Detachment...

He has reached a point where contact with the Stillness is now possible,

where its glorious blessing is now available.

But he soon finds that on returning to the everyday world, as return he must, the contact swiftly vanishes.

Is there anything he can do here to reduce and delay the loss?

The real obstacle is, as always, his ego.

If he cannot remove it,

he can practise temporarily suspending it.
