FULL MOON IN YOUR HEART<br><br>
The teacher, or the spiritual friend, enters your system much as medicine
is injected into your veins. According to the tradition, this is known as
planting the heart of enlightenment in your heart. It is transplanting
the full moon into your heart. Can you imagine the full moon coming
through your living room window and coming closer and suddenly entering
your heart? On the one hand, unless you are terribly resentful, usually
it is a tremendous relief: "Phew. The full moon has entered my
heart." That's great, wonderful. On the other hand, however, when
that particular full moon has entered into your heart, when it's
transplanted into your heart, you might have a little panic. "Good
heavens, what have I done? There's a moon in my heart. What am I going to
do with it? It's too shiny!" By the way, once that moon has entered
your heart, it cannot be a waning moon. It never wanes. It is always
waxing.<br><br>
