Once he accepts a disciple he'll be always there in some way or another. He knows all our whereabouts. But I know his whereabouts too because I'm one with him. This is why even if I wanted to walk away from I can't because he's in me and I'm in him. Mayka --- On Thu, 21/10/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:
