Sometimes approach your inner reality as a light phenomenon... just think of yourself as nothing but light. And sometimes approach your innermost door as love. When you are alone, think of yourself as light; when you are with somebody, think of yourself as love. When you are alone, enter your reality with this meditation -- that you are light.

Jesus uses two maxims: in one he says that god is light, in another he says that god is love. When you are alone, become light -- that is the way of meditation. When you relate with people become love -- that is the way of prayer. And try to catch hold of your reality from both ways. Any one way is lopsided. And there is no need to miss the other, because the other is also tremendously beautiful. Just to feel oneself as light -- as infinite criss-crossing waves of light, rays of light; just a net, a beautiful net of nothing but light is so incredibly beautiful. It's fantastic.
