Day and night we hurt ourselves because we are separating ourselves. We make someone "mine" or "my buddy" or "my enemy"; mental division is continuous. The world is just to be where you are. Why do we make their problem our problem? You are light and the breath. So when you inhale the breath, you are inhaling the same breath breathed by Jesus, Moses, Mahavir, Buddha, Rama, and Krishna. They didn't breathe different breath. It is the same breath. Millions of years have gone by, but breath is the same in the Universe. If you realize, I am breath, you will not die. Everything changes. You will breathe somewhere else. So when body dies, breath is still there. You will take another form. You will breathe somewhere else.
Many people say "God bless you”. At that time, I hesitate. Why use a third person? Why not say “I bless you"? But take out the ego. When you say “Bless you” you have to have a loving feeling. Heart blesses. Say it as if the person is your son, daughter, loved one. They are someone's loved one.
Go a little deeper into self. Everyday life is a process of healing. Heal. Not later on, but every day. We don't know when breath goes out, it may not come back, and we will be gone. Can you ask a palmist, and when seeing your palm says "Your time is very long”. But this does not decide it, your life depends upon your breath. When the breath exhaled does not come back, it is over. We are breath. When you know breath, you don't want to pollute breath.
Why do you fight with people? It is because of your concept. This person does not agree with me, so they are not my friend. You like "yes mister, yes miss"; everyone who says yes and agrees with you. That is conditioning. But if you have breath, then you are OK if someone disagrees with you. If you ħave lunch together, you don't see shape, size, etc. There is harmony inside. So live in this world and realize the divinity of consciousness. Don't cause any illness to your mind, body or senses. I am going to become my friend today. Everyone will heal and make a commitment from today on that I will be my own friend. So what advice I give to others I will give to myself first. So when you don't hurt yourself, you are not hurting others. You must be hurting yourself first. I will not have anything that will hurt my consciousness. We know the law, and we see, but we don't meditate on it.
Take a matchstick. It can ignite anything, but before it ignites it, it must ignite its own face first. If you take a picture when you are angry, you don't want to
