Now you see, God can even destroy the whole world if the world is not good. If we are not good, then just like machines which are rusted and of no use, we have to be destroyed and made into new instruments. The same substance made into new instruments. For example, when you go to a garage or someplace, people buy or tow back ruined cars or damaged metal parts and apparatus. Then, they press them into big lumps of metal, put a lump here and a lump there, and they will be made into new apparatus, new instruments. These useless metal pieces will become useful again.

They're not lost; they're not wasted; they're not thrown away, but just made into new things. This is similar to all kinds of hells or retributions. It's just to melt us to destroy some of the bad qualities, to make us into new, useful persons again.

Sometimes we think the Earth is an inert place, with no feelings. But sometimes we feel that she has some power, some feelings and some arrangement. She supports everything, and transmutes all dirty things into beautiful things. But sometimes she can't bear some bad people. So she kicks them out through disasters; or swallows them up, digests them, and puts them in the bottom of her stomach, out of sight.

You see now. Even though if we don't have wars, we have natural disasters. It seems this is a natural evolution or natural arrangement, to regulate the world, to make things maybe more beautiful or more balanced, and to destroy some decayed and useless part of the world, or maybe some very ugly mentalities in some part of a population in the world.

Sometimes we cling to the existence of the world. Of course we feel sorry when some things are destroyed. But maybe it's good; because to us, these are beautiful, but in God's plan, they are not. For example, some very rich families, when they move into new estates, the old houses are destroyed, and all the things inside are burned and thrown away. Many poor inhabitants in the surrounding areas would feel very sorry about the houses and the things inside. But for the rich people, they are garbage and of no use whatsoever. They have many more beautiful things. They will replace them after the old things are destroyed and made invisible. And in place of those old and ruined houses, they build palaces.

But this is difficult to accept, because really our world is not easy to understand. God is even more difficult to understand. So never mind if you don't understand Hirm, that you don't understand the world. We can try at least to understand ourselves, who we are, to find our real nature, our real purpose, and then, maybe we'll be happy. At least we can start from ourselves. It's good to trust God. But since every wise person has told us that God is within us, then, we can try to find it. To find ourselves means to find the God within. I hope God blesses us. If I can help you in any way, I will try. But everything works according to God's will.
