Love in Action

 

The Land of the Kings Bathes in the Grace of God

As discussed above, fellow practitioners recently conducted relief operations in the state of Rajasthan, which means "Land of the Kings" in the local dialect. There ancient palaces and castles built in fine, classical style continue to stand tall, and one can tell from such architecture that the region is a place of high spirituality.

When the practitioners arrived in Delhi, several young drivers from the area drove them to Jodhpur. On the way, one happily exchanged spiritual views with the initiates. During the three-week journey of relief work conducted by the group, the drivers were moved by Master’s love, and of their own accord donned the Association’s green vests worn by the fellow practitioners and pitched in to help with the relief operation. In the end, three of the drivers learned the Convenient Method while two received initiation and joined the QuanYin Family.

In addition to distributing relief materials, the fellow initiates brought along spiritual nectar — Master’s sample booklets. Some people who received the booklets immediately placed them against their wisdom eyes, and some began discussing them at once while others displayed them behind the windshields of their taxis. Children crowded in to obtain Master’s photo, and Master’s videos, originally broadcast indoors for the children, also attracted the attention of adults who were only too happy to stand and watch. Though life is hard for the people of Rajasthan, their longing for spiritual elevation is nonetheless intense.

During the journey, the relief workers were scheduled to stay in a farmhouse known as the Raman Guest House, and the host’s brother-in-law was at the entrance to receive them when they arrived. He told the initiates that he had dreamed daily of Master in different forms and appearances, and also saw the fellow practitioners. So by the time they arrived, he was already looking forward to meeting these "old friends."

It’s worth noting that many members of the MMBA, after working with the initiates for nearly a month, accepted Master’s teachings, realizing that the development of wisdom and love is beneficial to their charity work. Eight members of the group received initiation and voluntarily began translating Master’s teachings in hopes of sharing the message of Truth in India.

During the relief operation in Rajasthan, the workers travelled more than a thousand kilometers, more than fifty local residents learned the Convenient Method, over twenty received initiation into the Quan Yin Method and innumerable souls were elevated by hearing Master’s name. During the Convenient Method session, many saw the inner Light of God, and some experienced the Light form of Master’s manifestation. Everyone had happy experiences, looking contented and swinging their heads vigorously back and forth to tell fellow practitioners, "I have seen God!" (Most Indians swing their heads sideways when they mean to express agreement.)
