• Even towards yourself you have to be tremendously loving, because you too are god's form. One has to love oneself, one has to love all. Love is prayer. And the more you love, the more you will feel your consciousness expanding, becoming bigger - because whomsoever we love becomes part of our being, we include him. Mm?

Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers or to respond to pop-calls. Our whole being must be in our praying.
