Meditation is a long loving look at the real. In it our world, our issues and hurts, all our goals and desires gradually dissolve and fall into proper perspective. God becomes obvious and ever-present. We enter into the very bosom of God's love.
We experience a spiritual joy that comes from elsewhere and flows through us. At the same moment, we experience the exact opposite emotion, tears of an immense sadness — a sadness about the people whom we had hurt, and a sadness at our mixed motives and selfishness. This is the very same non-dual experience of the saints who could rejoice in the midst of suffering.
This tear-inducing deep experience in meditation is the experience of the flow of true love, experiencing God.
Psalm 42:1-3 "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night."
