“Todo ser humano é movido pela busca da felicidade. Buscamos a
felicidade em todos os lugares. Com certeza você já ouviu dizer que a
felicidade se encontra dentro de si mesmo. Felicidade é o que somos.
Felicidade é a a nossa realidade maior e quando você experimenta essa
realidade, todos os desejos desaparecem e você experiencia silêncio.
Você se percebe como o sol doador de vida. Todas as perguntas cessam e
você tem acesso a respostas para perguntas que nem mesmo fez.”

All questions cease and we have access to answers to unasked questions.”
