You have to be truly sincere while reciting. Concentrate while building and have a repentant heart. Be humbly repentant, and believe that you’re doing good things. For the sake of respecting the Saints, the Sages, the Buddhas, for the sake of remembering God that you build temples, build churches. It’s not just for other people to know and put your name on the memorial tablet in the temple or in the church so that people know you are something, that you’re rich, that you’re generous and make big offerings to God or to the Saints and to the Buddhas. It’s not the outside that counts, it’s the inside, it’s in your heart, in your mind – whether or not you’re sincere. But never mind, anybody practices what they want. It’s a free world, and anybody can also teach anything they want. But you are my so-called disciples, I have to tell you what is correct and what is not.
If people worship animal-people, snake- or rat-people or all kinds of animal-people, and teach you to do that, and even call themself a “Satguru,” proclaim themself to be a Satguru, then it’s not “Sat” at all. “Sat” means True. But if you don’t worship God and worship animal-people instead, and mislead people to practice like you, then I am so sorry. Then you’re not a “Sat” at all, not to talk about guru. A Satguru is somebody who has reached the Sat, meaning reached the high Truth, the verified Truth. And a Guru is somebody who is the Master. But if you don’t teach the Truth, and you yourself don’t even know what it is yet, then you can’t call yourself Satguru; that is an offense to all the real Gurus, past, present and future.
So please stop all this nonsense. Try to find a good Master. Humble yourself. Go find Them, sit at Their feet, and listen to the Truth that They preach, if They are good. A true Master, of course, is hard to find. You have to rely on your luck, your sincerity, your humble prayer to God, so that you can meet such a Person. If you don’t know, then you pray to the past Masters or pray to God. Praying to God is good. Praying to a past Master is also very important, very effective.
One of my monk disciples, he’s a European person. I don’t want to say his country in case it’s too obvious. He’s European. Before, he worked outside – too much of wine, too much partying with the same-age people and youth, reckless life. And then one day, he suffered somehow in his mental thinking, he just had enough. He knew it’s wrong. So he prayed to Paramhansa Yogananda. And the Master had already passed away years ago. But he prayed to Him sincerely, saying, “Please, rescue me. Please, rescue me. I don’t want this kind of life. Help me.” And then Master Paramhansa Yogananda led him to me. Well, I didn’t know all this for years. I mean, I don’t ask the disciples many things of their private stuff. But decades passed, he has followed me many decades already. Just recently he told me that. Just by the way. Otherwise, I would never know. I mean, long after many decades, then he told me on some occasion. I mean not recently, like yesterday or something.
So you see, you pray to whomever, any of you who really want to liberate yourself from this suffering life and unstable life and very, very chaotic life. Then pray. You pray. Don’t pray that the Saints will lead you to me or anything – just pray that whatever is good for you, even to the past Saints. But the recent past Saints are the best, or the Saint who has vowed to save anyone who prays to Him. For example, like Amitābha Buddha. He has a great vow like that, that whoever calls on Him, prays to Him, He will liberate that person. But the thing is, we also should live like the Buddha’s life. Live and let everyone else live, let the animal-people live. Don’t kill them to eat. Don’t partake in this kind of murderous action to kill the animal-people just to fill your belly or for the taste. Especially nowadays, to live without animal-people products or taste or anything linked to it or any little part of it, it’s so easy. Vegan products are everywhere, everywhere.
Well, I’m not saying this to you because I want to advertise for my vegan company. No, no, we have just a very small company. It’s just enough to produce for us. But we also have to buy other products, because we don’t make everything. We make some, but not everything. They produce whatever they have forced me to taste years ago. But you can buy vegan nowadays from every company. We advertise for all of them on our Supreme Master Television. And all my so-called disciples, they don’t only buy my stuff. And I myself, I don’t only buy my products. I buy them anywhere, whatever I can get.
Because many companies, they all make them beautifully, beautifully, tasty, tasty. And then if you try them for some time, then you wonder why you even eat this blood-dripping animal-people meat. Why would you do that? It causes the death and agony for a living, breathing being, just some hours ago or some days ago. You will wonder why you have done that. At least try vegan. Try every product, see which one is your favorite, and keep on trying. Then you’ll get used to it, and you won’t even want to look at animal-people meat or fish or eggs or anything again, or maybe if you try to eat them again you might vomit or get sick.
Before, I was a vegetarian. I didn’t know the word “vegan.” Many monks, they eat eggs, they drink (animal-people) milk. I hardly could drink milk, except maybe sour milk, because milk reminds me of the cow-person, and the cow-person was eating anything in the field. I didn’t feel clean. Many things I don’t feel clean about. Or pig-people, they wallow in their own feces and all that. I saw it on TV. But I thought the infertile eggs… There are two types, one is fertile and the other one is infertile eggs. So I thought eating infertile eggs is OK, because I saw monks who eat them. But even just the beginning only, first, some months or some… And then I vomited when I ate eggs again, even though I didn’t eat them every day, very rarely. But you have friends, and you have this and that people, they eat this and eat that, and you eat with them. But no animal-people meat, of course, just milk and eggs. And I couldn’t drink animal-people milk, it was too… it tasted like so raw. So that was a long time ago or decades ago. Not now. I can’t even think about that. I don’t remember them.
So if you try vegan and you continue for a while, you would not like to think of animal-people meat or see meat or eggs or chicken- and fish-people. And you won’t even want to pass by these counters. You’ll become purer and purer, and your compassion will be purer, will be unsuppressed. Because before, you didn’t think about it and you kept eating it. The more animal-people meat you eat, the more your compassion becomes like suppressed, oppressed. But now, if you leave all this murderous energy from the animal-people meat, then your compassion will shine, will be more free to shine and to be stronger. And you will love the animal-people more, you will love your human beings more. Some people say that any person who loves animal-people will also love other human beings, love their families more and all that.
And, of course, you have more and more advantages of being vegan – your mind is sharper, your temperament is more gentle. Your love is growing bigger, then you can love everything. Then you love so many things, like you don’t even want to pluck a flower. You do not want to dig out any vegetable in the wild. When you walk on the street, if you see some wild vegetable, you don’t feel like you could pluck and eat it. It has been happening to me for a long time already, not just now. I could not… OK, when it’s already done, and I know it’s a no-pain food… And anyway, I made a lot of no-pain lists for you to choose from, if you don’t want to even hurt the plants, the herbs, the trees. There are some plants, some trees, some fruit, vegetables, they don’t feel pain because God made them like that so that you can consume them without a guilty feeling.
That’s why God said, “I made all the herbs and fruit beautiful and taste good in the field for you as your food.” God also said that He made grass and herbs and plants for the animal-people to eat. You see how wonderful, how merciful, how loving God is to make even special food for special species. So nowadays, I can only say, “Love God.” I only can love God. I don’t even praise God. I could not think of anything more than just loving God, because every day God treats me like Hiers own child. Even now I’m already one with God, I still sometimes need to ask for some special occasion, or like permission to talk to you.
And sometimes I ask too much. God or Lord Jesus would tell me, “You are me.” Hes says, “You and I are One.” It’s not the first time, and not only one time, that I’m told like that, that I am one with Them. So no need to always ask for permission. But sometimes God tells me because we are Three, so anyway, if I do something, I also need to discuss it. It’s just like if you have a company, or if you have a husband or a wife, if you do something for the family, you talk, you discuss first. Not because you don’t have permission, but that’s the way. But They are so kind to tell me, “We are One. Don’t need to ask.” But habits, I’m also in the habit, all my life, to be respectful to God, to ask God, to pray to God. So it still has a lingering effect.
Knowing that peace had come to Syria, that reminded me of Their happiness, and I also felt extra happy, more happy than the days before when the two Kings had not come to thank me yet. But, of course, in my heart and even openly, I said to God that I am grateful always to The Trinity. I myself alone cannot do much. I’m so, so proud to have this honor and privilege to work as one of The Three Most Powerful. I have to keep reminding myself also, because in the physical world, We do things differently than when we are in Heaven. Even just in Astral Heavens, things are different. It’s easier than in this world. In this world, all the karma is connected, and many different worlds are connected together. It’s very difficult to remember or to do it easily without having to think or to consider. So I always have to discuss within The Three Most Powerful. I don’t do things all by myself alone. Even when I eat nowadays, I will say, “OK, we Three enjoy this food, and I thank all involved in making this food under God’s Grace, in God’s Name also. And I also wish that all have good food, enough food on this planet, all beings, whoever needs any food, might have it, to their heart’s content.”
