I'm bamboozled by most of life's mysteries, Steve. All I can truly say is that Master's teachings and those of many saints have been my closest link with truth. Meditation, pain and suffering have also been helpful teachers. And my wife. Great for bringing down the ego.

I think you are doing an amazing service with these boards and I appreciate you trying to connect with me on some level. It is too easy to take these things for granted, as you say, and as we get older the temporary nature of this world helps us to appreciate the little blessings we have right here and now.

I hope your visit with Amma helps you. I nearly went to see her years ago in Melbourne but life was too hectic and I missed the chance. Being in Australia we don't have the connection with the monastics like in India and the U.S so it can feel a bit isolating. But as meditation deepens it's hard not to feel the attunement and after all this is what Master wants from us and wanted from the devotees when he was in flesh. Attunement on the higher levels.
