Wonderful thoughts! the first time i ever felt the benevolence in my life was the day i questioned the purpose of my existence. till then i thought i had quite decent life was walking on the path with out being aware and then suddenly it all went topsey turvey and nothing made sense. The day i started looking for answers that went beyond my logic was the day i felt that something deeper in me connecting to something larger than me.. my soul connected to the spirit.. that was a primal benevolence responding to me... and to me the intimate kindness reflects extension of that response.. someone/something responded to me that day simply because i asked, no resrvations...no conditions to be met... same way when v start responding to our selves and others without reservation .. without any conditions- is the benevolence within each of us responding to someone's longing.. to me that is a refection of some intimate kindness..
