A Quote by Gautama Buddha
A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: "Are you a God?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "Are you a saint?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "Are you a magician?" "No, brahmin" said The Blessed One. "What are you then?" "I am awake."

I never put it together until I discovered The Secret; it was her words that BROUGHT her blessed and perfect life!
