M:Yes.
We don’t need all that garbage. We should always try to correct
our thinking because it trips us up all day long. You’re just
happy, and then something happens and you might start thinking negatively.
At that time, use all your power from meditation to push it out. Say,
“No, I don’t need you. You’re an unwelcome guest.
Bye-bye.” Otherwise, the negative power tries to steal our positive
moments all the time.
Each time you try to be happy or you’re happy, someone just
comes and does something bad, or gives you some command or is clumsy.
Or something else happens, and your mood starts to change immediately:
“You can’t do that! Blah, blah, blah…” And
then you begin to lose the happiness that you’ve just begun
to enjoy; this is the devil’s trick. So we always have to be
diligent and push away any negative feeling or thinking at any moment
because we’re actually all one.
Many days, I feel it’s ridiculous to even go out and talk because
I feel we’re all transparent. I feel that I can’t speak
badly about someone without that person knowing it or seeing me and
listening to me.
So that’s why you need to keep your mouth quiet and your thoughts
positive; because you can’t hide. After we begin to meditate,
we can’t hide from anyone. We’re transparent. We’re
everywhere, and we’re one with everyone. And that’s the
very good thing about meditation on God consciousness because we’re
really connected, and that’s how we better ourselves. Even if
we don’t want to, we just get better and better.
Q:
Right.
Now, even the smallest thing that I do wrong bothers me.
M:Yes!
You correct yourself right away.
Q:
Or
something happens to correct me?
M:Yes,
it’s true, maybe a headache, or maybe a loss or maybe something
else. Good, I’m so glad because I know you’re progressing.
I know you’re really progressing, every one of you, even the
so-called lousiest fellow practitioners. Even if I rebuke or scold
you, I know in my heart that you’re fine. You’re OK; you’re
progressing, and maybe I’m just pushing you a little harder
than I should. But I have to be mother and father and all kinds of
things. It’s hard on me, too. Have pity, OK? (Master laughs.)
Forgive me if I’m harsh with you sometimes, but it’s necessary,
it’s good.
