God Has Graced Every Tradition With Insight

This Process Of Change Since My Stroke Has Been Very Gradual. It Is Going On All The Time... It Is Partly A Physical Transformation. The Body Itself Is Undergoing Great Changes. My Problem Before Was That I Was Living Largely From The Head; And Then After The Stroke I Got Down Into The Heart.

It Is No Longer A Question Of A Christian Going About To Convert Others To The Faith, But Of Each One Being Ready To Listen To The Other And So To Grow Together In Mutual Understanding.

There Is A Beautiful Expression Of This In The Chandogya Upanishad: 'there Is This City Of Brahman, (that Is The Body), And In This City There Is A Shrine, And In That Shrine There Is A Small Lotus, And In That Lotus There Is A Small Space, (akasa). Now What Exists Within That Small Space, That Is To Be Sought, That Is To Be Understood.' This Is The Great Discovery Of The Upanishads, This Inner Shrine, This Guha, Or Cave Of The Heart, Where The Inner Meaning Of Life, Of All Human Existence, Is To Be Found.

God Has Graced Every Tradition With Insight Into The Divine Mystery, From The Most Primitive To The Most Sophisticated-each Has A Gift To Bring To The World.

This Is Criterion By Which The Church Is To Be Judged, Not By The Forms Of Its Doctrine Or Ritual, But By The Reality Of The Reality Of The Love Which It Manifests.
