You find so many people are seeking the truth, but they don&#8217;t know what to find and that&#8217;s how they are twisted around, taken to some sort of false rites. It is important, first of all, to know what is the truth we are seeking.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The truth is &#8211; if I tell you, it&#8217;s very simple &#8211; that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not this intellect, you are not these emotions, but you are the pure spirit. That&#8217;s what you have to become &#8211; the pure spirit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And another truth is that the power that leads you to the state where you know the truth about yourself, about everything, is within you. This power <\/em>[kundalini]<em> is within you. It is your own, born with you, with every human being.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That&#8217;s surprising. If all the human beings in the whole world have this power\u00a0within their triangular bone<\/em> [sacrum], <em>how can we differentiate them? They are all just the same.

Truth is love and love is truth. And when She becomes one with that, you are a transformed personality&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The greatest thing that happens to you is that you become a\u00a0new personality with collective consciousness&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Once you are transformed, you become a person of tremendous love and patience. You love everything. You understand everything through love. It is not love of some sort of an expectation. It is a love of giving. You just enjoy giving, giving.
