A period of intense prayer; deep meditation; a moment of openness with nature; these may well open the door into the sanctity of your heart where you genuinely feel your freedom. Throughout history, scores of people have drunk the nectar of their heart in these and numerous other ways. Unfortunately, these tend to be rare occasions. Blessings of this kind are not enough to turn the tide of the distractions of your everyday life, which prevent you from recognising how free you are.
Waiting for a moment of bliss or settling for an occasional long, tall glass of the nectar of your heart is akin to going to church on Sundays for an hour each week. As lovely as it is to have these moments of ecstasy in your everyday living, they will never be enough to relieve the pain and suffering caused by forgetting what you truly and already are. Awakening to your true nature, your heart, is the only thing that is ever going to free you from unconsciously being distracted by the arising experiences of life.
