Everybody, even if they are not aware of it, is seeking this same radiant personality which is always living in you and me. Even if we have committed mistakes, the Self doesn't relocate himself. Even if we have caused endless trouble to ourselves and others, the Divine Mother is still there within us. So in all our work, the first thing to keep in mind is that the same Self lives within every one of us and can be discovered.
