Nichole's conversation with God

God says, “Nichole, you are so happy. What makes you so happy?”

“God, today my Guru has come to my house. He has blessed me. That is why I am so happy.”

“Where does your Guru live?”

“He lives in America. He comes to Jamaica two or three times a year. My Guru has come to my house! My Guru has blessed me today! My Guru!”

“What do you feel Nichole, when your Guru blesses you?”

“When my Guru blesses me, I feel that I have become as good as he is. When I look at myself, I feel that I have become as great as my Guru is.”

“I am so proud of you, Nichole. Now tell Me, do you want to be always as good and great as your Guru is?”

“Yes, yes, please tell me how I can be always as good and great as my Guru is.”

“Then every day when you meditate before your Guru’s picture, try to feel that your Guru constantly speaks to Me about you.”

“God, that is extremely easy. From today I shall feel that my Guru constantly speaks to You about me.”

“Then I tell you for sure that you can be as good and great as your Guru.”

“Oh God, I thank You, I thank You.”
