Believe me. Whatever you think, you get; so think of yourself as a good, good saint. Even if you don’t believe it that much, try. Keep thinking like that because you are. You are in the process of remembering again that you are a saint, anyway. You were a saint before you came here. It’s just that you have chosen to forget, to be a human and do whatever silly things you have to do for the role you play here. But now, once you go into a Center, that is the time to forget your role and to remember your real Self. So every time you walk through the gate of the Center, remember: You are a saint, you are a Buddha, and you are reclaiming yourself now. “This is a time all for myself, all for my sainthood; nothing else comes between that and me. I’m OK; I’m great; I’m going to practice during these two, three, or four hours I am here, as a saint. I’m going to practice and rehearse again my role as a saint in this world.” Because if you want to be an ordinary stupid person again in the Center, where else can you be a saint? Where else can you remember yourself as great, as holy, as flawless, as intelligent, as enlightened, as all blessing, all grace, all glory, all God-like?

You may ask me questions; that’s OK. You may ask them to satisfy your brain. But don’t act like a stupid nuisance. Don’t lower your level of dignity. Don’t lower your consciousness. Don’t be contented with the lower self. Don’t be a habit-driven creature, going everywhere and being a nuisance, grabbing and greedy, bugging people and making a fool, a stupid ‘you-know-what’ of yourself.

The law of God is: “As you think, so shall you become.” Keep thinking until your thinking power becomes very strong, and then you become that. Whatever you think you are, you will become. It may not be in one day that you think and you become a saint, or that you will remember yourself as a saint right away. But keep thinking in that direction, or at least whenever you go to the Center. That is the time for you to be a saint, at least.

The power of creation is within your sight. It’s in your head, in your brain, and in your mind. Because you’re God, you have this creative power. So you can create what you are. Create yourself with dignity; create yourself as a saint; create yourself as a Buddha. Keep creating, until it becomes reality. How do you think we became like this? Because we have been thinking and creating ourselves like this - until we became it. It took time, but it happened. That’s why we have to meditate every day: to create, re-create, and remember - until we are firm in our remembrance of our original Self. Then we are assured that we are Saints. We have just forgotten, and now we have to try to remember, again and again.

Every time you walk through the Center’s gate, remember that you are a Saint. The more you remember, the more you will be one, and the more enlightenment will come to you and be nearer to you. It is already there; it’s just that the more you remind yourself, the more you realize you have.

So do not obstruct yourself with those stupid habits. You are a Saint. Don’t make a fool of yourself. It looks silly, it looks funny, it looks stupid, and I’m not proud of you when you do that. I’m proud of you when you walk with your head high, when you’re in very noble spirits, when you’re self confident, knowing that you are Saints, or at least knowing that you are Saints who maybe doesn’t realize it yet. At least you can say, “Maybe I haven’t remembered it fully yet, but I know I’m a Saint.” Each time you think and walk like a Saint, you are a Saint - there’s no question about it. Because you are already! It’s just that you always forget it. Each time you remember, that is the time you are. My God, it’s so easy to be a Saint. It’s easier than eating, sleeping, or anything else. Just remember it.
