“Your situation is quite simple; you have this choice or that choice. You dont have a complex set of options to work out or decisions to make. Youve got a very simple situation: Youre either going to go to God, or Truthor youre not. You either want it, or you dont. And if you do want itand want to goand decide to gothen you can do it the bkakti way (the devotional way), and then its kind of like, you buy a ticket, and its all set. Oryou can grope your way, go on your own legswhich is your only other option (if you dont do it the devotional way). And thats the longer, harder way (but just as legitimate, and will get you there, if you persist). And thats everything. Thats why youre here. Thats why youre alive. Thats why you were born. Thats why youre you. With the one more thing, that Ive been stressing: Being you is excellent circumstances for accomplishing this.”
