Even before you are enlightened - before you have freed yourself from your mind - you may get a few or many glimpses of true joy, true love, or of a deep inner peace, still but vibrantly alive. These are aspects of our true nature, which is usually obscured by the mind. Even within a "normal" addictive relationship, there can be moments when presence of something genuine, something incorruptible, can be felt. But they will only be glimpses, soon to covered up again through mind interference. It may then seem that you had something very precious and lost it, you know that feeling? Or your mind may convince your that it was all an illusion anyway. The truth is that it wasn't an illusion, and you cannot lose it. That very precious is a part of your natural state, which can be obscured but can NEVER be destroyed by the mind. Be proud of that beautiful part of you, hang on to that precious thing, called love.
Even when the sky is heavily overcast, the sun hasn't disappeared. It's still there on the other side of the clouds.
