When you speak directly out of your heart and out your experience then there is no mistake that it’s real. There is no doubt. Your own self will never lie to you. Your husband will lie, your wife will lie, your guru will lie, the religious books ...
Anyway, you better ask me questions because I'll just keep talking. The reason I keep talking is, I don't want to go into deep meditation. I want to stay with you. I'm just being drawn back, tempted to go into That. I don't want to do that. I ...
