I keep pondering the truth in this paragraph:
"Your path is unique and your experiences of the Divine, of the Self and of the light and shadow, will be just as they need to be for you. Who can say why the Divine chooses to reveal herself in one form to one person and in a different form to another? What is important is that we respect and honor all different forms, religions, and spiritual traditions through which the Divine manifests. We can recognize the unity of God's Love and Presence in all of them. For me they are gifts of God's power of Self-revelation, the Holy Spirit, the divine Kundalini Shakti. She creates so many paths, bridges, techniques, insights, and perceptions in her relentless pursuit of revealing God to humanity. It's all party of her play of revealing God to God. Who wants to waste their breath arguing about whether the Divine should be called Brahman, Allah, Yahweh, the Void or Consciousness? Let's leave that to those who thrive on divisiveness. For Lovers of God all that is important is how to fully give our hearts and our hands in service of the Lord. How can we align ourselves with the wiff of the Divine to manifest love and compassion in each moment? Ask yourself how can I do that in relation to my wife, my children, my co-workers, my environment and all others?" (233)
