Let Go Of Your Small Self
And You Will Be A Master

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Thailand
January 1, 1994 (Originally In English)

Everyone of you should be a Master. I have shown you how to become a Master; not that you be my disciples forever. The world needs Masters, not disciples. So you'd better grow up. You go out and talk to people about the happy way of life, and see whoever has affinity with you, they will come to you. Then we will give them initiation like you wish. Then you'll have more fellow initiates and your country will be better as you want.

I cannot always physically be there. But if you let the Master power use your body, then you also become a Master. Yes, you become a Master by talking to people, by answering their questions, by letting the wisdom from the most high flow to you. Once you leave your ego and your personal profit, gain, and glory, then you will speak; but not you, the Father, the Buddha inside. God inside will speak to us. So, just be the instrument, and then every one of you is a Master. No one is not a Master. We came from the Master Kingdom and we'll go back to the Master Kingdom. So the earlier you realize this, the better.

I teach you because I want you to become the Master, not my disciples, that's very tiring for me. (Master laughs.) So you do it, okay? Whatever you ask of me, you do it. Because I and you are one. There is no difference. When you talk to people, try not to think that you are doing it, and pray to the Master power inside. Then you will be very surprised that you talk in wisdom, in beauty, and in a virtue that you never knew before. That's the way to be a Master. I also don't know anything. I just talk because the Master talks. That's why you call me a Master. Just copy heaven. Very easy.

Very easy to be a Master. Just let go of your small self, and then you'll be big. Very simple. So try to do what you ask of me, live for other people, help other people, sacrifice yourself; then many of your countrymen will come to you. You have to talk to more people; not to force them, but just introduce to them and let them have a choice. And then the more people you talk to, the more people who have affinity with you will come. For example, if you talk to only one person and that one goes away, then you'll feel disappointed. But if you talk to ten persons, maybe one leaves, one stays behind. You see? So you have to talk to more people anywhere you go, and maybe carry the booklets, or carry your wisdom and your Master with you. Then you will always be helpful to your countrymen.
