5 October 1980
I do not deny the fact that God the Creator and God the creation are one. But if I have to make a choice between God the Creator and God the Creation, I shall always choose God the Creator, God the Creator, God the Creator. This is my personal choice, and this will always remain my personal choice, for God the Creator preceded God the creation. I wish to be always with the Source, in the Source and for the Source.
