[Jitendra Hydonus]

For years here in this culture in the United Clones I always heard people talking about others who talked to themselves in a disdainfull manner.

One important feature I remember about Brother Bhaktananda's advice is that he quite frequently would tell us that we should talk to our Selves. Some of the examples he used: When you rap your skull during energization tell all the little brain cells to wake up. When you have problems with your mind during meditation with too many thoughts tell your mind to settle down now! When you talk to God in the language of your heart think of a mouth in your heart and say 'I Love You Lord'!

He told us that he used say over and over 'I love you' inwardly towards the Guru. Once the Master actually walked up to him and said; 'I Love You Also.'
