Be a lamp unto yourself

'Be a lamp unto yourself.
Don't search for light anywhere else;
the light is already there, the fire is already there...

Just probe a little deeper into your being, enquire.
Maybe much ash has gathered around the fire...
Just probe deep inside, and you will find the spark again.
And once you have found a single spark inside you,
you will become a flame, soon you will be a fire...
a fire that purifies, a fire that transforms,
a fire that gives you a new birth and a new being.
Be a lamp unto yourself.'
Last words of Gautama, the Buddha
