I sought peace in so many places and teachings, I sought it in truth, I sought it in understanding, and I know that all of this was necessary for me now to understand what I know today. Jesus, Thou art the Master of peace, Thou art the Master of love; no one knows better than Thee how to attain peace and love in the heart. Today I understand and comprehend better how Thy consciousness operates, and I am able to accept and believe in Thy presence and in Thy love.
I needed to know, I needed to understand; superficial explanations were not sufficient for me. I could not accept the simple view that the world had of Thee. I had to search through all religions, through all traditions, through all mysteries; I had to search within myself, I had to see with my own eyes, in order finally to understand that I need only follow Thee. Only that. I desire to be present in Thy presence, I desire to feel the love that Thou feelest, I desire to love as Thou lovest, I desire the peace that Thou hast.
