God exists in every person. The idea that God is in that person, but not in us, is wrong. God is in everything in the universe. God is the universe. So what if someone has white hair, sports a white beard, makes his voice louder and more resonant to get the crowd cheering—how do those things matter?
===========
There are many people who will want to set you up as a guru. To them you should say, “Come on, you must be kidding. I am just a flawed being. I have God within me, yes, but so do you, and so does the next person.” We don’t need anybody to be our representative of God. We are all representatives of God.
===========
Devi and guru are in and with you. Have no fear. Do what you like. Have no more than three ideas to execute at a time. Prioritize them. See them through to the end.
===========
When I switch on a computer, the monitor comes alive, and I interact and work with the programs. The computer and the power switch enable my experience of the programs.
The guru is like that: it is just an enabling device. Without it, there is no experience of the programs. With it, the experience is still not guaranteed, but the conditions have been met for it to occur. The conditions are (1) having the computer, electricity and programs; and (2) having the willingness to sit in front of it and work.
Ultimately, you are the architect of your own realization.
