Pearls Of Wisdom

Work Directly With The Wisdom From Within

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.
