It’s not difficult to make this world into a paradise. Just nobody wanted to make it. First of all, just stop killing humans and animal-people, that’s it. (Yes. Right.) All this money from the suffering by pandemics, diseases, and burying people and bloodshed, all this suffering will end. We will have a lot of money. We can distribute it to the poor people so they can manage themselves. (Yes, Master.)

It is good that the international community is helping people in war-torn regions and in some disasters and all that, but if we take care of the root, then we don’t have to have all these disasters or war victims or refugees and all that stuff. (Yes, Master.) The root is peace! (Yes.) The root is helping the poor to help themselves. Not waiting until they suffer in war and disasters because of climate change, because of trouble, and then come and help. By that time, they have already lost their homes, lost many of their relatives and friends, lost their property, lost their dignity and even will to live. It’s too late. So, it’s better to reorganize this world, like helping the poor to help themselves. (Yes. Right.)

No war whatsoever– never, zero! War never solves any problem. It just makes it worse. (Right. True, Master.) It might look good for the winner in the beginning – just temporarily, but they will go to hell and suffer ten million times more than the war they caused for other people to suffer. They just don’t know it… Yet. I hope they don’t have to know it, by stopping any war possible, just helping their own country’s poor people to stand on their own feet and taking care of their own family and children.

It’s very easy to do that, if you don’t spend so much money on all these silly war games, and amassing wealth while others have nothing to eat. Killing each other just to gain profit and fame. And the world will be a paradise.

It’s not difficult to make this world into a paradise. Just nobody wanted to make it. First of all, just stop killing humans and animal-people, that’s it. (Yes. Right.) All this money from the suffering by pandemics, diseases, and burying people and bloodshed, all this suffering will end. We will have a lot of money. We can distribute it to the poor people so they can manage themselves. (Yes, Master.)

Not just give them food and money then and there, but give them some means to sustain their life, all their lives. (Yes, Master.) Not wait until they have trouble because of war or climate change, and then go and help them. It is good but it shouldn’t wait until that time. (Yes, Master. That’s right.) I know but whom am I talking to? You. (And hopefully they will listen.) I hope so. Let’s hope so. (They have to now.)

Oh, my God. They have everything they wanted already in life. What else do they want? They have leadership, they work in the government, all secure. All of the governments are secured for life. (Yes. Yes, Master.) All the government workers, for example, are secure for life. They never have any problems anywhere – financial, or any other needs. And the leaders of them, mostly they have more than everything they need. (Right. Yes, Master.)

So, they should just stop sinning, and think. Stop and think. Go learn some meditation or something, prepare for their funeral. It comes soon, anytime. Not because they are old-age, but because life is ephemeral. (Right. That’s right.) It could happen at any time. (Yes.) Many leaders die. Many famous international celebrities die, just like that, either from COVID, or accidents, or car accidents, or airplane accidents, whatever. Why don’t they learn from this ephemeral nature of life, and behave themselves? Just go and learn some enlightening method somewhere, and rethink about how they treat life and others. (Yes, Master.)

I hope this is the last time we talk about these silly things like war and all that. My God! It’s the 21st century already! Still want to go and “bang, boom” and kill others. This is really so… so childish, so immature, so stupid. (Yes, Master.)

Good. Any more questions? (No, Master.) Good. Then I’ll read you a story. (Thank You, Master.) I feel time is so pressing. So, whenever I can, I have to read you guys stories, so you learn from the lessons from the past Masters or past sutras and the Bible, and also for the world to remember God, and to remember how to live their lives in a virtuous and decent way. (Yes, Master. Thank You.)

I’m still doing my work, even if I don’t want to. Like, I’m tired, I really didn’t want to do it. But I said, “I should not be lazy. I should not abandon the world.” (Yes, Master. Thank You, Master.) Maybe they abandon me. They don’t listen to me. But I won’t do the same. I cannot ignore and abandon people whose souls are needing help. (Yes. Understand, Master.) Maybe their minds won’t understand it, but their souls will understand, and it will help them to some degree. (Yes. Thank You so much, Master.)

This is a story from the Qur’an. Chapter 28 verses 76-83, in case you want to refer to it. In case you don’t believe what I read.

But I read word by word, according to the translators. (Yes, Master.) In the name of Allah, God Almighty, the Gracious and the Merciful, we thank You and all the Masters and saints and sages, for Their wisdom imparted to us since time immemorial, and still do, through Their teaching that are leftover for us. We thank You, and may You be always in peace with God. Amen. (Amen.)

This story is about a person who is famous in Persian literature, who lived in Moses’ time and was very rich. His name is Qaroon. He’s also known as Croesus. He was considered to be one of the richest men in history. Wow. (Wow.) Whoever married him? He was an Israelite who lived in Egypt but refused to pay heed to the Prophet Musa. Musa is the Persian name for Moses. (Oh.) He refused to pay heed to Prophet Moses’ call.

He is rumored to have separate rooms filled with bags of gold. Oh! Silver, oh! And all other precious gems. (Oh!) He should have given it to me, I make Celestial Jewelry.

By the way, I don’t let them buy gold to make it anymore because gold, some silver and precious stones mostly are mined by modern means and it’s very detrimental to the environment. (Yes, it is. Yes, Master.) So, if people order again then maybe the jewelers and the Celestial Jewelry groups, have to find those almost like second-hand gold and silver, etc. It’s not second-hand but the ones that they used or discarded from industrial use or something like that, which is already less harmful. All those that are mined in the traditional way, we have to find something that is not harmful to the environment. (Yes, Master.) Otherwise, I tell them no need anymore. That’s why I told you guys not to advertise any jewelry on our TV anymore. (Yes, Master.) Unless they find those discarded gold and other precious stones, then maybe we can advertise again. (Yes, Master.) But then we have to say these gold and precious stones or silver are not harmful to the environment. (Yes, Master.)

So now, this man Qaroon lived in the grandest possible palace, and the townsmen envied his fabulous possessions and lifestyle. Who wouldn’t? (Yes.) Me, no. I wouldn’t. That’s a lot of trouble. The more you have, the more trouble. (That’s right.) I remember when I was in India in the Himalayas, I had nothing much, but I was so happy.

And now we have so many places to take care of. Many places we can’t use anymore because there’s no need and we still need to take care. (Yes.) Some people still need to go there and clean once a month or something like that. And I feel not good about it. But we can’t just abandon it completely to let the grass grow in it. In case we use it some other day or for some reason. (Yes, Master.) So, we just take the minimum care, but I still don’t feel good.

Now, “Qaroon belonged to the clan of Moses, but he oppressed them,” oppressed the clan members. “We had given him treasures.” I have to explain to you. “We” here means the Heavenly beings. (Yes, Master.) The hierarchy of the Heavens who give people, or all beings in this world, what they have. (Yes, Master.)

So, it’s not like we really earn all our possessions the way it looks. Maybe we work hard for it. But still, if Heaven doesn’t bless us, then we earn nothing. (Yes. Yes, Master.) Or no talent, even if we think we have talent. If Heaven doesn’t help or doesn’t bless us or agree with that, then we have nothing. So, you can see many people were rich but then they became bankrupt so easily. (Yes, that’s right.) Or they leave it to their children, and they don’t know how to manage the money well, so even the great wealth will dwindle to nothing, and they will also become homeless. (Yes.)

So now “We” here, Heaven is telling some people about this story in the Qur’an, and people recorded it, so we thank all these recorders, writers, or translators as well, etc.

So, “We had given him treasures,” this is Heaven speaking. Not me. I mean in the story, somebody had been told by Heavens about this. (Yes. Yes, Master.) So, in this story, Heaven refer to Themselves as “We.”

“We had given him treasures, the keys of which would weigh down a group of strong men.” Just the key alone, or the keys only. Meaning, we have so many rooms, many keys, many palaces to hoard his treasures. (Yes, Master.) So, even the keys of which would weigh down a group of strong men. (Oh, wow.) Not to talk about me and you, just sitting at the desk all day long. We’d just look at them and we’d probably swoon already. Too heavy.
