Later on, the evening saw a delectable meal prepared by some of our most able cooks, with a prodigious amount of delicious food available. Only with Ganesha’s blessings one could eat all that!
We all sat together as a family, had dinner and talked about Saivite scripture. It was a delightful time.

Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious.

Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
