13th May 1993 – Throw away your begging bowl
“For the first time you are going to meet Eternal Immaculate Beauty. It is a rare luck, rare chance. Don’t tie yourself. You have to cut all ropes. You have to go very free. Give up all intentions, desires, and then taste it. You don’t need to beg. You don’t need to tie anything. Everything belongs to you. You are king. Throw away your begging bowl.”
