Selected Questions and Answers

Q: How can I be motivated and be happy to live in this society? Because inside me, I want to run away and just focus on You. But then I tell myself that I have to be like You, to be strong and to survive in this society and also maintain my spiritual practice.

M: Yes, that’s right. That will make you strong. How old are you? (Q: I am 22.) Only 22! You have a lot to do. Don’t worry; just keep going.

Q: Thank You for Your blessing. I know that You are with me.

M: You look so young and beautiful. Stay out there and make a shining example. If everyone comes and follows me or hides in the mountain, no one will know anything else. You have to be my eyes, my ears, my hands, my blessings extended, my love, my example. If people see you, they see me, and they follow you. That’s the way we bless the world. That’s why we practice.

Q: Thank You.

M: You are welcome. I’m not running away anywhere. It’s just that there are times when Heaven says No. At that time, I have to do something else, spiritually. Sometimes it looks like materially, but it’s also spiritually. At different times, I do different things. We are not running anywhere at all. If we run, then we run up there, to Heaven, at the last minute! (Master laughs) We are not running anywhere; we stay here.

Q: And be strong.

M: Yes, be strong, because all this work and all these challenges make you more intelligent. And all the suffering sometimes makes you more compassionate. Everything is good for us. If not, then at least we clean the karma, our karma. I mean, your karma. (Everyone laughs) OK, our karma; we’re together, as accomplices, right? Alright, love! Don’t worry. (Q: I love You.) You’re doing fine. I love you, too. I am so proud of you guys, especially the young ones. It’s very difficult. In this society, there are so many temptations. And you’re young and vulnerable to all kinds of attack and all kinds of seduction, and yet you still go on being vegetarian and non-violent, keeping the Precepts and meditating as much as possible. That’s very fantastic! I am very proud of you. Don’t worry, you are fine.

Q: I am so proud to have You as my Master.

M: Many things I do, you’d be very proud! (Laughter) But I don’t tell you. Because mostly I do it quietly, similar to the things that you are doing. Over the years, and this year, there are so many disasters and all. I am so proud of you; I am very pleased that all of you around the world have been extending my love to every corner that needs it. We do the best we can to comfort the living and to save the dead, or their souls; it is important that the soul is saved, not the body. If we can save the body, we do that as well. But if not, more importantly is the soul. When the soul leaves the body, we take care. That’s more important than even giving aid. But we do both.

That’s the best way. I cannot think of anything else better to give to the society than what we are doing. We help spiritually, silently or quietly, with books, with tapes, with talks, with your beautiful energy, and we give also material aid. I don’t think we can do any better than that. I don’t think anyone or any group on this planet could do better than what we do. So I’m very proud of you. And I thank you also, all of you out there (Master looks directly into the camera and gestures to indicate all practitioners in the world), for being a good example.

Q: Thank You, Master.

M: We have Home to go to anyway. That’s the thing. We just sojourn here for a while. For most of us, it doesn’t take long, right? (Q: Yes.) No, you’re still young. You stay here! For you it’s not that quick. But quick or not quick, it is the same. A few years more, a few years less, and we’re done. And then, we leave the legacy behind us. After we leave the world, after we leave this planet, we don’t leave the physical body here, but we leave a beautiful spiritual inheritance for our next generations. That’s the best gift we can give to the planet. Many people don’t appreciate it, but we don’t do it for appreciation. Just like when we help with the physical disaster, we don’t ask for anything in return. It’s the same.
