MY ANSWER IS ONE

Beloved Oshjo Should we take your advice not to take anyone’s advice?

Advice is the only thing in the world which everybody gives and nobody takes . I will never give you any advice. Because who am I to give you advice?. You are unique. Every individual is unique. My advice will be my experience. That may distract you from y our own life. Do not ask anyone for advice either. Enough to experience on your own .The moment you ask for advice you become a slave. And if you follow it, you have committed suicide.

I don’t want you to commit suicide,I want you to grow higher and higher into life, into love. Into light.
