The Divine Kiss

Aum Sairam

Perhaps you feel that having an intimate relationship with the Divine is beyond you, reserved for others or another lifetime. This is not so. It is part of our heritage; it is yours and mine to have. All we need do is learn how to let go of our fear, for fear maintains the
barriers of separation.

In many traditions, the mystical expression of our relationship with the Divine is through Eros, the flame of a burning heart. Why? Because when we awaken to the realization that the presence of the divine is revealed in the fullness of each moment, our hearts melt and the flood gates of our inner yearning open wide.

This is a mystical epiphany. It cannot be rationally explained. Although we cannot cross the barrier between us and that which lies beyond infinity, we can experience in the depths of our beings the realization that for each step we take, the Divine steps with us; each breath we draw is connected with the breath of the universe; and that lover, beloved, and the essence of love itself all are reflections of exactly the same thing. In each of these moments we "know" the presence of the Divine, and there is no separation.
