You're a refraction of the one light.  You're a waveform of light.  You're a fractal, a pattern, that life has created, and that continuously changes.

The only reason you feel pain is because you're so busy looking at yourself instead of looking at the wonderful patterns of light.  If you become absorbed in the wonderful patterns of light, then there's no pain..

You see, I'm a believer in the rhapsodic.  I like things that are happy.  For no particular reason, I just like them.  Most people don't seem to be like that in this particular place, in this world.  You can tell by what they focus on.  Read a newspaper, watch a TV show, go to a movie, look at a life.  People seem to thrive on misery and unhappiness.  I seem to be a minority of one.

It's a question of discrimination, what we do with our mind, what we do with our life.  You have a choice.  You do.  You don't believe me, I can tell, but you do.  You can choose to look at beauty, to look at hope, to look at ecstasy, and if you look at it long enough there's nothing else.  There's nothing else.  In the eye of Vishnu, there's only Lakshmi.  In the eye of Lakshmi, there's only Vishnu.  You see?
