John said: "Master, is there any material universe?"

Jesus answered: "No."

John asked: "Is there matter?"

Jesus answered: "No."

John asked: "Is there material body?"

Jesus hesitated a long time and finally said: "Saints believed that their bodies were fashioned of clay and this believing brought them to death."

Jesus said: "Let not him who seeketh cease from seeing until he has found:

... and when he hath found, he shall be amazed,

... and when he hath been amazed, he shall reign,

... and when he shall reign, he shall have rest.

... The kingdom of heaven is within you and whosoever shall know himself, shall find it.

... Strive therefore to know yourselves and ye shall know that ye are in the City of God, and ye are the City."

You can shed tears that she is gone,

Or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,

Or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone,

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,

Be empty and turn your back,

Or you can do what she’d want:

Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
