“You are here because this existence needs you as you are! Otherwise, somebody else would have been here. You are fulfilling something very essential, something very fundamental, as you are.
Why should you become a Buddha? If God had wanted another Buddha he could have produced as many Buddhas as he wanted. He produced only one Buddha, and that was enough. Since then he has not produced another Buddha or another Christ. He has created you instead. Just think of the respect the universe has given to you! You have been chosen — not Buddha, not Christ, not Krishna.
Their work is done, they have contributed their fragrance to existence. Now you are here to contribute your fragrance.
Just look at yourself. You can be only yourself … there is no possibility that you can be anybody else. You can enjoy it and bloom, or you can wither away if you condemn it.
You can be no one but who you are. So relax! Existence needs you as you are.”
