"So it's just that, for the sake of pacifying the world I can't afford to always have a personal relationship with every of you. But each one of us has to develop fast and then also help our neighbors to develop so that our world is not such an unbearable place, or disasters don't come too quickly, so that everyone still has time to remember his God Nature. So therefore I can't afford to spend time with you. Otherwise, each one of you is a wonderful piece of creation, and is a wonderful book of poetry, and life, a real thing, a real creature, with a real history. Each one of you has a real history and you should treasure that. You should treasure your boyfriend's good point of view, and his good qualities, and his wonderful inner wisdom and nature. You must dig that out and enjoy it.

Don't just look at the surface. Don't just think, "Oh, if I become a nun I will be better, a saint or more quickly enlightened. If I have a better boyfriend I will feel better." It's not true. Whatever you put into a relationship, that's what you get out. It's the same with life and enlightenment and everything else. Whatever we put in is what we get out. We are the only ones who really create our own life and experience. Change whatever is necessary to make yourself feel better. Change your hairstyle, change your make-up, change your clothes, change your lifestyle, change something! Make it nice and more interesting. If you are an interesting person, you will never feel very bored, anywhere."
