The more things change

 the more they stay

 the same.

A caterpillar carries

within it the germ

of the butterfly.

An acorn carries

within

the mighty oak.

And we,what 

do we carry

within?

What is our heritage

what is our 

potential?

Do we know this,

Do we understand,

Do we care?

What can I do 

To nourish

this seed?

The rain falls 

on all things,

Weeds and vegetables alike.

The vegetables grow 

into useful forms

How about me?

I am telling you the only way to reach the treasure that is your birthright is to go within. Deep within your innermost being dwells that Almighty One who never diminishes or decreases. Please know this- please look – it is there.

     Search for it carefully and go there as love within love.If you open your eyes and look – it is there.It exists as light within light, as the qualities within the qualities. There is a treasure that is fundamental and eternal. It is wisdom,  it is the ocean of compassion, it is light to all beings in the world who see it. This eternal treasure is love.

The heart of a woman is  similar to a flower.It can very quickly develop a beautiful,loving fragrance.If we carefully pick it and carefully take in the fragrance, it will give us the perfume. But if we pluck it impatiently and crush it in our hands, it will give us the smell of a crushed flower. It will not give us the original fragrance. You must not crush the heart of the woman in your life. You must not crush it or squeeze it.We must touch it with care, pick it with care, and smell the fragrance with care. It is only then that it will benefit you. The heart of a woman is very delicate and tender.

You must love all lives as your own.You must show compassion,pity,charity,kindness and amiability towards all lives.If you shine with these qualities,your inner heart and your body will become resplendent like gold and the whole world will be yours.You will become the friend of the recluse who lives without any attachments.The Primal One will be yours.You will glitter everywhere with your resplendence.You will become the friend to all lives on earth.Realize this,clarify and redeem yourself, gems of my eyes.
