From Chapter 3, Painting the Trellis
“I almost left numerous times. But something kept me in place, continuing to paint. . . . The ordeal was finally over, the job was finally done. With the very last stroke of the paint brush, I gave out a deep sigh of relief. Immediately, from the other side of the wall, Franklin burst out laughing. . . .

“Franklin’s laughter lifted me up. It took my attention off my self-concern, all my problems, and directed my feelings to Him. . . . His laughter made me feel profoundly connected to Him. I began laughing with Him . . . This was the one relationship in which there was no need to hide my vulnerability, no reason to protect my so-called ‘self’. Again and again over the years I would be shown the Divine Love and Humor of Avatar Adi Da Samraj and the Way of the Heart.”
Rolf C. Carriere:
Gerald Sheinfeld has written an up-close account of his lifelong devotion and service to his Guru, Adi Da Samraj. In brief vignettes, this Leela book chronicles Gerald’s 45-year struggle for increasingly profound self-understanding aimed at ego-transcendence.
The Leelas make abundantly clear that living in the ever-blessing presence of the Guru is an utterly demanding practice, keeping devotees on their toes all the time, out of their comfort zone, without a let-up, moment to moment, day after day.
The reader becomes a witness to the intimate play in which the Guru, with no holds barred, creates an endless variety of teachable moments, often out of seemingly innocuous events and circumstances, and thereby confronting devotees with their interminable acts of self-contraction. The Guru mirrors devotees back to themselves, all for the sole purpose, and ultimate reward, of Enlightenment. . . .
