will be in eternal quest, never ending. <strong>The</strong> sense <strong>of</strong> benessis a quality <strong>of</strong> the heart. We are the soul, don’t thinkwe have to become a soul. <strong>The</strong>re is no need to becomea soul, because we are already a soul. It is a matter <strong>of</strong>recognition, but not a matter <strong>of</strong> attainment. How canwe attain, unless it is something different from us?How can we attain, which is not different from us? IfI search for Parvathi Kumar in Buenos Aires, do I findhim? I am Parvathi Kumar, so there is no sense in tryingto look for Parvathi Kumar in Buenos Aires. I am thesoul, I have a personality. This has to be recollected andrecognized. That recollection is easy when we stay inthe heart, because the one, whom we are searching foris ourselves only. How can we search ourselves at anyplace other than ourselves?I tell you a story: <strong>The</strong>re were two very great brothers.<strong>The</strong>y have conquered every power.

You say the Lord, who killed your brother,does not exist, how can it be? On one side you say thathe killed your brother, on the other side you say hedoes not exist.
