The Grace of the Sadguru

    God is an ancient devotee who is unified with God.
    God should be worshipped by becoming God.
   When you become a human, you worship man.
   The saint has no anxiety.
   If you become Shiva you will be like Shiva.
   Only the one who is actually the King, is really King.

  Call yourself Brahman.
  If you paint yourself like a tiger you have to act like a tiger.
  Similarly, you have to attain  the state of Shiva by force of your effort.
  When the spotless and pure Sadguru is met,  everything is finished.

 Only by becoming Shiva, can you attain the state of Shiva.  Then that State
 itself will come and put a garland around your neck.
