You will receive everything you need when you stop asking for what you do not need.

You are concerned with your own happiness and I am telling you that there is no such thing. Happiness is never your own, it is where the ‘I’ is not.

Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.
