A disciple reflects on the culmination of a long spiritual journey. Meeting the teacher in 1986 began a shared struggle, with the disciple's devotion fluctuating like waves. Now at eighty-five, life is in its overtime, marked by physical limitation. The waves have settled, leaving a single wish: to think only of God and to depart life in His arms, fulfilling life's ultimate dharma. Meditation was always difficult, but hard work was embraced as active practice. With activity now diminished, the focus turns inward, going deeper inside. The aim from the beginning was to meet and be with God.
"When we work hard, it is also a kind of meditation, a kind of active meditation."
"The aim of our life, which we actually came here for, is to meet God and to be with God."
