Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

to stay there. As long as you have any fear of God or
any man or woman seeing you other than your idea of
how you think you should be seen, your tasting of the
Self will be brief.
This does not deny that repeated tasting of the
Self, the immense source of the ‘I Am’, aids
immeasurably in giving you the courage and strength
to own, appreciate and love everything that arises
within you, and to equally prize, love and appreciate
those who cause intense emotions in you, both
negative and positive, because they are giving you the
opportunity to experience God in the form of Shakti.
All emotions lead to bliss, to ecstasy, to God if you
let them. Therefore run towards emotional pain, not
from it!
