So, does someone want to translate this? Can you? (I understood it.) Yes? Understood is good, but is there someone who did not understand it? Can you translate? (Everything now?) Yes. Yes, try! Give her the microphone! Give it to her. Or is there someone who can understand English better? (Yes, who did not understand? Did everyone understand?) He did not understand it. Yes, can you translate? (I will try it, yes.) Yes, try it! (So, She [Master] said, now at the end, that if we always repeat the Five [Holy] Names which we learned yesterday, we virtually have protection. We should repeat Them during the day, especially also when we do social work, like the lady said, if it is dangerous, if she could take on karma or something negative from the people. And She [Master] said, that she should protect herself with the Five [Holy] Names. And we can all do that generally, always repeat Them during the day. And apart from that, the lady asked if the karma... if she takes on karma from other people during her social work, and here Master said she would not, if she protects herself with the [Five Holy] Names somehow and she helps...) ...in God’s service. (God’s service, yes.)
So, something else? Something else? (Yes, She [Master] told us about yesterday’s schedule, how exhausting it was to meet journalists and...) No, to be a social worker, how exhausting it was for her, it is for her to be a social worker. And then I said, if one works for others, we do have to suffer so much. I don’t have it easy either. I just told you about my days, to comfort... (Calm down.) Calm down, yes. (Console.) Console, yes, yes, yes. You understand it better, why don’t you translate? You don’t translate? Yes, for example. Continue translating. (I, I...) “I forgot,” right? For example, I said that when one works for others, and devotes oneself... (Devotes.) Devotes, yes. Then it is, of course, very difficult, but there is no special genius... How do you say “genius”? (Genius.) Genius.
It is just a continuous effort when someone works for others. There is no genius from childhood on, or a (male or female) Master, or something like that, from childhood on. But only someone who loves without limit and continuous dedication, (Devotion.) devotion to serve others. And I, as a so-called Master, have to do that as well. For example, I said I arrived yesterday and immediately had to see people and speak, and then I was very, very tired from the work in other countries, and besides, sometimes the body does not function at all, the wooden block. Oh, I was just looking forward to lay down a little bit. Because when I am on tour, there is very little time to sleep, to eat, or to rest. And sometimes we are (up) for a long while, and the body wants to revolt. And therefore, I was very tired, so I laid down for a little bit.
And later I still had to prepare for the lecture, and I had to prepare the entire morning. And then I gave it to other people to look at it, to read if it was correct, and then I had to read it again and practice in my “broken” German. And that takes almost the whole day. And on top of that I needed to meet with journalists to talk with them, and then the other people who come here, and many things, matters here and there that happen with our group, etc., also in Taiwan (Formosa) and other countries. Fax and so on. Fax? (Fax, yes.) Yes, yes, and (write) many letters, talk on the telephone and so on, the whole day. And then in the evening, I still need to hold the lecture, you know that already, and afterwards the initiation.
And then, when I got home around three o’clock in the early morning, I took a shower, and then I had to make another phone call abroad. Because of the time (difference), you know? One cannot call from here in the afternoon, because (over) there, they will not be working then, for example. Therefore, it is difficult sometimes. And then until around 5 (AM) o’clock or something like that, almost 5 o’clock, I needed to meditate to recover a little. Then you get a little... I had... My body was not very well, (not) in good shape. (Pain.) Pain, yes! Then I had to massage myself a little and then rest, give it some rest. So that we can use it again every morning. Like your car. You have to maintain that as well, that takes a little time. And then I lay down a bit, and then at about 07:30 I need to get up to take care of many other things. Then unpack, then eat a little or take a bath etc., take care of some paperwork, not only letters but many matters of information, bureaucracy.
And then I have to prepare to meet you, and afterwards I have to fly on the plane again. Then, in Belgium there are already a lot of people waiting, then questions again and work and again, blah blah blah again. Two hours on the plane to recover, or maybe not. Because sometimes people smoke on the plane. I don’t know whether you have that here or not. Sometimes not, right? But the smoke is everywhere, it reaches everywhere. It doesn’t care where is the smoking area or not. The smoke reaches everywhere, and that is very, very bad. And I said to her, there is no so-called (male or female) Master. There is only continuous effort, devotion, dedication – dedication to help others, serve others. That is what this type of work is. There is no born Master or social worker. We still have to make an effort. It is always like that, always. My days are always like that. Almost every day is like that. So, when you are feeling very strained, or cumbersome, discouraged, then think of this story! And continue to work! OK?
(How do we balance work and body, so that we don’t carry on with the body karma?) You just have to offer, hand over everything to God. You have to give it to God, everything you do. And always recite the Five (Holy) Names. Because this work, it is not... It’s a kind of job. It’s not that you... You see, when you’re kind of a social worker, you talk to people and make them understand why they should feel better. And they feel better themselves. It’s not that you’re doing something. So it’s OK. Just reason with them. So it’s OK.
Yeah? Do you want? Please. (Can I ask it in English?) Yes, sure. English, or German. Whatever you want. (It’s alright. Now, I have two questions. One is about Your karmic theory. I’m a Christian, and so I have some problems with this...) Right. (Yes, that’s right.) No, it should not be. “As you sow, so shall you reap,” it says in the Bible. That is karma. (Yes, but, you see, the thing is, when people came to Christ, He always healed everybody. But You said You would leave certain people to their fate. Christ did heal people.) Yeah, but not everybody. (Yes, but to certain people only, He said, “Go, don’t make the same mistakes again,” but whoever came to Him, He healed, didn’t He?) Not all of them. (Not all of them, OK. My second question is…)
I didn’t say to you I didn’t heal people. Did I? I told you last night that I do it sometimes. (No, no, but You said that as an expected Christian, when people are in trouble, to go out and help them. You do that, I know, but You said to leave it to them, their fate. That is, You said, “That is their karma.” You said.) Which one? (They asked questions about wars and questions about the people that…) Of course, Christ cannot also stop the war. What are you talking about? (No, no, no. What I’m saying is that when people…) He only helped one or two people. He didn’t help the whole of Jerusalem. (No, that is true, but what I’m…) Yeah, I do the same, so what are you talking about?
(So, the thing is this. When a person is born, do I have to think about his previous life and do...?) You don’t have to. (You don’t have to. You can always help. Yes. OK. My second question is, You are from the Himalayas; I’m from India, so Your Master was always somewhere in the Himalayas. And as I know from the tradition, they don’t travel around the world and is it right that You travel around the world? Do You lose Your spirituality that way? That’s my question.) That’s my business. (No, no, that’s right.) If I don’t lose it, how will you gain? (Yes.) If I stay in the Himalayas, (Yes.) would you have the initiation last night? (No, I would not.) All free of charge, all free of problems! (That’s why I’m asking. I don’t…) Of course, (Yes.) you’re right. (Yes.)
You’re right. Most of the Masters don’t like to travel. Even ordinary people, they don’t like to travel. I mean, all the time, like this, because we have the body, which is not the Master, and we are tired, and especially, sometimes, for a woman, it’s more tiring. But I have to do it for you. Otherwise, I don’t like to travel. I hate traveling, if I have to say. Smoking, and people touching you and your clothes and everything, and a lot of problems at the airport, with visas and with all kinds of bureaucracy. And you have to subject yourself sometimes to humiliation and all kinds of hardship during travel. And you can’t sleep on time; you can’t eat on time because of the demands of the people. No Master would like to do that. But if They do it, it’s because of Their love for mankind. (Yes.) Of course, you’re right. I should stay in the Himalayas. Maybe I’ll go back. (Don’t do that.) I go back. You see, I don’t lose my spiritual level, but I get tired physically and sometimes get mental abuse from the ignorance of people and lots of different personalities and levels of understanding. And, of course, I’m tired sometimes but then other people would cry, and I am touched again, and I go out again, and I complain again, I say, “Never again.” And then I do it again! I say, “No, no,” and then, “Yes, yes.” You see, that’s the trouble.
