The Heart IS a Lonely Hunter

The heart is a lonely hunter. Everyone happy or not has an irriversible lonliness that is cosmic and truly proof of the longing of the soul for fulfillment of a trancendent kind. The sad thing is that we mistake emotional attachments for the transcendent,so the love one has for another is a taste of cosmic love if we would just lift our attention to see it. This is not to deny earthbound human love, it is more to enlarge its nature. All of the people I have ever known were seeking this connection and their lives more or less reflected the search for cosmic love in relationships. This is why religion works for so many people. Meditation or Yoga is another way to lift your eyes to cosmic love. To still the mind and body is to approach the higher self. The higher self perceives the cosmic. That is why the heart is a lonely hunter - seeking, seeking, seeking.
