When one starts loving the seeking itself, one has arrived.

So be here and enjoy!

If it feels like rain -- and it can feel like that when energy enters you -- then absorb it. Let the raindrops fall in the belly below the navel. That's the hara centre. That is the only place where energy can be contained, nowhere else. Anywhere else you will feel like freaking out because the
