You go to the secret valley to sit in peace and
ask the philosophical question: What is a religious mind?
You know that a mind that is inquiring into
this question of what a religious mind is must be aware of, must know the
extraordinary state of beauty.
It can only see what beauty is when there is
total abandonment of the “me,” and in that abandonment there is intensity,
there is love of wisdom; otherwise love doesn’t exist at all.
Love is not pleasure, desire, lust. It is not
merely associated with sex. Love is spaciousness. Beauty unfolds in space, and
space unfolds from the heart.
You go to the secret springs,
because a religious mind is a mind that knows that the streams of virtue and
discipline will form the river that flows to the ocean.
