The tricky nature of ego...

"Before 'Real Seeing' is revealed, one gets many experiences on the Path.

If not rightly valued, these experiences prove very alluring and deceptive.

If one starts feeling proud about one's flight in a dream, how much pride will the experiences on the Path nourish?

One has to be very watchful of the tricky nature of the ego, which tries to maintain its separateness more and more.

"One thing is certain -- the more importance and attention you pay to such experiences, the more you get bound.

Don't run after experiences, but remain steadfast in your love for God."
