Honeymoon Is Over, But The Relationship Continues

A man recounts of having been at the Vedanta in June, and how he was blown away by the love and community, but this time he feels frustrated and bored. He asks, 'What's going on?' Rupert responds, that this is normal, just like when the honeymoon period is over, but the relationship continues. What he experienced in June was, in contrast to his previous experience, ecstatic. The release in the body and expansion in the mind was delightful, but experience of being is colourless. We might mistake this elation for the colourless recognition of our true nature. At some stage, a good teaching brings itself to an end. The teacher can no longer give anything of value. The teacher should be our final disappointment; nobody, nothing can make us happy.
