"When your meditativeness goes to such depths that you start feeling pregnant with godliness within, the home becomes a temple. But millions of people are so unfortunate, they go on living in houses. Even to transform a house into a home seems to be difficult for them. And because they cannot transform their home into a temple, that's why they need temples to be created, churches to be created, cathedrals to be created as the dwelling places of God.

"But I say unto you: no church, no temple, no synagogue can become a dwelling place of God if you have not first already become a dwelling place of godliness.

"If this series of transformations happens – from house to home, from home to the temple – the world will need no churches, no temples, no mosques. People go to the temple – this is absurd. The temple has to come into their heart and transform the whole place of their dwelling into a sacred, holy, divine place.

"It is said that when Moses was forced too much by his followers: 'How long is it going to take to reach the city of God, to the divine land, Israel? Why don't you go and ask God himself? – because you have been telling us that you are just a messenger, and the message is not yours but God's. It is time enough, it seems we are on the wrong path.'

"Moses said, 'I will go, but no one should follow me because one can meet God only in absolute aloneness.'

"So the whole caravan of the Jews waited in the valley when Moses went on the mountain top of Sinai. There he came across a strange phenomenon. He did not see God, but he saw a miraculous thing: a green bush – surrounded with flames, and yet the bush was green. It should have been burned long before, and yet the bush was full of fragrant flowers.

"He could not believe his eyes. To have a better look he went closer to the bush. As he went closer a voice was heard. He could not see whose voice it was, but the voice said, 'Moses! Leave your shoes and yourself outside this sacred place."
