual maturity with the willingness to stop the futile attempt to get rid of and instead, to actually experience suffering. In that momentous instant, there is a realization of that which is beyond suffering, of that which is untouched by suffering. There is the realization of who one truly is." - Gangaji
