“I Am Here Only to Be Truly Helpful” |

…I should like to review a prayer from the early part of the text: |
“I don’t know how to explain this,” I said
in a shaky voice, “and
it’s very hard to describe. But, well …” I
hesitated a moment, and then went on breathlessly, “I saw a great light, and waves
and waves of love came out of it, and when I opened my eyes I loved everybody.
It’s all gone now, and I don’t understand what happened.”

About 500 B.C. it was written: "It easily happens that a man, when taking a bath, steps upon a wet rope and imagines that it is a snake. Horror will overcome him, and he will shake from fear, anticipating in his thought all the agonies caused by the serpent's venomous bite. What a relief does this man experience when he sees that the rope is no snake! The cause of his fright lies in his error, his ignorance, his illusion. If the true nature of the rope is recognized, his tranquility of mind will come back to him; he will feel relieved; he will be joyful and happy.
