Page 5How Dictators Emerge? Q. Dear Maser, please explain what kind of karma itis when there were dictators like Hitler, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh,who caused the wars that killed millions of people, and made millionsof others suffer.
M.That is a collective karma of mankind which, as I told you, areby-products of the inter-relationships between humans and otherbeings in this world or other worlds. And those kinds of by-productsbecame a kind of very forceful strong energy hanging around ourearth's atmosphere. And when it is too condensed, then it hasto manifest into some kind of visible, such as a very great dictatorwho kills millions, etc. As you have asked, so therefore, thesepeople are not to be blamed also, in a sense. But, ourselves areto be blamed. If each one of us leads a life of virtues, keepsthe commandments, and refrain from killing of any kind - includingthe indirect killing, so keeping the vegetarian diet - and theworld would never have bred these kinds of dictators in the firstplace. These are there to remind us of the virtuous way, and ifwe are not awakened yet, then these things will continue to remindus until the whole mankind is awakened.
How To Eradicate Anger? Q. What is anger? Why does it boil inside us? And howdo we release this anger?
M.Sometimes it helps to release it outwardly. Sometimes betweenhusband and wife or men or parents and children there exists somekind of tension. And after you have cleared it together, you clearthe air, it's also helpful. Whatever comes naturally, just letit be. If you cannot control it or you cannot control it completely,just try not to bear hatred in it. Just express what you feel,express it in as best manner as you can okay?! Because sometimesanger, when swallowed too much of the time will breed diseasewithin the body.
So the best is that, first we have the virtuesof God, and then other passions like anger, greed, attachment,will subside by and by.
Q. You say only human beings can become a Buddha. Iwant to know if when a disciple passes away and he is on the 4thlevel, does he need to come back to this world to be a human beingand after that to study until he becomes a Buddha?
M.Oh, no, he doesn't have to. He studies from there. The Masterwill continue to teach the disciple and never leave the discipleuntil the disciple completely realize himself, hm!
Q. You said You denounce immorality. What is meant bysexual misconduct? Is that wrong?
M.I do not denounce anything. I just propagate correct way of life.And you are free to follow it, okay?! I do not denounce anything.If you feel that is a denouncement, it's not true. Just that yougo into the wrong direction. Now you should go back to the rightone, if you want to arrive at your destination which is the Kingdomof God. Too much sexual abuse and indulgence tires your body,exhausts your mental power which should be conserved for the greatestenlightenment, and to help yourself and to help mankind. It'smore noble that way. That's all, yeah. Sexual misconduct meansyou have too many girl friends, too many boy friends, too manyhusbands and wives. It exhausts your storehouse of energy, okay?!
Q. How do You suggest that a person go about attainingenlightenment when that person lives in extreme and almost constantpain.
M.There are many drugs that help you with pain these days. You donot have to endure that. Medicine, you can take in order to preventthe pain. And then when you are calm and peaceful, then you canmeditate.
Q. Please let us know if God, the comforter that Godsent, the spirit of truth, is only one comforter or a few comforters?If there are a few, please let us know how many?
M.You want to shop, uh, shopping for enlightenment! (Laughter.)One is enough for you, right now, okay?! Because even if thereare a few, who knows if they will come to you and when, and whetheryou are still alive when the other comforters come, understand?Okay?
Q. Oh, Master, I have a hard time meditating becausemy head hurts when I start to meditate. Please tell me how tostop the headaches?
M.Maybe you try too much. You should not have any effort, yeah.But I don't know what kind of method you study, so it's difficultto tell you. But whatever you do, relax, yeah. Just do it justlike you are mowing a lawn or eating the breakfast. No need toput strain on your brain for concentration. In our method we doit without effort. We just sit there and the light comes. Therefore,it is better.
Q. What does it mean when some people are absent-mindedwhen someone talks to them, and they just don't react, or theyinstantly forget what you've just said. Is it because they'retoo mental or they use their mind too much?
M.How do I know? You ask them?!
Q. Dear Master, when You die where does your soul goand what happens to your energy and karma?
M.Me or anyone? (Q. It says when You die.) I'll tell you after I die,okay?! (Laughter & applause.) It's too early. I mean I amstill very young.
Heavy Karma Incurred In Meat Eating Q. If after being initiated and I still make a mistakelike eating meat or having an evil thought, does it mean thatI'll be disconnected from God or suffer some bad punishment?
M.Evil thought, you might not be able to control it immediatelyafter enlightenment, because it's just like the car brake, yousee. When the car runs sixty miles an hour, and if you want tobrake it, do it slowly, yeah. So, it'll probably take some timeto be able to purify completely yourself. But the meat you canavoid it, yeah, except when you don't know it and you eat it bymistake, then that's fine. But you have to meditate more on thatday to clean that, because that is a very heavy karma. That'swhat makes people ill, what makes our body suffer, and what makesus go to hell afterward to repay for the suffering of other beings.
Q. Dear Master, I sincerely thank You for the lecturetoday. I wish that You take care of Your health, so that You cancontinue to give lectures for the rest of the world, and savepeople who have the sincerity to find the way back to God's home.Thank You again. Please take care of Yourself.
M.Thank you, thank you. God takes care of me. You take care of me.Because you have love for me, you have good thoughts for me, youhave loving wishes for me, therefore you take care of me. I can'ttake care of myself. I just flow with the water. Wherever thereis demand, I just have to fulfill it. I have no time or actuallyno very fixed schedule to say that I can take care of myself.Never mind, I am okay. I work hard and I am alright.
Q. This question is about discipline. I find that Iam very devoted to trying new techniques for a period of time.When I do not see results or when I get too busy or too tired,I just give up, I don't stay with the discipline. How can I pushthrough my weakness and continue with daily routine and mastery?
M.Ah, of course if you have a method and it doesn't work very well,and also maybe you do not follow the practice regularly and diligentlyand sincerely, then, you lose your faith, yeah. So, try to dowhat is instructed, and then your faith will grow more with theresults. Of course if you don't have results, you don't have faith,and the less faith you have, the less results. So, you'll be inthe circle.
Awaken The Primitive Force Of TheUniverse Q. Master, sometimes during meditation with the ConvenientMethod, I feel a chill from my spine going up to my head, andthen there seems to be a feeling of energy encircling in my head.What does this mean? Is this a bad or good sign?
M.It's okay. It's your kundalini at work. Afterward you'll be usedto it. It's only a Convenient Method, and still it works all somuch, because of the master power blessing you. Other people theypractice many years to try to awaken the kundalini, and they can'tdo it.
Q. Did Jacob receive bad karma for tricking Isaac intogiving him the blessing? Did Benjamin receive bad karma for trickinghis brothers into bringing his father to Egypt?
M.Oh, he talks about Bible?
Q. Ah, the Old Testament.
M.Oh, what do we know about these people? Why do we care? They areall gone, yes. (Laughter & applause.) I think we have enoughwork to do with our own. Okay. That's it? I am relieved? Ah, fine.Thank you for your attention.
