Betsie and Corrie Ten Boom were in a concentration camp filled with fleas and lice. This stopped the guards from entering their room and they could share the gospel daily to the women in camp.

Mike discusses the authority every believer in Christ has to overcome in spiritual warfare. A story of when God had Corrie Ten Boom take up her authority in Christ while speaking at a church in Eastern Europe is shared to give a picture of the spiritual power and weapons that every Christian possesses. This authority is to be used in the proper context and in the flow of God’s will and not as a way of promoting or calling attention to self.

QUOTE FOR REFLECTION “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”~Jesus, as recorded by John (11:25-26) “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” “Did the resurrection happen? Yes! But, you will be able to confront it only if you let it convince not only your reason and head, but also the commitments of your heart.”~Timothy Keller  “The New Testament writers speak as if Christ's achievement in rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe... He is the trailblazer of life... He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man. He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different because He has done so.”~C.S. Lewis “If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen—nothing else matters.”~Jaroslav Pelikan “...Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!”~Clarence W. Hall  “With Jesus, even in our darkest moments the best remains and the very best is yet to be…”~Corrie Ten BoomSERMON PASSAGE1 Corinthians 15:1-10, 17-19, 30-34, 58 (ESV) 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”  34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Jean Marc is back with another figure from Church history, this time looking at the life of Corrie Ten Boom.

The Apostle Paul wrote that all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua will suffer persecution. However, as Christine Darg points out in this video, true believers in these Last Days will have a Psalm 23 mindset to FEAR NO EVIL!

Father Paul tells the story of a woman whose courage and forgiveness will warm your heart and challenge you to the bottom of your soul.

Lorena Mora-Mowry entrevista con el exitoso y destacado autor español Mario Escobar sobre su nuevo libro «En busca de la esperanza: El refugio de Corrie Ten Boom». Inspirado en la vida de Corrie Ten Boom tal como se describe en su propia memoria, Mario Escobar escribe un «En busca de la esperanza: El refugio de Corrie Ten Boom». Este libro tiene la intención de transportar a los lectores a la angustiante realidad de la Holanda de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En medio de la ocupación nazi, Corrie Ten Boom, una valiente cristiana holandesa, emerge como un faro de esperanza y resiliencia. Escobar entrelaza los eventos de la vida de Corrie, desde los esfuerzos clandestinos de su familia para proteger a los judíos de la persecución hasta su traición y encarcelamiento en campos de concentración. A través de la vívida prosa de Escobar, los lectores son testigos de la fe de Corrie y su compromiso inquebrantable con la compasión ante la adversidad inimaginable.

Corrie ten Boom spent 40 years telling her story—leading many thousands to faith in Christ. On this episode Corrie shares how she was able to forgive a former Nazi guard.

After being arrested and imprisoned in a concentration camp, Corrie ten Boom was left with nothing to cling to but her faith. This is part 2 of a conversation with Pamela Rosewell Moore.

During the Holocaust, Corrie ten Boom and her family helped many Jews escape—until they were caught and taken to a concentration camp themselves.

We will turn the pages of history back to World War II and explore the keys to biblical forgiveness in the midst of the Holocaust through the testimony of Corrie Ten Boom. The foundation of forgiveness rests at the foot of the cross. The words of Jesus on the cross are a model of forgiveness (Forgive them for they know not what they do). The simple truth is that God commands us to love and forgive others, even our enemies. This truth gives us freedom and peace in our daily lives.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 1st of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start off in the Book of Isaiah 55:8. The Lord says: “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.” If we go to the Book of Micah 4:12: “But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord,…” Folks, we must stop arguing with God. You know, Job, the farmer, I can identify with that man so much. Job was arguing with God, remember? You can go to Job 38 and you will see where the Lord has had enough of the arguments, enough of the senseless continually questioning God instead of believing Him. He says: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” I just love it - He says, “Stand up like a man and I will question you.” Maybe God is going to question you today, my dear friend, and say, “Where were you when God created? How dare you question God and His integrity and His authority. Let's stop questioning God and let's start believing God. You see, it's also okay when people come to you and they ask you, “How can God allow this to happen?” You can say, “I don't know” because you are not God, but that is the time that we can say like the farmer Job when he came to his senses, he said, “Even though He slay me, even though He kills me, yet will I still trust Him”, (Job 13:15), because he knew the heart of God.Corrie Ten Boom is one of my heroes, that Dutch lady that was put in a concentration camp with her old dad and her sister, Betsy, and her dad died within weeks and Betsy got sick. She was a Christian and Corrie was nursing her on her lap and she was dying, and Corrie was so upset about what was happening. “God, where are You? How can You let this happen to my sister?” And she heard a little voice whispering. She looked down, it was her sister, and the little voice said, “Corrie, if you know Him, you do not have to ask why.”Let's stop arguing with God today and start believing Him because He always has our best interests at heart.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Homily for the 7th Sunday of Ordinary Time (February 23, 2025) Total Time: 13m20s**I made a mistake and said Corrie Ten Boom was from Belgium. Belgium is a separate country. She was from Holland and from the town of Haarlem in the Netherlands.** Here is the link to Wikipedia to learn more about her. There are numerous videos on YouTube where she was giving talks or being interviewed. I was particularly moved by this one on the power of prayer. On the way back from a trip to Italy with some friends, I watched the movie about her life called, "The Hiding Place". It was excellent! Here is a 30 minutes video with her testimony. 

Millie's prayer, 'God, make me willing to be made willing,' reflects the deep, ongoing journey of surrendering our hearts and desires to God's will, just as Corrie Ten Boom experienced through the power of forgiveness.

A special episode from the Lausanne Movement Archives When God asks us to live a new life in him, he provides us with boundless resources. Few know this truth better than Corrie ten Boom, a concentration camp survivor who was imprisoned for helping Jews escape during World War II.  In this poignant testimony from the first Lausanne Congress in 1974, she illustrates the tender power of God through moving stories drawn from her travels around the world.   Read the transcript here: https://lausanne.org/content/personal-testimony-ten-boom

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Corrie Ten Boom said, "When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles." Meeting together with your local church—which is an extension of the church worldwide—is so very important. Each local church is unique in that it's both the process and product of the experience of Christian fellowship. That is, the local church is both the place where fellowship is developed and expressed and an example of our Christian fellowship to the world. And there are many ways our fellowship in Christ can be nurtured through the local church. In Acts chapter two, we see an example of believers meeting together to break "bread in their homes," and they "ate together with glad and sincere hearts." What a picture to their community of how Jesus brings us, His children, together in unity. And through that example, they told others about Jesus; and Acts two records that there were people coming to Jesus every day. For more on fellowship, visit sharelife.today.

Our capacity to love others comes from God's lavish love for us and in us. God's love within us then compels us to love others lavishly and unconditionally. Both components are essential. Remembrance of baptism.  Justin preaching, Sally doing reaffirmation liturgy. Reflection Questions:1. How do stay near to Jesus Christ? What practices do you regularly engage in? What distances you from God, or currently blocks you from love?2. Reflect on your primary spiritual gift: How can you use your unique abilities to serve and love others, especially those in broken places, and grow closer to God in the process? (if you don't know) https://www.adultbiblestudies.com/spiritual-gifts-survey3. Consider a situation where forgiveness feels difficult or even impossible. What steps can you take to seek God's strength and grace to forgive, as Corrie Ten Boom did, and experience the transformative power of love?Find out more at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.” “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”~Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983), imprisoned for hiding Jews from the Nazis “Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.”~Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), writer of “O Little Town of Bethlehem” “He, who first spoke through patriarchs and prophets, afterwards spoke in his own person…saying, therefore, ‘Now, in my own person, I speak of him of whom I spoke through the prophets.' The world could not hear him in his thundering, but may it hear him, at least, in his crying.”~St Jerome (c.342-420), theologian and Bible translator “The majesty of the Father is expressly imaged in the greatness of the power of the Son, that the one may be believed to be as great as the other…. So, the apostle delivered to us the continuity and eternity of that existence which the Only Begotten has of the Father, calling the Son ‘the brightness of God's glory.'”~Gregory of Nyssa (c.335-c.394), theologian and bishop “Therefore, he is true God, existing consubstantially with the true Father…. For he is the ‘very stamp' of the Father's ‘being,' and ‘light' from ‘light,' and the ‘power' and true ‘image' of the Father's substance.”~Athanasius (c.296-373), theologian and church leader from Alexandria, Egypt “‘You are no saint,' says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “He's got the whole world in His hands.”~Traditional African American spiritual, first published in 1927SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 1:1-4 (ESV) 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Before we look at Luke 9 and Jesus feeding the multitude, I again want to ask for your prayers as next week I will be leaving for a Southeast Asian country with a multitude of people (over 1 billion), that are desperately hungry for the Word of God and need to be feed! I will be spending time with a national leader there who works with over 600 plus pastors. It is my goal and prayer to connect each of these pastors to a prayer partner here in the states that will take him into their heart and regularly intercede on his behalf.   Would you be willing to join me in this great ministry of prayer so that the multitudes in this Asian country can be feed the Truth of God's Word? Let me know by sending me an email at: pastormike@pmiministries.org Also if you would like to financially support this great opportunity, please go to my website: https://www.pmiministries.org/ Under the donate button you will see a place there to do that! Thanks in advance for all your prayers and support!   Now in Luke 9:11-17, we see that our Lord was not the kind of person who could teach the Word and then say to hungry people, "Depart in peace, be ye warm and filled" (James 2:16). The disciples were only too eager to see the crowd leave (Luke 18:15; see Matt. 15:23). They had not yet caught the compassion of Christ and the burden He had for the multitudes, but one day they would.   When you combine all four accounts of this miracle (Matthew 14:16-21; Mark 6:33-44; Luke 9:11-17; John 6:5-14), you find that Jesus first asked Philip where they could buy enough bread to feed such a great crowd. It is possible that this crowd was around 15,000 plus people with the women and children. Jesus was only testing Philip, "for He Himself knew what He was intending to do" (John 6:6). In the crisis hours of life, when your resources are low and your responsibilities are great, it is good to remember that God already has the problem solved.   Jesus started with what they had, a few loaves and fishes that were generously donated by a lad found by Andrew (John 6:8-9). Did Andrew know the boy? Or did the boy offer his little lunch without being asked? Before we ask God to do the impossible, let's start with the possible and give Him what we have. And while we are at it, let's give thanks for mothers who give their sons something to give to Jesus.   The Lord looked up to heaven, the source of our daily bread (Matt. 6:11), gave thanks, and blessed the food; and then He multiplied the few loaves and fishes. Jesus was the "producer" and His disciples were the "distributors." The amazing thing is that everybody was served and satisfied, and there were twelve baskets of leftovers, one for each of the disciples. Jesus takes good care of His servants.   This miracle was more than an act of mercy for hungry people, though that was important. It was also a sign of our Lord's messiahship and an illustration of God's gracious provision for man's salvation. The next day, Jesus preached a sermon on "The Bread of Life" and urged the people to receive Him just as they had received the bread (John 6:22-59). But the people were more interested in their stomachs than their souls, and completely missed the spiritual impact of the miracle. Their desire was to make Jesus King so He could give them bread for the rest of their lives! (John 6:14-15)   After Jesus returned to heaven, the disciples must often have been encouraged by remembering this miracle. We can learn many lessons from this miracle ourselves. It teaches us to have compassion, to look on problems as opportunities for God to work, and to give Him all that we have and trust Him to meet the needs. If we do all we can, He will step in and do the rest. Corrie Ten Boom said, "Let God's promises shine on your problems”.   Today, that is good counsel for us too.   God bless!

In this personal and anecdotal episode, I reflect on a recent car accident that changed my perspective on pain, resilience, and staying present. Drawing from my own experience of navigating physical injury, emotional turmoil, and life's unexpected disruptions, I want to share some valuable lessons on accepting pain and choosing who we want to be in the midst of it.Key TakeawaysPain is a Universal Experience: Everyone faces pain in various forms. Adjusting expectations helps to navigate life's inevitable challenges.Choosing Who to Be in Pain: While we can't control painful circumstances, we can choose our response and who we want to become in those moments.Faith and Resilience: God is present in our suffering, showing us how to lean into pain and live authentically.The Value of Lament: Acknowledging and naming our losses is essential. Lamenting is not about toxic positivity but about truthfully addressing the pain while moving forward.Staying Present: Focusing on the current moment can alleviate overwhelm and help manage pain one step at a time.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out the books I mentioned: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Are you wondering what is happening inside your own painful and confusing marriage?

Corrie Ten Boom once said, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." This Sunday, we look at Jesus' anticipated arrival through the eyes of a skeptic who didn't grow up going to church. His account helps us better understand an essential staple of our walk in Christ.

Jesus is telling them to love their enemies, do good to those who hate them, bless those who curse them, and pray for those who spitefully use them. When someone hits them on the face, don't hit back but turn their cheek and allow them to hit them again. When someone demands their coat, give them their shirt also, give to anyone who asks, and when things are taken away from them, don't fight or sue them to get them back. (vv. 27-38)   Basically, Jesus is teaching us, that true happiness and blessedness in life does not come from our circumstances, from people, from things, or even from ourselves (our success, our achievements, or even our good deeds), but it comes from our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is only by His grace, and by the control and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives that we can have the attitude and heart to do the things Jesus is describing above.   Jesus concludes this section in verses 37-38 by saying, “judge not, condemn not, forgive and give. Four things that sum up the attitude we should have toward people who offend, hurt, and abuse us. Two things we should not do and then two things we should do. Two negatives, don't, don't, and then two positives, do, do! Now these days we have been programed to dislike negative preaching in our churches and only want to hear the positive. But if we follow and study the Bible and God's way we must respond to the negative first.   This reminds me of the Ten Commandments, that are the basics of the Moral Law of God for our lives. The first three are negative: No other gods, no idols or images, no misuse or blasphemy of God's name. Then two positives: Keep the sabbath, honor your parents. Then five negatives: don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't lie, and don't covet. The negatives are needed to remind us that we are guilty of breaking God's law and His ways and pave the way for us to trust Him for mercy, grace, and forgiveness, and then for the strength and wisdom to do what we should do to please Him.   So, after the two negatives, don't judge, don't condemn, Jesus says to forgive and give. How do you know if you really have forgiven someone for their offence or abuse of you? (By the way, this does not mean that you don't hold them accountable for their actions. You report their abuse to the proper authorities and remove yourself from them and from further abuse.) At the same time, in your heart, and in your attitude, you turn it over to the Lord, and you also pray for God to deal with them by convicting them of their sin. You pray for their salvation.   When in your heart you forgive others for the hurt they have caused you, it will be evidenced by how you “give” them your prayers. True forgiveness is evidence of God's love at work in our hearts that allows us to be free to give. One of the most powerful illustrations of this kind of love and forgiveness is the story of Corrie Ten Boom. In September 1944, the Nazis deported Corrie and her sister, Betsie ten Boom to the Ravensbrück concentration camp for women in Germany.   Life at Ravensbrück was almost unbearable, as they were abused. But Betsie and Corrie spent their time sharing Jesus' love with their fellow prisoners.  Because of mistreatment Betsie died in Ravensbrück on 16th December 1944, aged 59. The last words she had spoken to Corrie before she died, were, “You must tell people what we have learned here. We must tell them that there is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still. They will listen to us Corrie, because we have been here.”   After the war, Corrie Ten Boom learned how to forgive those who had caused her so much pain and suffering. Please take the time to go the blogs on my website to read the rest of Corrie's story and also a great article I found on forgiveness.

What happens when life's challenges seem overwhelming, and self-care feels inadequate? Join Sarah Hanson as she recounts a particularly tough week marked by the loss of a cherished family cat, and the emotional task of breaking the news to her daughter Maggie, serving as a missionary far from home. With her husband's medical issues requiring a grueling visit to the Mayo Clinic, she finds solace in creative outlets like gardening and painting, yet still grapples with the delicate balance between self-care and spiritual growth. Listen in as she candidly shares her struggles and reflects on the moments where faith can feel both elusive and essential during trying times.As we navigate these personal stories, the conversation shifts to exploring faith's enduring strength when faced with doubt and adversity. Drawing parallels to the Israelites' journey through the desert, Sarah delves into the complexities of maintaining belief amidst life's struggles, where self-care provides comfort but can also distract from spiritual development. By sharing wisdom from personal experiences and biblical lessons, she aims to inspire you to traverse the valleys of doubt and emerge with a more profound faith. The episode challenges us to reassess the tangible comforts we cling to and consider the role of surrender in our spiritual lives.Community emerges as a cornerstone of resilience, offering vital support and connection beyond the confines of Sunday services. Fostering deeper relationships through small groups and social gatherings becomes a focus, reminding us of the importance of reaching out to one another. Inspired by stories of faith and endurance, such as Corrie Ten Boom's, this episode underscores the power of holding on to faith and each other. Together, we can find strength in unity and a shared trust in divine guidance, even during the darkest moments of our journeys.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

Psalm 55:22 "Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you." 1 Peter 5:7 Corrie Ten Boom

Send me a Text Message!Faced with the daunting challenge of a life-time (while probably still a teenager) Daniel resorted to prayer. He went back to his friends and asked them to pray.  Faced with an impossible situation, Daniel's first thing is to create time for prayer.  Corrie Ten Boom who survived a Nazi concentration camp, facing a variety of  impossible situations, once said, "When you face an impossible challenge in your life, if you look around you will be distressed. If you look within you will be  depressed. If you look up you will find rest."Daniel looks up. He knows that impossible situations require the God of the impossible. So Daniel made prayer his first thing. Is prayer your first thing?

Holocaust survivor Corrie Ten Boom had this to say about true biblical forgiveness. She said “forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me”. That is a great, all-purpose statement on forgiveness, but in the specific instance surrounding that quote, it was in relationship to the Nazi concentration camp guard who, after the war, approached her and told her he had gotten saved. That was stunning enough, but then he said, I am asking you to forgive me. Corrie froze, filled with justifiable hatred for the man who had killed her sister, and had almost killed her. What would you have done? On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are looking at some of the things that the Bible says will be present in the life any and every born again Christian who is doing their best to follow the Lord. One of those things is forgiveness, and the Bible is quite clear about what type of forgiveness that is. It is not a namby-pamby or wishy-washy type of forgiveness that you see out in the world. Rather, it is a biblical forgiveness based on how since God has forgiven you of your many trespasses against Him, a forgiveness made possible only by the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Corrie Ten Boom reached deep within herself to find the strength to forgive the Nazi guard, and came up quite empty. She had nothing but hate for him. But when she looked at it through the eyes of Jesus on the cross, when she looked into the scriptures, she found herself suddenly filled with a strength and a love that comes only from God, and she warmly and enthusiastically gave the man the right hand of Christian fellowship, looked him in the eyes and forgave him. We look at one of the hardest attributes to develop in the Christian life, forgiveness.

The more often you remember 'Love appearing as this', the more Love moves to the foreground, and 'this' moves to the background. The more you'll realize it was this Love you've been getting ready for, that you've been getting set for, this Love that's been here all along-- It's the staring point, the finish line, and the whole track. And if you can carry It today, and pour It, carry, and pour, It will become a steady flow, a steady flow, that carries you. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot! I'm writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice! I'll share #ListenerFavorite episodes until I return with new ones in Spring! Look out for announcements soon! Today's Quotes: "It's hard  to hear god's voice when you've already decided what you want Him to say." -Derricka Danielle via IG @therealsweetspot "Just as the hem of Jesus' garment flowed healing virtue, so even the borders of the inner kingdom flow with a glory impossible to describe- but very easy to experience. " -Abbot George Burke "The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God's realm where everything is possible.  He specializes in the impossible.  Nothing is too great for His almighty power.  Nothing is too small for His Love." -Corrie Ten Boom via IG @worshipblog "Your ego can only exist if you are tense. If you are relaxed existence is, you are not." -Osho "The blessing God has for is where He is and He is with you." -Derricka Danielle via IG @therealsweetspot "I found happiness because I desire nothing. It's a happiness I never knew existed. In the past, happiness was, 'Oh I bought a dress!' 'Oh I have this car!' It was all material things. Now I get up in the morning and meditate. Inside, a feeling of wellness where you're sitting there, just where you want to be. There's nothing you want. People think when you're on stage, that they are your glory days. The lights, the clothes... They were not my glory days. These, now, are my glory days." -Tina Turner "This is not about becoming a more Aware person than the person next to you. This is about realising you are not a person, there is no person next to you, and there is nothing other than Awareness." -Pat Nolan "Can't you see it's all perfect?" -Maharaji
