Picking Fruit 2
Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge
No man desires to see that light which illumines the spaceless soul until pain and sorrow and despair have driven him away from the life of ordinary humanity. First he wears out pleasure; then he wears out pain — till, at last, his eyes become incapable of tears.~ Mabel Collins, Light on the Path
He has reached the middle way, the way of balance, equanimity. He no longer sheds tears of sorrow nor tears of joy, but rests in the Kingdom he has found within.
~ Anthony
