To the Most Divine
Lady of the Universe, Supreme Master Ching Hai,
Let us not lead ourselves into temptation, but
let us follow in the footsteps of our Beloved Master in loving,
in caring, in being kind to others and in helping wherever we
can.
One evening I was lying on my cot at the Leeuwkop
Correctional Services facility thinking of Master, and I experienced
the most divine, joyful dream - or was it a dream? Anyway, a non-initiate
would never understand my experience and would probably think
that I was out of my mind. I believed what I saw and I even spoke
to a Catholic Priest and explained my vision to him. The priest
told me that what I experienced was true.
Master, You lifted me out of this world and I
soared up above the clouds, far beyond this world. I have never
seen such beauty in my life - the beautiful, noble animals and
the breathtaking surroundings in the heavenly garden where Master
appeared to me.
In the center of my vision stood a throne covered
in pearls and diamonds, on which Divine Master Ching Hai sat,
smiling beautifully and waiting patiently for me. My words to
Master were: "Am I welcome to see You here in this paradise?"
"Oh, yes!" Master answered, in a very welcoming manner.
I then said to myself, "God, is this true, what I see?"
It was like an answer to my prayers. "Yes, Steven, follow
the beloved Mother of the Universe and She will guide you and
lead you to me and you will be blessed. Only good will come your
way as you follow Master." I next asked Master, "Can
I please stay here?" "No," Master Ching Hai answered.
She went on to say, "Steven, my child, you are not yet ready."
And she laughed at me, being somewhat amused and with deep love
in her heart. Everything was very pure. I asked Master what I
must do to come and stay. She answered, "Become more confident
in yourself and do not love only some while detesting others."
I thought to myself, "How does Master know all this?"
She told me, "Your life was tough with your father and mother;
forgive them. You cannot live on with all that hatred in you."
I then said, "Thank You, Master. I will try my best."
Master smiled and replied, "Don't try; just do it!"
So I prayed, "Master Ching Hai, guide me, pray for me!"
Once more Master leaned back and laughed Her special laugh.
After that, my mind became clear and I felt very
good. I got down on my knees and forgave my father and then said,
"Thank You, Master, for Your guidance and assistance. I believe
in You. God bless You! I know that Your love for me will never
die."
I am now a new person thanks to the Divine Master
Ching Hai!
