Suffering

There is no need to go through suffering at all. When Christ has done it for you – finished. You just have to awaken Christ within you. Count your blessings one by one. It’s not such serious stuff.

Guru and Mother

You are really fortunate to have a Guru, which is a Mother. And my Mother and Guru is this Mother Earth which teaches me how to deal with human beings.

Seeing others

Those who are on the emotional side see the egos of others, while those who are on the ego side see the emotional side of others. So one criticizes the other. But they don't see themselves, that they are falling into a trap, into one of the extremes.

Joy

People get confused with emotions. Joy can only be achieved through complete detachment. The detachment which is without Ego and Superego.

Negative aspects of Ego and Superego

Separate yourself as Spirit and look at your ego and superego. Start watching the ego and superego – do not maintain them, they are the destroying forces. Now when you see the play as a witness of these destroying forces you will know how to also maintain yourself better.

Balance

The wisdom or the essence of Guru Tattva is a balance. Like when you maintain a plant, if you do not give it water it will die, if you give it too much water it will die.

Divine play

The Divine play is not frivolous, it is joyful. And the joy does not have that duality.
