WONDER

The skill of "wondering" starts from our natural sense of wonder and takes us to the plane of Ultimate Reality.

This chapter presupposes that you have begun to practise meditation as explained in the chapters on SILENCE and SPACE.

When we have created external and internal space by withdrawing in silence, we can train our inner eye on the mystery of the world we are part of.

Mystical meditation
leads to detached observation
and speechless wonder.
