Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion is a compilation of David's poetry, essays, aphorisms and discourses. It is also a confession of his ecstatic spiritual realization and a potent vehicle of his living transmission.

In the Introduction to David's book, the Reverend Thomas Ahlburn writes: ". . . I think David's views are as brilliantly insightful as any that one is likely to encounter among living spiritual writers, including those of Ram Dass, Andrew Harvey, Ken Wilber, Bernadette Roberts, and the great spiritual genius Adi Da Samraj."

David's book will be sent to you in sincere appreciation for your donation in support of his teaching.

Quotes

Thank you to the Friends this website for sharing their favorite David Spero quotes.

  • "You see, I don’t want to even be enlightened when I come in this room -- that's too much baggage. I’m just as I am. I’m just who I am -- and that includes the relative 'me' and the absolute 'Me'."

  • You know, you've never been alive until you are Self-realized. You've been some kind of dead, robotic automaton walking around and functioning. You've been a completely conditioned mass of reflexes: memory, experience, desire; fear, anger, pain.

  • "Love creates out of Itself endlessly and makes more and more of Itself."

  • The Spiritual Master who has attained the full grace of Kali is like no other Teacher or Guru -- even the Enlightened Ones should come to receive His Blessings.

  • You may not be able to end suffering, but you can participate in it ecstatically, which is better than ending it.

  • "Surrendering more and more into the Self or Consciousness that has no boundaries, that is Pure Awareness, is the path that dissolves obstructions. It's through this sort of natural, unforced surrender, or Love -- the remembrance and recognition of Consciousness -- that you gain unshakable placement in the Self."

  • There is a kind of spiritual madness that is known only by the greatest Lovers of mankind.

  • To speak of the Divine Mother as mere nonduality is to stick a dagger in Her heart. She is a flower, an animal, a distant star, She is the supreme momentum of everything that lives and dies.

  • Have no doubt, you just don’t know how long your process is going to be. No one knows that, not any Guru -- no one, because it’s an organic event, just like this flower, happening right from within itself -- so how can any external thing know about that process?

  • "Divine Love can fix any condition. No matter how deep off the end you think you are. Or how bad you think your situation is. It can heal almost anything, I’ve found. No matter what your spiritual dilemma. There are even people who are practically going mad because they’re at the end of their sadhana and they don’t have the right Teacher to help them complete it."
