Q:
Is it correct to say that You know everything
but You only choose to respond to some thing and another thing You just don't
respond to, even though You know.
M:
I also don't know. (Master and all laugh) These are very intellectual
issues. You know, the mind is different from the soul. The body is different
from the Master power. The body eats, but the Master power doesn't. The body
sleeps; the Master power stays awake 24 hours. The mind responds, and the Master
power just acts with knowledge; it doesn't react.
The Master power has
to be above the body, outside the body and inside the body, in order to know
everything at the same time. And if it's not really necessary, the Master power
does not direct the mind to understand that, or to do anything. If it's really
necessary, then the Master power will direct the mind to do something, to react
to something physically. If not, the Master power just does it in the abstract
sense, outside of the physical realm. Not that the body can understand. Not
that you and I can understand. Not that the brain can understand.
The Master power works
24 hours nonstop. The brain can get tired, get overloaded, get exhausted because
of too much information, too much stress or too much thinking. The Master power
never does. So what you're referring to right now, whether I know or not know,
refers to my brain. In order to know the way you think I should know right now,
I have to use the brain to know the way you think. But that's also the brain's
domain. Knowing is the Master power. The mind can be briefed about it, with
a little information. It doesn't have to know.
If that thing is really
important, the Master makes the mind react, makes me react. "Me," in the physical
sense that you see. However the "me" who is the Master power always does something,
always knows everything, but not in the physical realm. In the physical realm,
if something happens, if something is necessary, then the Master power directs
the body and the mind to do it for that particular thing, particular event,
only. Not everything else that the Master does the body should know, or the
brain should understand, because the brain and the body are limited. They'll
burst, explode, become exhausted, be overpowered, cannot take too much. So,
the Master power does things, not always with the body and with the brain.
Even the physical Master's
body and brain can only take so much. Just like your car, it doesn't matter
if you are a president or King of the Arabian world, you can't drive your car
all day, all night, every day, every night. Even if it's a Rolls Royce, a Volvo,
or a Mercedes, it needs a rest sometimes. It needs gas, it needs a lot of things.
But actually, the Master's body is more than a car, of course. It's different.
But it can get exhausted also, because of the law of the universe, the material
law. So that's why I tell you, just take my teachings, do the meditation, and
don't bother about what the body does or what I'm doing.
