The Master Said:
"All trouble and botheration comes to an end when the 'I' dies.
You may indulge in thousands of reasonings,
but still the 'I' doesn't disappear. For people like you and me,
it is good to have the feeling, 'I am a lover of God.'"

The Master Said:
"Think of Brahman, Existance - Knowledge - Bliss Absolute,
as a shoreless ocean. Through the cooling influence,
as it were, of the bhakta's love, the water has frozen
at places into blocks of ice. In other words, God now and then
assumes various forms for His lovers and reveals Himself
to them as a Person."
