We don’t see what we see; we see what we remem­ber we see. And you can replace this phrase with smell, taste, hear, sense, and per­haps even think. When it comes to spir­i­tu­al­ity, it’s the same: peo­ple expect it to fol­low their pre-conceptions and clichés.

Yet, absorbed in each other’s love and lost in each other’s thoughts there is scarcely room in their hearts for thought of any­thing else. God-dess and the devo­tee become mutu­ally sub­servient to each other and sur­ren­der their free­dom to each other. The pure divine love of the devo­tee con­trols God-dess.
