Another way to think about this is to mull over the blessed fact that
when people (like Buddha or Jesus) experienced this union their reaction
was to get up on their feet and with love tell humanity about it, rather
than just stay absorbed in it and "to hell with the rest of us".
The most amazing fact to me IS their compassion.
Without their loving effort where would we be?
