Earth Mother Spoken
By Supreme Master Ching Hai |

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.
