The Politics of Transcendence

Transcendence does not mean going somewhere else. It means staying right here and dropping the mind, with all the conflict and duality it projects onto the world.

Transcendence does not mean becoming more abstract, but more solid - becoming a still flame of Presence that burns a hole through time.

Transcendence is so concrete, so present in fact, it draws others into the flame, burning away the conflict in their minds also.

When we practice transcending the mind and being present together, as satsang, then love is possible, because there is no ideology, no political party, no agenda but to celebrate community.
