verses were at the root of it, the very source of it.
NOW WE ENTER into this great pilgrimage: The Royal Song of Saraha. It is also called'The Song on Human Action' -- very paradoxical, because it has nothing to do with action. That's why it is also called'The Song on Human Action'. It has something to do with the being, but when the being is transformed, action is transformed. When YOU are transformed, your behavior is transformed -- not vice versa. Not that first you change your action and then your being changes -- no.

Nobody has ever gone to heaven, and nobody has ever gone to hell. Let it be decided once and for all: heaven comes to you, hell comes to you -- it depends on you. Whatsoever you call, it comes.
If your BEING changes, you suddenly become available to heaven -- heaven descends on you. If your being does not change. you are in a conflict;
