This essence is taking the form of a living human being. Many are seeing that form. And for that it is understood that this essence is one. The existence is separate but that essence is one.”

“You were born, your life was to serve other souls, Love and serve or you'll be left alone, You worship not GOD but listen to Satan, That's why try not to think of going to Heaven, Being selfish will for sure lead you to pain, You will burn in fire and the GOD loving people will dance in the rain, The ego you have doesn't make any sense, One day you'll die and you won't have a second chance... It's 2:41 Am ~Me” ― Mr.Khan”
