Now look inwards with your total consciousness, and with an urgency, as if it is going to be the last moment of your life.

Deeper and deeper, reach to the center of your being.

At this moment you are the buddha, unscratched by thousands of lives. The deeper you can go the more splendor, the more miraculous it becomes. The Buddha Auditorium has changed into a silent lake without any ripples.
