Be simple and sincere....

Be simple and sincere.
It is sheer waste of money 
to burden the pictures and idols
in the shrines and altars of your homes 
with a weight of garlands, and to parade 
costly utensils and vessels and offerings,
to show off your devotion. 

This is deception; it demeans Divinity, 
imputing to it the desire for pomp and publicity.
I ask only for purity of heart, to shower Grace. 

Do not posit distance between you and Me; 
do not interpose the formalities of the 
Preceptor-disciple relationship, 
or even the altitudinal distinctions of 
the God-Devotee relationship, between you and Me.

I am neither Guru nor God; I am You; 
You are I; that is the Truth. There is no distinction. 
That which appears so is the delusion. 
You are waves; I am the Ocean. Know this and be free, be Divine.

from a divine source...
