There Is Only One I Actually. That I Is Consciousness. When You Follow The Personal I To The Source, It Turns Into The Universal I, Which Is Consciousness. Begin To Catch Yourself. Begin To Realize Your Divine Nature. You Do This By Keeping Quiet. The Fastest Way To Realization Is To Keep Quiet.

There's Something Within You That Knows What To Do. There Is A Power Greater Than You That Knows How To Take Care Of You Without Your Help. All You've Got To Do Is To Surrender To It. Surrender Your Thoughts, Your Mind, Your Ego, To The Current That Knows The Way. It Will Take Care Of You. It Will Take Better Care Of You Than You Can Ever Imagine.

Always Remember Deep In Your Heart That All Is Well And Everything Is Unfolding As It Should. There Are No Mistakes Anywhere, At Any Time. What Appears To Be Wrong Is Simply Your Own False Imagination. That's All. But We Live In A Universe Of Brahman, Of Absolute Reality, Self -contained Consciousness, Where There's Perfection, Perfect Life, Perfect Bliss, Perfect Being. That Perfection Knows Nothing About Wrong And Right, Good And Bad, Happy And Sad. It Knows Only Itself As Perfection. And You Are That.
