four principle

Principle number one: You have a feeling, complete understanding that everything
you see, everything in the universe, in the world, emanates from your mind. In other
words, you feel this. You do not have to think about it, or try to bring it on. It comes by
itself.

The second principle I explained to the bodhisattvas was this: You have to have a
strong feeling, a deep realization, that you are unborn. You are not born, you do not experience
a life, and you do not disappear, you do not die. You are not born, you have no life,
and you do not die. You have to feel this, that you are of the unborn. Do you realize what
this means? There is no cause for your existence. There is no cause for your suffering.
There is no cause for your problems.

Principle number three: You are aware and you have a deep understanding of the
egoless-ness of all things, that everything has no ego. I'm not only speaking of sentient
beings. I'm speaking of the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom,
the human kingdom. Nothing has an ego. There is no ego. And do you realize what
this means? It means that everything is sacred. Everything is God. Only when the ego
comes, does God disappear, what we call "God." Everything becomes God. You have reverence
for everything. When there is no ego, you have reverence for everybody and everything.

Principle number four is simply this: You have a deep conviction, a deep understanding,
a deep feeling of what self-realization of noble wisdom really is. What is Self
Realization of Noble Wisdom to you? You can never know by trying to find out what it is,
because it’s absolute reality. You can only know by finding out what it is not.
