For those on a serious spiritual path, especially for someone who wants to go Home in this lifetime, time is of the essence. Gourasana says, “To leave this plane of illusion in this lifetime, you must be prepared to let go of everything, including your very life as you would have it.” Later, He continues, “But to leave is very difficult. Your life must become absorbed in this endeavor.” It’s for this reason that Gourasana and Kalindi both taught serious seekers to not waste time. In this talk, He advises people to increase their awareness and desire and to make a decision about what they want in this lifetime.
