It is truly like that. I speak from my own experience, too. Once we seek only the kingdom of God, we truly have everything. Even when we don’t want, it just comes from nowhere; they force their way to us. Sometimes we don’t want to, but we just have to accept it. It is very difficult also, very difficult to reject sometimes. We are very strict here, which is good for me. Otherwise, gifts would be laying all over everywhere. Before, I said, “Don’t accept gifts!” but then people threw them there and ran away. And then, poor me! I had to collect them together and give to someone else. So what is the use? Because I don’t really need anything.

It’s funny! Like the Bible says, “The one who has, will have more;” “the one who doesn’t have anything, will have less.” But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t have anything, you’ll have even less. It’s just that when you don’t have anything, then you mostly want: you want and keep wanting. And the wanting energy acts just like a wall, stopping everything from coming to you. Similarly, we have to be sincere in our spiritual practice but not greedy and not like materialistic spiritualists.

Everything will come naturally. We may pray, but with sincerity, not with greed and demand. There is a very, very slight difference! If you can know the difference between desire and the yearning or longing for liberation, longing for wisdom and longing to know the Truth - between yearning to know the Truth and greedy desire, there is a very slight difference.

If we don’t balance ourselves well, we will step on one side or another. It’s good when we step on the other side, of more spiritual yearning. Then that day we meditate very well. But we don’t have to pray every day like that, only when we can’t make it. (Master gestures toward the wisdom eye.) Sometimes when it’s black, or when things look dark and gray, then you pray earnestly to the Master, and it happens. It always happens. Before I took over this "business," very rarely did I see that the Master didn’t answer. The inner Master rarely refuses your prayer. When the Master did refuse, it meant that request might be no good for me. Later, I would find out. Sometimes the Master takes away something from us, and then we feel very miserable. We think, “Master doesn’t care; Master knows I like it, so why does He take away?” But it’s not true. Later, you’ll be so happy that He got rid it for you. It is like that.

I cannot guarantee you that if you pray to the Master, the Master will give you a good husband or a good wife, a beautiful and very faithful one, and then you’ll be happy. No! The price is very great. The work is very hard. If you want, you may have, and then work for it. But don’t always say, “Master, please help me!” Master cannot interfere in such problems, because there is karma. There is the karma of every person who joins together as husband and wife, as father and mother and children and so on. There is karma. And depending on what kind of karma you have, your relationship will be sweet or sour.

If you don’t want it altogether, that’s OK too. Master can annihilate that; it is quicker. It’s quicker to get rid of than to sustain later. But most of us are born with a fixed karma, and before we are born, we are willing to join with such-and-such person in order to strengthen our physical, spiritual and mental power, in order to continue the work in this world. So we are very willing to do that.

But many people are not willing, so they run away and become monks and nuns, or do some volunteer work by spending their time, youth and energy on a more meaningful purpose in life. That also will level the karma away. These are people who are stronger and do not need support, beside them or behind them. They can go it all alone. But many people find life very lonely and meaningless, so they need someone to share their ups and downs, the ins and outs and troubles of life.

That’s all right; both are all right. The one who lives alone strengthens himself or herself with works, with sacrifice and with other pursuits in life. And the ones who live with company strengthen each other by each other’s strength, too. So both will be strengthened somewhat in different ways. God will always make up for the short of supply. So life will never be made too miserable or unbearable for us, if we have an inner supply of the Master power. We meditate, and we really do not desire much of this life. The days go by easier; we do everything with less attachment and we look at other people with less desire.

That is the very good thing about practicing inner power. One day, the desire is lost completely. We feel so happy inside and so fulfilled that unless other people need us, we don’t go looking for trouble. We don’t even go looking for help, like saying, “Wow! You look miserable. I’ll help you.” No, no! We’re just OK. Whether we help or don’t help, talk or don’t talk, teach or don’t teach, we’re OK; because we have become completely whole and fulfilled within ourselves. We don’t need any external stimulation, motive, goal to reach, compassion to boast about or love to carry on the shoulder. Nothing!
