Forget not that I shall come back to you....
A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind,
and another woman shall bear me, ’

You are responsible for your own learning.Gurus may help in the beginning, But you should not rely upon a guru for long as the ultimate responsibility lies within you.
’ Only love is real ’is an unusual book which analyses human relationships and love from the pont of view of reincarnation , rebirth and the theory of karma .
I will recommend it to any body who has ever loved or anybody who is in the earlier stages of his or her inner journey . (Those who are far advanced do not need any books!)
