"You are true, Eckhart, because if you were not there, I would not have been here."
The worshipper and the worshipped exist together; the lover and the beloved exist together. One cannot exist without the other, and this is the mystery of existence: everything exists together. This togetherness is God. God is not a person; this very togetherness of all, is God.
THE PERCEPTION GAINED IN NIRVICHARA SAMADHI TRANSCENDS ALL NORMAL PERCEPTIONS BOTH IN EXTENT AND INTENSITY.
From everywhere vastness opens, and from everywhere, the depth... Look into a flower, and there is abyss. You can fall into a flower and disappear. It has happened. It will be absurd but it is true. It is up to you to believe it or not.
It happened in China that the Emperor asked a great painter to come and do some painting in the palace. The painter came and he painted a view of Himalayas, very beautiful. Years he took, and he won't allow anybody to see unless it is complete. Then one day he told the Emperor that, "Now it is ready and you can come."
And the Emperor came with his ministers and generals and the court, and they were simply wonderstruck. They had never seen anything like that -- it was so true. The peaks were exactly real, and there was a winding path around the peaks and the path disappeared somewhere. The Emperor asked, "Where this path leads?" The painter said, "I have not traveled on it, so how I should know?" But the Emperor insisted that it was not at all a question of traveling: "You have painted it!" So the painter said, "You wait. Let me go and see." And it is said that he went and disappeared into the picture, and never came back to tell the story where it leads.
It cannot happen, that I know; but in nirvichara it happens. In a flower is the abyss. Because of your intensity, you look into the flower and there is the depth, and you can fall into a flower and disappear forever. You look at a beautiful face with nirvichara and there is abyss in beauty, and you can be forever and forever lost; you can fall into it. Everything becomes a door, everything! With your intensity of look, all the doors are open for you.
