Drop guilt! - because to be guilty is to live in hell.
Not being guilty, you will have the freshness
of dewdrops in the early morning sun,
you will have the freshness of lotus petals in the lake,
you will have the freshness of the stars in the night.
Once guilt disappears you will have
a totally different kind of life, luminous and radiant.
You will have a dance to your feet
and your heart will be singing a thousand and one songs.

Listen to the melody within your soul.

and the fear-based advice
your neighbors are so willing to give you.

There are those who will never admit it.

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never
be disappointed or disillusioned;

she will hear her heart, saying,
"What have you done with the miracles
that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"
