While following Master for many years, my life has changed dramatically, as each day I have gone from sorrow and worry to greater joy and happiness. In my daily affairs, spirituality is the only thing that matters, and everything always falls into place in the end.

For example, I once went through a severe illness, in which my right arm became numb and felt very painful so that I often had to see doctors and used many types of medication. But despite these treatments, my condition not only failed to improve, but became even more uncomfortable. So I decided not to go to physicians any more but prayed to Master twenty-four hours a day instead. I could not meditate on the Sound during this time, but continually prayed to Master for help.

Then one day I had a horrible dream in which my left arm not only ached like my right arm, but even more disgustingly, my arms were covered with many abscesses and scabs. I had to peel them off , and as each scab came off, I did not see pus but instead an animal head, such as a chicken’s head, a duck’s head, a pig’s head, a frog’s head or a crab’s head. At first I was afraid to look at them, but soon felt differently when I looked at them again, as they appeared to be cute little animals.

I awoke afterwards, looked at my arms, and everything was normal - I no longer felt pain in my arm and it seemed that my sickness was over. I later recalled that before becoming a vegetarian and beginning to practice spiritually, I used to eat the flesh of these animals in my meals so they had come to exact their karmic debts from me.

Fortunately, I had Master’s protection and She dissolved this karma in my dream. Otherwise, I may have died. I had acted this way earlier because I did not know the laws of the universe and that all sentient beings have souls and feelings.

Thank you, Master, for giving me the ultimate way of finding the Truth, and for teaching me to love all sentient beings. Even if it is the smallest of creatures, I will still try my best to protect it.
