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.

  • "Surrender is as delicate as a flower and no hand need touch it."

  • "To study the Teacher is to study your own Self. There's no greater truth than one's own Self. There's nothing higher than one's own Self. There's nothing other than one's Self."

  • Enlightenment, therefore, only arrives in the form of a Gift. After all efforts have failed, locate Grace and surrender to That, whether in the form of a living Spiritual Master or within the Invisible Absolute of your own Self. Grace is the Master, whether He speaks or remains silent.

  • "There is a molten lava flowing in the depths of Being, hot and churning -- an Ocean of Fire and Nectar at the core of Being."

  • It is so lonely to be the One. You love and love without an 'other'.

  • The Supreme Union is the complete realization that meditation is devotion. Then all spiritual practices drop off like dried leaves from a tree.

  • Grace is the Liberating Power and Knowledge and Presence of Consciousness. That's what Grace is: the Power of your own Self, revealed to you, either through a Master or through the Gateway of your own Heart. It's the Same Thing.

  • It is really the urge to love and be loved, the desire for deep intimacy, that is at the heart of all suffering in this world and in the other worlds as well. Everything is addicted to love. Nothing is truly immune to love.

  • "Grace is the key [and] you also should presume that Grace is already active and has been active. It need not appear "again," according to various expectations and fantasies of the mind."

  • When the Divine Mother fully possesses you, you have no life left. You've given it all. Then you are on fire with a love that is unquenchable, with a lovingness which has the reverberations of emptiness within it.
