It’s no good talking about a 'humble and contrite heart’ or the 'knee of understanding’ to those nay sayers. An idea that I toy with is that the metaphysical intuition of necessity as underpinning contingency is a slight flicker of the lace curtain. In the Gita chapter 3:22, 23 Krishna alludes to this:
Arjuna, there is nothing in the three worlds for Me to do, nor is there anything worth attaining unattained by Me; yet I continue to work.
Should I not engage in action, unwearied at any time, great harm will come to the world; for Arjuna, men follow my path in all matters.
That bare intuition is not a R.S.V.P. You have to want to get in to get that invitation. A question asked by spiritual teachers is - What do you want? What does your life say that you want? That antique expression, cop yourself on, should be revived.
