human QUESTIONS & ANSWERSQ. Master, how long have human beings been on this earth?
M.Wow! I have to count with my fingers. (Laughter.) Do you knowhow long? What for do we know how long? It's enough to work everyday!It's been a long, long, long time. Some have reincarnated. Somehave been liberated. Some come back again and again. So if youwant to count this, it's difficult. You can say, aeons has past.
..... Q. For what purpose has mankind been created in thislife form? Is there any human-like life in another planet in theuniverse?
M.Yes. There are human lives in other universe, in other planet.And for what purpose? I don't know. That you have to ask the Creatorwhen you go up there. I never ask Him why, cause I don't ask manyquestions. I am kind of a quiet person. (Master laughs) Okay.
..... Q. Why are we born man or woman?
M. Why we are born as man or woman? Becausewe like it that way. Yeah, the men all like women. No? And thewomen all like men. No? That's why we have man and woman. It'sto fulfill your desire. Okay? As long as you have no more desirefor man and woman, you will be born in the land where there isno difference between man and woman. In the Kingdom of God thereis no man, no woman. In the Buddhist scriptures it says also thatin the western paradise, Amitabha Buddha (an enlightened being)has no men, no women. Okay, but we are happy with it. In thisstage we couldn't imagine that. No man, no woman would be boring.No, no it's not boring. I shouldn't have told you this. No? Youmight not want to go there. Still want to go, to go back home?No man, no woman is okay? We have other happiness, other blissfulness.Yes. Because we do not know other kinds of bliss we think onlyman and woman can have happiness together. No, no, there are thousandsof times more happiness than that. It's just like when we area baby we can't think of anything better than milk. But when wegrow up we have other things, nicer, tastier. We see things differently.We enjoy life in different ways. So to be enlightened is to growup spiritually. We can see larger, longer distances. We know manymore things. We enjoy different kinds of happiness.
..... Q. Is it possible to be fully divine and fully humanat the same time?
M.Yes, a fully divine person is a fully human being. A fully humanbeing is a fully divine person. Now we are only half human. Wedo things with hesitation, with ego, and do not believe that Godarranged everything for our own enjoyment and experience. We separatesins and virtues. We make a big deal out of everything, and accordinglyjudge ourselves and other people, and accordingly suffer by ourown limitation about what God should do.
Actually God is inside of us and we limit Him.We like to enjoy ourselves, but we don't know. We say to ourselves"I shouldn't do that," But why be vegetarian? Simplybecause the God inside us wants it. It is against our principleof not wanting to be killed. We ourselves do not want to be killedor have our property stolen. Now, if we do those things to otherbeings, it means that we go against ourselves, and this makesus suffer. You shouldn't beat yourself or starve yourself, forexample. It is the same thing with killing. We shouldn't kill,because it is against the principle of life, and it makes us suffer,so we don't do it. It doesn't mean that we limit ourselves thatway. It means that we expand our life to all kinds of lives, notjust to human beings but also to animals. Our life won't be limitedto this body but also extended to all the animals, and all kindsof beings. This will make us great and regain our grandeur.
..... Q. Master, Yousay we are all God's children and there is only one God. So whydo we have different colors and different races? Every one isnot equal, just like You and me.
M. Look at the flowers, you want themonly one color? Pink, finish. Is that what you call beauty? Pink,one color, one and only. We have many colors, that's why it'sfun, Okay? You like it. That's why you choose to be born in thatcolor. But now you don't understand. Get enlightenment, and thenyou'll understand why. But you are also right. The question isalso correct because the higher dimensions don't have difference,no difference between male and female, no different colors. Thereis only pure awareness, pure wisdom, not even such a visible form.
..... Q. Why and how are we separated from God?
M.Because we feel the separation. Because we think with the mind,we think we are separated. But never, ever we are separated. Ifyou take the mind away, we are one with God. That's why I toldyou to meditate and go above this computer in order to be abovethe water and one with God again. As we always are and alwayswill be and always have been. It's the cup (Master picked up thecup on the table) that separate the water inside and the riverwater. Even though you just take it from the river but it's insidethe cup. And once you break the cup, you know the water is thesame. Or you don't worry about the cup, you know, you go outsidebeyond the cup and you'll always the river water that has justbeen taken. But that's just an example. The cup has never existed.It's always illusion. And the illusion is the most terrible magicthat control the three worlds. Let's why nobody can escape. Let'swhy I tell you don't bother to learn magic. It's magical enoughin this world. Just look at yourself and you'll know what magicis like. All you have to learn is break away the spell, not tolearn more garbage from magic.
..... Q. Why did a separation take place from God?
M.Yes, I have told you. It is because we are too busy. If someoneis talking to you on the telephone, and the telephone keeps ringing,and you are cooking and busy chatting with other people, thenthat person cannot get in touch with you. Is that right? It'sthe same thing with God, God is telephoning every day, every minute,and you have no time for Him. You keep Him hanging on the line.That's how the separation takes place. Now if you want to be unitedwith Him again, then take the time. Give Him one tenth of yourdaily time to communicate with Him. Surely you will get no moreseparation.
..... Q. Why were we all separated from the Word, or Nam,or Buddha, or God nature in the beginning?
M.I tell you we have never been separated. We are in there. We haveit inside, outside, inside or upside down. We all have God andBuddha nature. It's just that we are too busy. We bind ourselvesto worldly obligations and jobs, so we do not know where God is.For example, sometimes you have your glasses in your pocket, youreyeglasses, and then you go around looking for them. Is it notso? Yeah. Similarly like that, if we are too busy we forget manythings, or sometimes we are too busy that even our loved onescome and we don't see them. Is it not so? And we have the televisionon, and then we are too busy. We are thinking of something elseso we don't even see what they're acting, or we are talking tothe next person and we don't know what the television show isall about. Is it not so? That is the truth. So, when we have Godinside and we have no time for Him, then it's no doubt that wedon't see Him. That's it! Now I can unite you again with thisWord or with God. So, we don't need to ask why, but how to beunited again.
..... Q. Why do we live in a time so fullof disharmony and problems? What is mankind's future?
M. Why do we live in this time? Because wechoose to live in this time, because we haven't corrected ourway of life in the past. But we can correct it from today, andin the future we don't have to live in this kind of disharmoniousworld anymore. It is still not late, not yet the end of the world.If you believe in the end of the world then correct it quicklytoday, and then escape it. I have the way. I'll show you. I'llshow you at the initiation, how to escape. We escape into theKingdom of God. We don't need to move our house or move the body.We have a metaphysical way to move out of trouble, and it's verysafe, very quick. Any instant, we can move in. I will show you!
..... Q. From the first being, the vegetablearose, then following, the first animal. They grew up separately.Do You think that one day we will go back to unite to the vegetablesand animals in the future?
M. No! No! Our tendency is to go upward, backto the Kingdom of God where we came from in the first place. Yes,when we go upward sometimes we fall down. Maybe so, that we maybecome an animal again for one, two, three, four lives. But thenlater we go back up again. There is no union with vegetable lifeagain. We might be, just for a short while, but not back foreverin that stage. It is like when we climb up the hill, sometimeswe miss our feet and roll down again for a while. But then weclimb up again, because we want to go to the top. Okay?
..... Q. In the world now are five billionhumans. Will all of us go back home, be saved one day?
M. Go back home, be saved one day? It willtake a long time, take a long time. No one listens to the messengerof God. I mean avery, very few people do. Very few want to go home. They attachto this material world and the enjoyments of this illusion. Theydon't believe there is anything else besides this.
..... Q. What is the hope for mankind?
M. Enlightenment, this method. Back to unionwith God, united with God. Yeah, okay, that's the only hope forus. That's the only hope for us.
