Said the young man, Gautama Siddhartha, I have awakened to the truth
and I am resolved to accomplish my purpose,--Verily I shall become a
Buddha. It was this that brought him into the life of the Enlightened
One, and so into the realization of Nirvana right here in this life.
That this same realization and life is within the possibilities of all
here and now was his teaching. It was this that has made him the Light
Bearer to millions of people.

this life. That all could come into this same realization and life
here and now was his teaching. It was this that has made him the Light
Bearer to millions of people.

and all-important truth. They are people whose lives are in this way
guided not only in a general way, but literally in every detail. They
simply live in the realization of their oneness with this Infinite
Power, continually in harmony with it, and so continually in the
realization of the kingdom of heaven. An abundance of all things is
theirs. They are never at a loss for anything. The supply seems
always equal to the demand. They never seem at a loss in regard to
what to do or how to do it. Their lives are care-less lives. They are
lives free from care because they are continually conscious of the fact
that the higher powers are doing the guiding, and they are relieved of
the responsibility. To enter into detail in connection with some of
these lives, and particularly with two or three that come t
