It isn’t the money or the stuff.
It is absolutely the amount of joy that you feel. ~Abraham-Hicks

First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings,
not on the words.

Second, rely on the teachings,
not on the personality of the teacher.

Third, rely on real wisdom,
not superficial interpretation.

And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure wisdom,
not on judgmental perceptions.
