Keep searching, whatever happens to you.
Oh, Feeling Thirsty, do not abandon the quest for water.
And some day you will reach the source.
Rumi
A river running partway deep underground, flowing freely beneath the dry river
bed, is, amazingly, a real natural phenomenon, described as karst water in
geology.
Swirling, the stream disappears into the depths before our very eyes, and the
invisible underground life responds with a deep rumble…
And then, having absorbed the primordial power, the river, like a brilliant
torrent of life itself, gushes out from the abyss onto the surface, the water
reflecting and taking in the blue of the bottomless sky.
Don't we humans, when floating on the surface of our social roles in the stream
of everyday fuss, losing the fullness of being and joy of each moment —
don't we need, in much the same way, to reunite with the underground world of
our own soul, don't we need to regain an intimate connection to the source of
our inner selves?
…Then, listening to the whisper of our own heart, merging with the
essence of the primary nature, and filling with quietness, we are overwhelmed
with the desire to let the innermost song pour out…
What we speak of here is not to be found through strivings, and yet only those
in quest find it. This is the context suggested by the authors. Plunge into the
stream of feelings, rhythms, and images. Listen to yourself, become subtler and
quieter. Hear the echo in your inner self, respond to it…
Joy to those in quest!
