I'll tell you an example. I was at an initiate's house and they were planting trees. But they were planting trees for themselves, to earn money, and it was their own personal work. Here, you plant trees, but it's not for yourselves; it's for everyone -- for the initiates, for the practitioners who come and enjoy. We have just one motive, which is to serve others. Of course, it's also for ourselves, but it's not a personal business at all.

There, they also cook, but they do it only for themselves, to satisfy themselves. Here you also cook, some are planting, some are doing videos, some are doing cassettes, or some are doing other things, but all with the same motive, which is for humanity, for all beings at large. And this is so comfortable and so beautiful for me. I don't know how to express it, but I feel the grand difference when I am in the Center.

That's why I said to you that when you work in this kind of service, your karma is cleaned fast. For example, if you pay one dollar, one dollar, one by one, it takes a long time. But if you pay all at once, it's fast, immediately gone. Now, to do this kind of job, it's just like you pay all at once because many people will use this. Therefore, your debt is gone. If we do it only for one person or only for one employer, for the self-serving motive to earn money to take care of our body and our life, then of course, the benefit is like that only. But when we do this kind of job, not for ourselves to gain any benefit, to get any money from it, but for the benefit of many, many people, then of course our job is on a grander scale. The merit is greater and therefore, our karma is cleaned very quickly.

We owe the world so much and now we pay so much also. Only in this way, can we pay back quickly. Otherwise, how? We owe so many people; we owe the whole humanity many things. If we don't pay the whole of humanity back again, but we pay one person, two persons, three persons, oh, it takes ages! We live in this world; we owe the whole world. Some we owe some grass, some we owe the road, some we owe clothes, some we owe rice. Only by paying the whole world back can we be cleansed. We owe to many people, so we have to pay to many people. And this kind of job allows us to pay many people at once because many people will use this Center. That's how we pay the whole total. That's why our karma is cleaned so fast.

We are born in this world. We owe many persons. This one for rice, this one for clothes, this one for..... Everyone is our benefactor, and some we can pay by direct contact, like our father, mother, children, or teacher. We give them money, we give them love; some of these persons we can pay. Others too far away, maybe we pay by taxes or benefit them something. Maybe a little bit further over there. But we cannot pay another country. If it's in our country, maybe we can pay taxes and make it equal somewhat. Medical techniques, chemical discoveries and everything from different countries, imports, exports, et cetera, how do we thank them all or pay them all, directly or indirectly?

So now, we have a Center here; Costa Rica. You come here and make toilets, dig for water, plant trees, and build the meditation hall. You cut the grass, make the road, make the yard for people to sit in, and all the international people come here and enjoy. So, you pay the whole thing all in one go.
