So, any more questions, by the way? You have any questions? Yes? No? Really? OK, don’t… (Too many.) Too many? Then just start with one or two at least. (They’re not coming to me. They’re just floating around.) All gone? (I’m just enjoying the state of mind.) OK, good, good, good. Sometimes like that, sometimes we have a lot of questions, and when we come to the presence of the people who’re supposed to answer, we’re just blank. Right? Most people are like that. And that is good also. Also good. That means we’re better. We are above the rattling, “rattle box,” not at the “chatter box” dimension. We care not what’s right ‒ whether it’s right, whether it’s not. We just enjoy the inner quietness.
The experiences come in many different shapes, because we can’t just make a list out of it. So, we just tell you kind of (inner Heavenly) Light and (inner Heavenly) Sound and things like that. But there are many things that you experience in your daily life. Every day is a miracle since initiation. So take care that you notice it when the Angel comes and goes all the time. Every day is a miracle. Everything you wish for will come when it’s truly good for you and at the proper time. Don’t you know that? You do? (Yes.) Yes. (Yes.) Experience could be that you are more loving than before. You are less critical of other people, and you love yourself even more. Not that selfish, just that you know you’re OK. You are at ease with yourself, and that’s the most difficult stage to achieve. Also, you overcome many of your anxieties, your anger, your frustration. And even if you still do have them, they are minimized to a very small degree. Deep down in yourself, even though you want to play the spoilt child, but just deep down you still know, “Ah, that’s nothing. I can handle that. I can put up with that.” Is that not so? (Yes.)
Do you understand English or not? (Yes.) Yes? (Yes.) (No problem.) How come you’re so quiet? (Because we listen.) Listen? But when I ask, you don’t have to listen. You should talk when you must and don’t when you should shut up. You always do the opposite. When I want you to shut up, you talk. When I want you to talk, you shut up. Why? OK. It comes in many forms. Are you busy? Anyone want to leave? Am I too late? What time is it? (Nine o’clock.) (Nine.) Should I go now? Is it time to go? (No.) Too early? (No.) No? OK. Well, I still have to take care of my family, but that comes later.
Now, it comes in many forms, like you’re more loving, you’re more forgiving, you’re more intelligent. Of course, you’re less critical, you’re less irritated, you’re stronger in mental and physical ability, you’re more enduring, and you’re quicker in action. But that’s not when you’re in samadhi and that’s not when you’re around me. That I examined. When you’re around me, you’re kind of… Most of you don’t know what to do. I don’t know why. Am I so scary? (No.) No, then why? (We just love.) What? (We just love You so much, that we forget everything.) That’s crazy. Is that true, when you love somebody, you forget everything? (Yes.) No? (You dropped something.) It’s for you. You deserve it, instead of a stone, a tomato.
I don’t know that kind of crazy love. Don’t make excuses. But actually, it’s true. That’s what you tell me. (“Master-mania,” I call it.) What does that mean? (Your energy is so high,) Is that right? ([that] when they are around You, they forget their thoughts.) Oh, really? How come somebody told me yesterday that he felt nothing when he was around me? The very mundane person. (Who was that?) The guy who was not initiated, he said he is the most mundane person, he felt he is, and then so he wanted to come to the most Holy person to see how he feels. And then he felt nothing. He felt nothing holy about me. So I said, “I feel nothing mundane about you either.” Oh, what do you want me to do in that case? It’s so cute. Yes, some people are getting kind of dizzy. I used to feel like that in the early days, but no more. Now if I see the Buddha, I probably won’t know who He is. Even if God comes down, I’d probably just say hallo and then goodbye.
Yes, we become used to everything, just like higher energies or higher (inner Heavenly) Light. Some people see like the way you see, they’re shaken. Or when they hear the (inner Heavenly) Sound, they’re like this. No? You know? Oh, you know? (Yes.) Yes, you must notice. Or maybe another time when people are initiated – but you are already initiated – and when you see some initiated people, you will see them... (Yes.) They couldn’t control themselves. And even now, sometimes they are initiated about a few months, a few years, they still couldn’t stand the energy. Maybe you’re too strong, stronger than (inner Heavenly) Light. Well, you should be proud. You should not ask for feeling. It’s only an emotional level. Whatever we feel even, it’s still physical. We should be above physical feeling, emotional feeling, and that’s good for us.
And when sometimes you meditate, you see nothing, you see black, don’t be despaired. Maybe you’re on the Fourth Level. That’s a joke. Everybody knows that by now. I’m sorry, honey. It’s alright? I just take it and then… (It’s fine.) OK. So, there’s nothing to worry about. (That’s right.) Either you’re on the Fourth Level or you’re too strong for the (inner Heavenly) Light to make you feel anything. So, you should feel proud. Yes, yes. Just sometimes after initiation, some people feel shaken every time they meditate because the (inner Heavenly) Light is too strong for them, or the (inner Heavenly) Light is too blinding. And then after some time, they get used to it. And they tell me how come they don’t have the same feeling now. They fell down to the First Level, or something like that. I say, “No, you’re just used to it.”
And some people practiced for many lifetimes before, and they got to a certain stage of consciousness already, and they’re just reborn again because they have not been liberated last time. Or maybe they didn’t want to be liberated for some reason. So, when they came back, they’re used to it also. There are many occasions, many situations. So it’s not a mono big deal, we’re not in a business that we stay here and calculate gain or loss, how much I gain when I put out that much. The most important thing in this life, in our practice principle, is loving ‒ loving others, loving ourselves, be liberated from all hatred, prejudices, criticizing attitude, and negative thinking. And once you’re already liberated in this lifetime, you surely go to a higher level, because these are the negative things, the burden that binds us to this physical world, or in the Three Worlds. If we have none of that, we are liberated while living. That’s most important, not vision or not (inner Heavenly) Sound. These are only the food for our well-being.
And I’ll tell you something also: when you’re too sick, also, the medicine doesn’t have an effect on you. Maybe you’re too well, the medicine doesn’t have an effect on you. You don’t feel much. When you’re too sick, you’re numb. Even though the medicine is there, you don’t feel it. And it takes a longer time for you to recover. So, any situation at all, just go on with your practice, because that’s all you get, and that’s the best thing I could give you after all the methods, all the paths that I have tried. This is the best thing I have found. So I offer it to you, free of charge, free of obligation, no demand, nothing. So, you try it.
So, fruit time. Fruit time or what? It’s so hard. Can you eat that? (Yes, it’s good.) Really? Is it good? You eat? (Some people do.) What, honey? (Some people do.) Oh, yes. (This one’s soft.) With the… No, I don’t want to eat it. With the skin better or without? (Without.) (Skin.) Either, huh? OK. So now, [does] anybody want fruit? (Yes.) OK. Thank you very much. I also want some. You agree with me. That’s fine. Here. Like beggars. You cannot take it yourself? (We have three, four boxes of fruit, so everybody can get one bag, Master.) One bag? (We have three, four boxes.) Three, four boxes. Each one, one bag. (Right.) And how about this? (Whatever fruit they want.) OK. If you don’t have any questions, I just give you fruit. If you have, you continue asking me. Here. How many are you today? Over a hundred? (Over a hundred.)
OK. I think we have to buy a house quick. I mean, buy a bigger land. (Montgomery County.) What, honey? (Montgomery County.) (Less expensive.) Yeah? Montgomery. You say, you say into the microphone. Because I don’t know the land, you have to tell us so everybody knows, they can look. Microphone? Where is it? You say it on the microphone, so people know. I don’t know this land. (Buy in Montgomery County.) Yeah? (It’s less expensive, it’s lovely, it’s forested.) Oh yeah. Really? (Yes, really.) (We had dinner there. We tried our dinner there.) (That really is the truth…) Is it far from here? (No, it’s about an hour from here. It’s where we live.) Oh, is that right? It’s where you live. That’s why. Is it convenient for everyone? (It doesn’t matter as long as we have found a place, we go there.) She said there is inexpensive, beautiful, big, forest. (But as long as it doesn’t cost too much money.) Mon-mon-mon-mon, money? What-what-what, what is that? (I said as long as it doesn’t cost too much money.) Long, long, long what? What did-did-did she say? What’s that long, long, long? What is it? (I said as long as it doesn’t cost too much money.) Ah, so long as it doesn’t cost too much money. I said don’t-don’t-don’t-don’t-don’t. I don’t know what she’s talking about. My God. That’s the most broken English I ever heard. (You stopped me, Master.) Huh? (You stopped me. I couldn’t even say another word.) What did I do-do-do to you? I-I-I don’t-don’t-don’t-don’t-don’t say anything.
I’ll tell you a joke. Yes, you eat-eat-eat right now, before it’s cold. Come. Eat when it’s hot. Moses doesn’t need it. He is big enough. Last night he ate a double portion, enough for two days. Now each one gets what he gets and don’t give it to the neighbor. Now, I’ll tell you a joke. This is not from me, but it’s just right for the occasion. There was a guy. He went on a train. He went to sit on a train to go somewhere. And then he sat next to a guy, any guy. I’m sorry, honey. It’s a mistake. So he sat next to a guy, and they both read newspapers. OK. Fine. And then about half an hour or 15 minutes later, another guy came up, came up to their wagon, and sat next to this guy, and another guy was reading newspaper. And then he asked the man next to him. Two guys sit like this. And the third one comes and sits like this. My English is not so good, so I have to show it to you like this.
So this guy asked this guy, the newcomer asked the newspaper reading guy, “Excuse me. Do-do-do-do you know what-what-what-what, what-what-what time-time- time-time it-it-it-it-it is nah-nah-nah now?” So, the guy did not answer him. Then, the guy did not answer him. And then the man asked again, “Ex-ex-ex-ex- cuse-cuse-cuse-cuse me. Wha-what-what-time it-it-it is nah-nah-nah now?” And the man also didn’t answer him again. And then that man asked the third time again, and the man also didn’t answer him. So, this man felt kind of embarrassed, the newcomer. So, he left the wagon. He went to the next one, probably to-to-to as-ask what-what-what time. And then the one that sat next to the person who was being asked all the time, reading newspaper with him all the while, and was very angry with that guy and said, “You are deaf, or you’re dumb, or you are impolite, you’re rude. People asked you three times, and you never answered. Why? What’s wrong with you?” And the guy slowly put down his newspaper and said, “I-I-I’m a-a-fraid he-he-he-he will-will-will-will mis-mis- mis-under-der-der-stand me. He-he-he might think, I-I-I make-make-make fun-fun-fun of him.”
