19. My approach to your growth is basically to make you independent of me.

Any kind of dependence is slavery, and spiritual dependence is the worst


slavery of all. I have been making every making every effort to make you aware
of your individuality, freedom, your absolute capacity to grow without help

me, if you have trusted me, you will feel me in a thousands and one ways.
