Saying, 'Be thou cast into the sea,' we will march on. Soldiers of Jesus! Never surrender!

Liberation is complete and such liberated beings are then Bodhisattvas and Buddhas: "enlightened ones," or "empty dwellers."

They are nothing but useful energy leading to liberation for all beings still caught in conditioned existence.

• If you feel you can't forgive, ask God to penetrate your unforgiveness with His love.

This means that certain things will not be accomplished by human strength, but only by the power of God. The Holy Spirit will enable us to forgive even the unforgivable.
