IF YOU ACCEPT YOURSELF, that is the beginning of accepting all. If you reject yourself you are basically rejecting the universe; if you reject yourself you are rejecting God. IF YOU ACCEPT YOURSELF, YOU HAVE ACCEPTED GOD. Then there is nothing to do but to enjoy, to celebrate.
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING you have been told how you should be. Nobody has ever told you that YOU ARE GOOD AS YOU ARE, they have all put programs in your mind. YOU HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED by the parents, by the priests, politicians, teachers — you have been programmed for only one thing; JUST GO ON IMPROVING UPON YOURSELF. Whatever you are, go on rushing for something else. Never rest: Work unto death.
My teaching is simply: DON’T POSTPONE LIFE. Don’t wait for tomorrow, it never comes. LIVE IT TODAY!
