The only way you can give anybody anything, is by knowing yourself.

The only way you can ever help other people
is by knowing yourself.
The only way you can ever be of service to others,
is by knowing yourself.
The only way you can give anybody anything, 
is by knowing yourself.
For when you know yourself, you know others.
You will find the others, are yourself. 

There is only one Self. Everything is that Self, everything.
Every leaf, every plant, every cloud, everything is the one Self.
That one Self is you.

Yet most of you have not experienced this or tasted this.
And you cannot accept on blind faith
what you haven't experienced or tasted. 

Consequently, when you find out that something else exists,
that is beyond the humanhood, beyond experience,
you go searching for it. You go looking for it. 

But where do you go searching?
Within yourself, not out in the world.
When you go searching in the world, what do you find?
More world, that's all.

People go looking for answers in this world.
They go looking for special teachers in this world.
All they find is more world.
The answer is within you, nowhere else. You are the one.

You have everything you need within yourself,
to find all the answers of your life and your existence.
You have it. It's you. But something stops us from doing this. 

That something is called the mind.
The mind is not really our friend.
The mind keeps you earthbound,
keeps you attached to person, place or thing.
It makes you believe your happiness is right around the corner.
Your freedom is in New Jersey. Your liberation is in San Jose.
And you go everywhere looking for this, and you're always disappointed.
