IN THE SCHOOL OF ECSTASY and MEANS “All of the best things in life That we all long for… Love, joy and peace of mind, Understanding the purpose and Meaning of our lives and An ever deepening love relationship With our beloveds, with ourselves And our own sweet Lord can only Be had, seen or touched by learning how To come inside to our own Vast inner world which ultimately Is the only true reality.” —Yeshe Gyamtso I study all night in the School of ecstasy and means, Following the path illuminated by My own inner Beloved. I take the pathless path, Which winds in a spiral up the Slopes of Prayer Mountain where The Lord is ever calling me. In this timeless time, I sing My Lord’s names and glories And suddenly, in the midst of Loudly singing, the heavens open And the Lord appears, causing My ego, the source of all suffering, to Recede, just as the rising sun eliminates Even the darkness of the darkest night. Chinmayan says— The Lord I know, love and serve is inside And that is where we are dancing The night away towards the coming dawn In a feast of pure unconditional Love.

“The joy and happiness you are looking for everywhere outside yourself can never be found there and if it is, it will be temporary and fleeting, whereas the true source of all the great things you want and need can always and only be found inside of your own heart, mind and spirit—-so the wise person knows this and use his life energy to seek and find them there and then life will truly become a beautiful celebration!”
—Yeshe Gyamtso
