Spoken
by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Taipei, Formosa,

Videotape No. 50
Have you become a little bigger? (Audience: Yes.) Yes, you have become
bigger and swollen inside. (Audience laughs.) The better we practice,
the "bigger" we become. This is real strength. Physical
strength is useless. Real strength comes when the Light within us
grows stronger and brighter. Although I cannot nurture you physically,
I do nurture the Light in you so that you grow "bigger"
and "bigger". (Audience laughs and applauds.)
However,
when we attain the high levels, we become smaller instead of bigger.
Only an ocean of Light exists. The higher we are, the smaller and
more purified we become. We are small then but we don't feel the smallness.
We can grow big quickly, or become even smaller or even nothing, just
as we wish.
When
we are at a high level, we do not immediately see the God of that
level just as we want. Instead, we must have good affinities with
that God, who can then manifest to us. Otherwise, Hes is invisible
though omnipresent. Hes is not a crude physical body that can be seen
as soon as we get there. That's not the way it is! If Hes is willing
to be seen, Hes will adjust Hiers vibrations - the intensity and density
of Hiers Light, in order to become visible to us. Hes will show us
one or two manifestations, even if it's just in the form of Light
or a transparent body. Otherwise we cannot see Hirm at all.
Love
Brings Us Closer to God
But that realm is not the highest level. At the highest level, there
is nothing but a very peaceful and loving power. We have not the slightest
idea how to address Hirm. We cannot embrace Hirm but we feel embraced
and loved. We don't know who Hes is, but we do know there is someone
or something. We can feel an extremely compassionate and loving force.
And that is God, Buddha or Creativity.
In this
ephemeral world, we are God as well. When we love our children, neighbors,
and fellow men, we represent God's quality. We develop our love within
and express it through actions. The more we develop our love, the
closer we are to God, the Buddha, the Tao, and the Creativity, because
they are love.
Therefore,
when the founders of religions descended to this planet on behalf
of God or Buddha, they taught only love and compassion. They were
closer to God, the Buddha, and the Supreme love, so they had the greatest
love. Therefore, we feel that God loves us and will take care of all
who come to Hirm. Whether a thousand or a million people come to Hirm,
it seems like Hes is taking care only of us. Did you ever experience
that? (Several people: Yes. Audience applauds.) God is like that.
