Just like a married couple comes to a Master and then says, “Oh, Master, our marriage is in so much trouble. Please help us. Can You tell us if it’s really worth it? Should we continue?” The Master says, “Don’t worry, I guarantee everything will be better in the future. You will feel better soon.” So the husband thinks, “Oh, how soon can that be?” He says, “Maybe 10 years, 20 years.” And then the couple says, “Then, You mean at that time we will live happily ever after finally? We will have no more problems, no more quarrels?” And the Master says, “No, no! It will be the same. It’s just that you’ll get used to it and you won’t feel so bad.”
It’s just a habit. Everything you can get used to, and you don’t feel so bad anymore. Just look at your Center, and you’d know. All this, I see it because I don’t come often. But you come here every day, you feel pressure, but so what? “It’s always there. Why shouldn’t it be? The pressure is always there, I’m used to it already.” So you don’t see the garbage there. But for my eyes, it’s very disturbing. And for the guests who come for the first time, or a few times, it’s not very ideal. Same. So it doesn’t matter what problem, try to live with it.
I told you the story about Tolstoy, Leo Tolstoy, who wrote the book called “War and Peace.” Did I not? That he had a very terrible wife. Very, very terrible, more terrible than yours, I’m sure. So, one day Gandhi visited him and told him, “Why don’t you get rid of that devil, throw her on the roof or do something?” And Tolstoy said, “Shh! I did that last life, and this life it got double worse. So don’t tell me anymore.” Because Tolstoy was a spiritual practitioner. That’s why when you read his story, it’s almost a story about spirituality, about God, and very happy, very positive. It’s very good to read his books. You try it. If you haven’t, you try. There are translations everywhere, no? Sometimes I told some from the story, remember, from his book, or let them print some on our magazine before. If you search back to the old magazines, you’ll find them. So, you can read more. Such a thing is very good for you.
I mean, not good for your soul, but good for your mind. It gives you peace of mind, because when your mind accepts something, it makes you peaceful. But the soul is always peaceful already. The soul doesn’t need anything. It’s just because the soul has to work through the mind and the mind is a troublemaker. So, if the mind accepts you and becomes friends with you, you are in more bliss, happiness, that’s all. We have to always appease the mind. And the husband-and-wife quarrel is also because of the mind. He (the mind) records all kinds of garbage information and whenever the situation is nearly the same, he puts out the same stuff. And husband and wife or partners quarrel again; almost always it’s the same story, same mistake again. So even if you quarrel with each other a lot, do know that it’s just the mind that makes trouble, or the karma. “The karma” means the things that are recorded in the mind. The deeds that you’ve done before – the consequences – the mind records it and then next time he puts out the same.
So do love each other beyond the mind, beyond the physical contact, beyond sex, beyond troubles. You have to love with the love of God, with the enduring kind of love, and unconditional. Then it will last, and it will sail over troubled waters. If you keep looking at trouble in your partner all the time, or in yourself, then you just make the problem bigger. Try hard and work together. That doesn’t mean you ignore anything that the partner annoys you [with] or his habit or her habit – you talk about it. Hate the habit but not the person. Throw away the bad quality but do not throw away the person. Everyone has to have something to work with. That’s what we are here for. That’s what this life is all about. It’s difficult but it’s not impossible. I myself try to be an example of it. So, you yourself also try to be an example for yourself. Alright? Be happy. Good night.
OK, I just say hallo to the people behind there. Thank you, brother. Well, I don’t have eloquence sometimes to express it in a briefer and more precise way, but you understand the point. Actually, all this long talk, you can reduce to five minutes, like light-speed reading, light-speed hearing. Make it fast, fast, fast. Digest all the main points; that will be alright. (Master, what You said was very good, Master.) Ah, thank you. You understand English very well, huh? Or is it because (…) translated well? It’s nothing. Thank you! OK.
Where are they all? I don’t see them. Some of them are still there, some are gone. Where are they? Don’t see. No. You see somewhere? OK, never mind. Be happy. Wow, such a beautiful outfit! Why is it so crowded? What are you doing out there? No place? Ah, sorry. They told me this place is very big. I offered them to use my bedroom together so everybody can sit. But they said, “No, Master! It is a lot of room!” And look at this. I don’t know, baby talk. “Tee tee tee.” “Boo boo boo, baa baa baa.” See that? He knows. Hey. Your son, where? Where? (Oh, he’s sleeping.) Sleeping, it’s OK. Sleeping is good. OK. Fine, fine.
I just came to say hallo because you stay so far away. Maybe you didn’t see my beauty so closely. No, I mean, my elder stage of life, some more wrinkles. (You're beautiful, Master.) Really? With these street clothes. Hi. OK? Do you want to ask me anything? No? Good. (We love You.) Thank you. Thank you. God loves you. I wish you all the best, happiness and positivity. All your kids, some of them are very skinny. Maybe they take after you, but give them some (vegan) vitamins. Speed up their growth. And give them nutrition. Don’t let people think that we are vegan and the kids are not nourished enough – bad example. These, huh? What about now? I was thinking of giving it to the people out there. Ah, never mind, give it to the people out there first. Sit over there, with the kids. Is that enough? (Yes, I think it’s enough.) OK. Just for the outside people. The inside people have enough sweetness from me. Well, just pretend that a sweet doesn’t cost anything. When we say it’s bitter, it’s even worse. OK.
I’ll maybe see you tomorrow. (Yes.) Maybe. Maybe. You go and see (…) about the arrangement, whatever that is. You just arrive here now? Saw the delicious rice flakes and ran over. Why did you let him in? (Yes, at home. At home counting money, Master.) It’s late already and still let him in? (Bye-bye.) Bye-bye. I’ll see you tomorrow. You’ll come tomorrow? Maybe not. (I sleep here tonight.) You what? (I sleep here.) You sleep here tonight? Is it comfortable for you kids? (Yes.) It’s fun, huh? Sleeping on a bed all the time, what fun is it, huh? (Yes.) Sleeping in the car is also fun. I do that sometimes. Sometimes, I sleep in a tent. Sometimes, I sleep in a trailer. You know that? It’s fun. It’s new. A bed is no big deal. Houses are also no big deal. Where we have fun and we have warmth, we have love, that’s where we feel happy. Sometimes we have a big house and are not happy. Big bed – not happy, right? Toss and turn, can’t sleep. But here you sleep, huh? (Yes.)
OK, I see that you have a lot of guests and a lot of kids. Maybe we have to buy another piece of land next door. If they still sell them. Let me know. And then you pay. Well, just what do you think? Never mind. I can pay, but then you count the money like last time. It’s OK, we have money. It’s alright. OK? (It’s OK.) (See You tomorrow.) Yeah, see you. I’m spoiling you rotten these days. I don’t know how you deserved it. But maybe you’re good. Alright then. Good night. (Good night.) Hey, where’s my driver, my car, my second-hand car, my second-hand driver? Where? Is that so? Ah, alright, dive in, dive in. There’s no one in here at all. Just me, I’m nearly scared to death of ghosts. Afraid of living ghosts. Ah! No guards, nothing at all? Oh my, so scared! I’m so scared! Why do you keep scaring me? OK, you disappear. You, all of you disappear. Just take some fruit and disappear somewhere. Enjoy your freedom. (Yes.) Love you.
