"Let go of all old things and allow yourself to become true and clean. We now have the opportunity to change our attitude and perceptions. Time is calling us, the world is calling us and, if you listen, your own inner voice is calling you. But even if time is calling you, without self-realisation you will not listen. Look at what time is saying. Look at the present situation of the world. You have to think about your own future and the future of the world. Be willing to let go of the past and change. Self-realisation and positive change are the vehicles into the future. When we change, the world changes".
