Each Enlightened Master Has Their Own Incredible Way
To Deliver Sentient Beings

　The most important thing for you, is not to look at me to see what I'm doing - whether I'm good or bad - but to see yourself, whether you're truly, sincerely wanting to know your power or not. If you do, you will know it. If you don't, doesn't matter how good I am. Even if I'm God, doesn't matter. The most important thing is you, not me.

　Even if I am God incarnated, I can't help you if you are full of garbage, full of doubts, full of serious mental complications. If you don't want to know how great you are, if you keep doubting me, that means you have forgotten to try to realize how great you are, what kind of power you have. As soon as you focus on anyone else, good or bad, you forget yourself. You forget to concentrate inside and to find your home. That's a problem with you, not me.

　That's why Buddha came, Jesus came, Mohammed came, Socrates. Every great master has graced our earth, but how many people were enlightened in their lifetimes? Less than we have now; less than I have, you know, disciples. They had less than I have. Why? Not because they were not good, not because they didn't have power; it was the people themselves who were limited, who obstructed themselves with their own mental garbage.

　So, don't look at me. Don't tell me I'm good or bad. Don't criticize what I'm doing. Okay if I'm bad; but that's none of your business, because your business is to find out how great you are. If you ever doubt me, that I have the power to take you home or not - that you may have - but then find another master quickly before you die. It's none of my business whether you stay with me or not. If you believe me, you stay. If you don't, go find another master, similar one, better one or whatever you like; but do it quickly before you die without enlightenment.

　Every master has different things. If they don't dress up nicely, then they have cars, or they have wives, or they have children. Everyone has something for you to doubt. If you want to dig up the garbage in their toilets, there's always something for you to dig up. If you really just put your nose in such toilet places, all you will find are toilets. That's no problem, I assure you; but that is not the main point in the house. That's not the main focus of any master.

　Every master has their own way to help people. The Buddha said that there are eighty-four thousand methods of helping sentient beings, including being their wives, their officers, the head of state, a princess, a beggar, even the slave for that person in order to help him, her or that family; and also being co-workers, being the same. Like, whatever you do, I do, to help you, to have the same ideal as you; so later to make you see the light. First, I must win your confidence. For example, doing the same work as you, wearing the same dress, acting in the same way, perhaps; but all the way, I am different inside. I know that, even if you don't know. My purpose is very clear. Even whatever I do with you, I am not with you in that sense. Therefore, that's one of the methods that Buddhas use.

Have Confidence In Yourself

　You, the ones who meditate so little, the ones who have no faith in your great Self and your fortune to meet a living master, you have so much degradation for yourselves. You've so little respect for yourselves that you think you'd never have the fortune to meet a living master. That's why you doubt me! You understand what I mean? You don't doubt me, you doubt yourselves that you are so little, you are so sinful, so ugly, that you could never meet a true living master. You could not meet a true living master, a good one, a loving one, a compassionate one. It's you! You have no confidence, no faith in yourselves. You understand what I mean? It's you! Look at yourselves, if you think you deserve a living master, then you know me. If you don't, God can't help you, Buddha can't help you. You'll transmigrate again and again and again, and it's no one's fault.

　Make sure you really want my help, make sure you want it. I can die for you, but make sure you want it. Make sure you really want to know your greatness. Make sure you really want to know God, then I could die for you.

　I told you I could die for you and I meant it! This life of the physical body, doesn't matter how good it looks to you, means nothing to me, absolutely, if it comes to your liberation and your happiness. I swear to God that I would die for you, anytime, if you truly need it! I more than die for you everyday. I tell you, the death of the body is no suffering. It is the mental anguish that you impose upon me. This is more than death.

Wake Up Before It's Too Late

　I don't mean to complain to you. I must tell you the truth, so that you wake up. Wake up now before it is too late. I'm anguished, I'm suffering because I know your trouble, I can't help. I want you to be happy, but you always make trouble for yourselves and make me suffer for nothing. If you see any fault in my teaching, if I ever teach you anything bad, harmful to yourself and to mankind, leave me immediately; don't have to hang around.

　I never bind anyone. I never said, "You must stay with me forever." Did I? So, if you stay, make sure you know what you want because I know what I want. I only want to help you, unconditionally. Whether you help me or not help me to help other people is your business. The more you help, the more your love expands and the higher the level of your consciousness, that's all. It's good for you. Otherwise, you cannot damage me anyhow.

　Money, I can always earn; reputation, well, mine is already bad and good - up and down. It depends on who looks at me; depends on whether that is a dog looking at me, a cat looking at me, a human being looking at me, an angel who looks at me, or Buddha looks at me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's the same with spiritual understanding also. If you're beautiful inside, you see me beautiful. If you are high level, you know I am high. If you are not, doesn't matter how much I advertise myself, it's no good.

Remember The Vow You Made In Heaven

　I'm never short of money; because God entitled me to have so much money through different ways, through different talents to do my work on earth. It's only a pity when you, yourself, don't help. You don't get the merit, not me. And the people who don't know us also, they're lost in the sea of suffering. You don't help me, no one helps them.

　You can never really damage my work, even if you've finished all my money, even finished everything, all my reputation and everything. I still don't lose anything because I never wanted to gain anything in the beginning. I will never hurt myself, or you will never hurt me. It's just that you have not fulfilled your promise before the Father, before you came to this world to do the work. You have forgotten. You let this ego interfere. You let the people, the preconceived ideas, make trouble for you and you lose the good opportunity for many decades.

　You must have the courage of a mighty soul to say what is true, whether you die for it or you live with it. If you are a coward, if you are a hesitating person, who can help you? And who will help me? If you had helped me, we could have conquered the world in these ten years.

　But never mind, as long as you help yourselves, that's all I want. Even if you don't help me, you must know what you want from me. Then, I can give you accordingly. Only when you know what you want, and ask for it, then I can give. Even a good thing, you can't force it on people.
