We are spiritual people. The world is not. We act in accordance with spiritual principles. What this really means is that we, as human beings, become last, not first. That is what Jesus meant when he said, “Those who go first will be last, and those who are last will be first.”
You have to develop great humility. Do not long for anything. Do not want to be rich, or famous or great, yet do not say “I want to be poor and have nothing” either. They are both wrong. Just be your Self when you are your Self, you will be amazed how the universe takes care of you.
You have got to depend on your Self (The Self is the Perfect Omniscient Love Within. I do not refer to your human self with all of its frailties, anger and bad habits) to take care of everything. Now, your Self is yourself.
There is one Self, so we take care of each other. Did you ever think of that? When you think of others, you are making a mistake. The feeling will come to you one day that you are all others. There are no ‘others’, there is just the Self, appearing as ‘others’.
So, how do you treat others? As you treat your self. You just give of yourself automatically. You don’t think about it. You don’t think that, that person is worth and that person is not, so I am going to help this person, not that person, you give of yourself automatically.
You do not think about it, because everything is your Self, and that includes the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom, the human kingdom, and everything else that you don’t understand.
They are all part of the One. What you do to the One, you do to everything. How you treat one person is how you treat the whole universe, because everything is One.
Q: Let us say we all stay here and we have no money. Tomorrow we are so hungry we cannot think of any of these ideas that you told us because we are so extremely hungry.
Your first premise is wrong. It does not work like that. I would never work like that. If you are hungry, something will happen to appease your hunger. What you are thinking about is that you sit down, and you do nothing. It does not work like that. When you know the Truth, somebody will knock on the door, and bring you food.
When you came to this earth, everything was predestined. And, everything is aware of how to take care of you, and what you are going to go through. But it has nothing to do with you – the secret is not to react – just do what has to be done. And you will do what has to be done. You can’t help it.
Does God manifest through allowing suffering?
“Quite the contrary! There is a difference between ‘knowing the Truth’, and just letting yourself be walked on! I am talking about Realization.”
Q: When I was a child Christmas was a huge event – so magical and warm. Then I decided as a young adult I did not believe in the commercialism. Now I feel somehow I am missing something.
If you want to see just commercialism, that is all you will see. If you want to see the devout, those thinking of God, that is what you will see. If you want to see happiness, innocence, that is what you will see. What are you looking for? So many people come up to me every year and complain of commercialism and such, yet they do not perceive that they are spoiling it for themselves.
