Sometimes we come here with a very, very special choice. But by the time we come here, we've forgotten. So the special choice that we made in Heaven becomes like a hindrance or a burden during our life here. But actually, blessings come in many different ways and disguises. In English they say something like, "The strongest tree grows in the most unfriendly soil."

So we must not concentrate on the choice that we have made, or the so-called disadvantages that we think we have. Because, after all, everything is an illusion anyhow. Concentrate instead on what we want to make out of our life and what we have, instead of what we do not have. There are endless things that we do not have. But there are a lot of things we have that we know, and a lot of things that we have and we also don't know. So, we have a lot more to use.

When I was young, because I was very little, people teased me and I felt very bad. But then later, after a while, I met some other people who loved me because I was small. And I realized that the others were lousy. So actually, everything in this life has a purpose.

Sometimes before we came to this world we have chosen a harder way to practice. We say, "OK, I would like to be a shorter person, or a fatter person, or a very exceptionally tall person." Or, "I want to be a handicapped person, in order to pay for quicker progress in finding God, or to help other people to find God in the same situation as me, to help those people who are in the same position." But when we come here, we wear this human's brain, and then we begin to compare ourselves with other people. And we begin to feel complexity; we begin to feel that our choice is too disadvantageous now. But it's just the mind that thinks like that.

We are God, and when we go back to Heaven, or when we are really enlightened, it doesn't matter at all what we look like. We don't feel disturbed anymore. The main thing is to be enlightened, deeply enlightened, so that we can find Heaven right now and so we know that nothing is really us. Not even the outer beauty or the outer disadvantage is us. They are not us. They are just the clothes we wear.

So what's important is to be enlightened, not to be anything else. And everything else will come along.
