(Master, what is the difference between Your Blessing Power effect that You brought to the world, and the blessing power effect that came from my own practice? […] Does it mean if I wish something, it will come true without my own effort?) Yeah. (Really?) Really. Promise. (Wow.) What do you want to wish? (I…) But I have told you already, beware of what you wish for. Don’t wish for selfish things or stupid stuff. Wish something that benefits other people, unless you really need it.
OK. What is it you want to ask again? (Hallo, Master.) Hallo. (Master, what is the difference between Your Blessing Power effect that You brought to the world, and the blessing power effect that came from my own practice?) What’s the difference? (That I take the Blessing Power from the Divine Love to me, does it mean if I wish something, it will come true without my own effort?) Yeah. (Really?) Really. Promise. (Wow.) What do you want to wish? (I…) But I have told you already, beware of what you wish for. Don’t wish for selfish things or stupid stuff. Wish something that benefits other people, unless you really need it.
(Yes, because I’ve fought for years with that already. In my case, I really wish to truly use the Divine Love power within myself, through my whole being. But often I fail because of my strong ego.) It sounds familiar to me. So, what do you want me to do? (That’s why I ask, Your Blessing Power, would it work in my case, if I just wish?) We discussed this in many lectures already. It depends on your level. If you want to digest the Power, you have to also be more selfless and more highly cultivated spiritually. (Yes.) There’s nothing coming cheap. (OK, thank You.) You’re welcome.
Next one. Upstairs? I wish we don’t have upstairs, downstairs. (Sorry, sister is not here.) No? OK, gone. (She’s not there.) Not there? (Yes.) Oh, anyway, it’s good because she also suggested I take what medicine for my cough. My God. The more I take medicine, the more she doesn’t like me. She told me to stop. What did I do? I only said goodbye. What do you want me to do, invite him to my house or stay there forever? “Welcome”? What? My God, I’m only trying to cheer you up. You don’t understand black humor, too bad. I mean dark humor. Yeah, that’s English, they say, “dark humor,” no? No, no, not “dark humor.” “Dry humor,” whatever, English humor.
Korea. What is it? Come tell me, quick. Oh, man. You know what, I have some jokes in my living room. Here, the key. Maybe there’s a remedy for my trouble today. Not really, I just... (Master, the sister is gone.) Gone? (Yes.) Bye-bye. “Miss American Pie.” “In the road, boys drink whiskey and drive, thinking this shall be the day that I die.” “Miss American Pie.”
Another medicine?! Thank God that they’re gone. My God! I don’t even know what he’s talking about here. What is daikon? What is... even green onion? Oh, my God! If I take all this medicine, suggested herewith, wow, I think I would not come here and talk to you because probably my temper would get worse from taking medicine. You know, it’s very difficult to take care of yourself when you’re tired and you want to sleep, and you can’t. And then when you need to get up to take medicine, you sleep. And the alarm rings like two, three o’clock in the morning or five o’clock for you to get up to prepare the medicine. And then, after or before medicine... some are before meals, some after meals. And you’re not hungry at three o’clock in the morning, but you have to take the medicine, and then wait half an hour, and then take the other one and eat, because some are after meals, some before meals. For me, it’s really a terrible punishment. And this is also another medicine recipe here. Just from the last batch. These are very funny stuff. So, we loosen up a little bit.
There’s a limit to some tolerance. I could of course sit here and just smile, and nod my head forever. But what’s the use? What can that serve anyone? You want me to just be like a doll? You turn a button, “Yes! Yeah? OK. Of course! No problem! Welcome!” Then, you get a robot. You get an iRobot to teach you. I’m real, man. OK? Everything’s real – real temper, real love, real care. Are you married, by the way? (Yes.) Then you should know this is not a problem. And you? (No.) Girlfriend? (No.) Boyfriend? Then he’s real scared. Then you should go get a girlfriend, or boyfriend, whatever preference, or marry, then you’re not scared anymore. After marriage, nothing is scary anymore. Right? For the men, especially. Your husband told you that, no? No? That’s why. You teach him what real “scared” means. There are many gurus who always smile, even hugging. Lullaby. Why don’t you go? (Because we love You.) Love? What for? How come you’re so fat now? What did you eat? (Vegan.) You live next to Loving Hut restaurant or something? (Yes, vegan.)
OK. You know, like a worm that spoils the apple? Just one little worm inside spoils the apple. You don’t know. You don’t know the appearance and the inside. You came, and I lost a lot of spiritual merit points. I lost a lot of luck. I lost a lot of immunity, got a lot of (bad) karma. I became agitated, and I looked unpleasant in front of everybody. I had to go to hospital and shake hands with some people that I don’t like. I had to tolerate many workers in my house because everything went kaput since the retreat began. Even kaput here, too. I had to do all kinds of behind-the-scenes repairing. I had to fire many people and therefore incurred much (bad) karma for myself. I have to take many medicines, antibiotics and all that, it ruins my body and my mood. So, you come here, you lose nothing. You only gain. You have food cooked for you. You don’t need to worry about telephone business. You relax, you laugh, and I entertain you almost every day. (Yes.)
Now think about that. So, it doesn’t matter what I do, it’s harmless to you. It only makes you better. If you face yourself honestly, it will make you better. Huh? (Yes.) Whatever I do here is harmless to you, just maybe harmful to your ego. So, if you want to be scared, then you should be scared of your ego, no?
Whoa, it’s so hot, this really keeps it hot. And this is full. (I will empty?) You what? (I’ll empty the cup.) Please. Can do? (Yes.) I can drink like this also. (I’ll empty it.) Wow!
You don’t know how scary you are. And I am scared of you, too. But I love you more than I am scared. Therefore, I’m here. And because I come here to be with you, my dog(-people) are waiting all day, all night at home. Because I come home very late, and in the daytime, I have to make up for the meditation I lost, if I can. And then, they hardly see me, and they feel very anxious also. Many side effects, you don’t know. So, before you criticize me, look inside yourself. Then you’ll be scared of yourself, and I’m also scared of you. Let’s be scared together, of you. At least we have one thing in common. My God, this world...
