Nothing can dominate the Spirit

August 8, 1984

The second thing that happens to you when you become the Spirit is that you become so powerful that nothing dominates you. Nothing dominates you. There is no habit that can dominate you. No temptation can dominate you and you become very powerful. But at the same time you are extremely compassionate, you are extremely kind, so it is a very compassionate power that you develop of the Spirit and you become a new personality, a wonderful personality.

We know when we have Christmas, when we have Easter, we give eggs to people. This denotes the Resurrection of Christ as our own Resurrection, that an egg has to become the bird. It is symbolic of that. That we are like eggs when we are closed, when we have this ‘I-ness’ within us, and then suddenly when this happens to us, this egg becomes the bird and you become completely free and you know what freedom is. Freedom is not a license but a freedom which absolutely does not curb anybody’s freedom nor is [it] giving you any bondages. It is something so great it should happen to all of us.
