no evil forces in the world.
There are only people of awareness,
and there are people who are fast asleep -

One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted
without losing it's light.

He consists only of one quality: witnessing.

As the witnessing deepens,
you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.
