We
live in this world for many, many, many, many thousands of
lifetimes, and we collect a lot of enemies. Sometimes we
make mistakes and we disturb other people, we make other
people suffer, or we kill other people. So, this life it
comes back. If this time we don't protect ourselves with
the power of God, then everything can harm us because millions
of billions of troubles are waiting for us.
If
we are protected by the power of God, then we are stronger
in spiritual practice. Then we can even help our enemies
from different lifetimes and elevate them also, instead of
letting them attack us, and make both our enemies and ourselves
drown in the circle of transmigration.

Why
do I sometimes push you to work so hurry, so quickly? It's
because in this way you cannot use your brains to think, but
rather do your work directly with the wisdom from within. Then
you work faster. When you begin to think, to ask others, to
talk, to chat, to discuss, that's when you go wrong.

All
day long we look outwards at both good or bad. We are influenced
by the outside and forget to focus our attention inwards. Therefore,
we do not succeed in most of what we do. Concentration is the
secret of success. The more we meditate and focus our attention,
the more smoothly we can carry out whatever we do.
