The most important realisation you can have is that the eye of the mind is the Eye of God. What perceives within you is God experiencing Its own creation. God is closer to you than your heartbeat, your breath, or your thoughts. You don't need anyone— guru, master, or teacher—to connect you to God because the perceiver within you is God. There is no need to seek outside yourself; simply turn inward and discover the living truth.  dbm.
