M: It depends on what you do. It depends on whether you want it to change quickly or not. If you want it quick, it will be quick. If you want it slow, it will be slow.

Q:If it’s quick, does it mean one’s responsibilities in this world are finished quickly?

M: Don’t rush. Just do it the way you’re doing now; that’s fine. And then if you really want it quick, things will happen. What I mean is, sometimes we’re in a hurry and we want to do things quickly so that we can go Home. But it’s OK; Home is always there. Don’t worry; just take it easy. That’s better. If it’s too quick you’ll be too tired. You won’t have the time and energy to survive and meditate. So just let it be the way it is.

But some people want it to be very quick; they want to progress quickly and they want to pay off their karma fast. So, things will be arranged for them if they sincerely want it so. But I advise you not to want too much. Just meditate, and let things take their own natural course. That’s better. Otherwise, all hell will break loose, if you want it fast.

Sometimes you work for the community or you work for the Master, and then it also goes quickly, automatically. But you have to do it with a sense of devotion and selfless sacrifice, not with a desire for something in return. Even wanting to cleanse your karma quickly or wanting to progress quickly is also a kind of business. But you can desire that, if you want to. It’s just the mind talking. The soul still does what it has to do, and the Master still has to arrange what He or She has to arrange for our good.
