We have always been trained to think that we are human beings looking for spiritual experience. Now I tell you: You are a spiritual being looking for human experience. This is the Truth. If you develop a firm conviction about this Truth, it is enough; you will start experiencing it.

I tell people: I am not here to prove I am God; I am here to prove you are God! People look at me with shock and fear when I tell them this. But it is the Truth. When I say this, I don't mean that you should develop a spiritual ego; I don't mean that you should go around claiming that you are God. Just understand that by nature you are an ego-free spiritual Being and because of societal conditioning, you feel that you are a human being, and so you start searching for spiritual experiences.

When this point is understood deeply, you will understand that all emotions like fear, jealousy, desire, ego and discontent become baseless! A spiritual being can never come under the clutches of these emotions. But you have been reduced to an ordinary human being; that is the problem. What has happened is, you are pure energy but you reduce yourself to matter. When this happens, emotions possess you like possessing matter.
