When I speak of reality, I always think of the essence. Spiritual depth is not located in a remote, inaccessible region. It is rooted in everyday life. This is what great thinkers have taught me, especially the philosophers of the Far East, for whom true wisdom – from which I am far removed – is the connection between samsara (the ordinary world) and nirvana (deep reality).
To achieve contact with reality does not meaning putting yourself somewhere else; it is not transcendence, but a thorough immersion in one’s own environment. A reality that is neither purely physical nor metaphysical, but both at the same time.
