What I realize today is something slightly different. It is this: When I met my 

guru, he spoke the truth so clearly that I could hear my own heart speaking. My 

heart was speaking—my heart where God dwells. 

My heart said: now is your time to wake up. Now is your time to be free, to  

live as the divine being that you are. This is what the world needs. This is what you 

need; this is what you have been waiting for. Your divine life is waiting for you.
