Going beyond the need for help

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

When you have understood that all existence,

in separation and limitation, is painful, and

when you are willing and able to live integrally,

in oneness with all life, as pure being, you have

gone beyond all need of help. You can help another

by precept and example and, above all, by your

being. You cannot give what you do not have and

you don't have what you are not. You can only give

what you are - and of that you can give limitlessly.
