Jesus left us almost 2,000 years ago, but His teaching and His spiritual energy still blesses us, and makes many of us saintly and righteous, and reminds us always of God. I just read some of the Master's teaching today, and it's so beautiful! The language of the Masters is the language of love, of poetry and of Heaven. I have found that many great Masters speak almost similar languages. I don’t mean the same native language but the same kind of expression: very poetic, very romantic, very noble and very pleasing to the ear, even physically. We should always speak this kind of language every day. But unfortunately, sometimes we forget. Sometimes we have to deal with each other or with other people in a more aggressive and less romantic way. This is regretful to all of us. When we are intoxicated with love, we become like a poet, a musician, an angel or like a very noble, celestial being. We float in the air; we don’t walk. We breathe with the soul, not with the mind. We think with the heart, not with the brain, and we speak with the language of love. Or, we don’t even talk. We don’t want to sometimes. We just like to sit there and hold hands, like two mannequins! There is a joke about people who are in love. It says that if you want to know whether any couple is in love, you can observe them. If the couple loves each other, they just sit there, looking into the eyes, holding hands or not holding hands, and don’t say anything. They just look into eyes quietly, sitting there together; just being together is already very happy for them. But if you see a couple who sits there, maybe talking a lot in loud voices, or looking in different directions, then you know they are not lovers. The Master Quetzalcoatl also mentioned a lot about silence: “Be silent so that you can see the Light and hear the inner music or inner voice.” That's what he said. He said do not teach people what you do not understand, because that is empty and without substance. We can repeat the same words as the Masters of the ancient times, but if we do not have the spiritual awakening inside, then our words are empty. So it might sound the same, but it's not poetically imbued with love, and it's not empowered with the blessing of God. So those empty words fail to awaken the deepest recesses of our soul, and don’t help us to elevate. That's why the Master tells the people to keep silent, if they do not know. His words, even though from a few thousands years ago, are still as true today. And they are so beautiful! If we speak this kind of language every day to each other, we would never have to experience World War I, World War II or any war at all. If we cannot speak words of wisdom, then we’d better keep silent. The best language is the language of the soul, the inner voice or the inner sound of Heaven. That's why whenever we are tired of the world's abuse, when we are tired of the endless struggle for survival, when we are tired of the mental fatigue, and we sit down and do the Quan Yin for a while, we feel tranquil and relieved of the heaviness that had shackled our inner soul. Sometimes we feel very restless because of physical disturbance, the polluted environment or a stressful occupation or profession. And so when we do some tuning in to the inner music, to the inner teaching of God and to the sound inside, we feel immediate peace and rest.
