Only
the inner Light and Sound can help us in any kind of situation in
this world. So for us, in dealing with any kind of karma, any kind
of burden from the past, present or future, there's nothing else in
this world that we can rely on. The Light and Sound, are the only
methods, the only equipment that God bestowed on us when we descended
into this world so that we can protect ourselves, so that we can remember
the Kingdom of God, so that we can resolve any difficulties and obstructions
on our way to finding the Kingdom of God. Any troubles in this world
- be they in your business, in your family circle or in personal love
relationships - are there actually just to make trouble for you, just
to sidetrack you from the journey back to the Kingdom of God. And
God knows that beforehand so we're given this equipment, the Light
and Sound, so that we can slash them all asunder and then advance
further. Without the Light and Sound, we can never make it back Home
... never, ever. Just like without an airplane, you can not make it
here to Cambodia so fast and trouble-free.
So
any time you have a problem, be it with yourself, with any of your
loved ones, with any kind of employment or businesses, or with anything,
just sit down and meditate. Then the problem will become clearer to
you and you'll know how to solve it, or the problem will just disappear
by itself in time. Sometimes we panic, really because the world seems
to press upon us for certain things, or at a certain time and certain
demand. We panic and say, "Oh, my God! I can't make it. I have
only one more day or half a day and I just don't want to do something
else. I want to do this thing right now and other things just come
making demands on me." But then after we meditate for a while,
the world withdraws its demand on us, or the problem just goes somewhere
else and then we find we panicked for nothing. So, just keep cool.
C-O-O-L. (Laughter) Keep cool, baby (Master and audience laugh), and
everything will be all right.
Listen
to your intuition inside. Sometimes it's difficult. You have to see
which is the strongest voice and remain steadfast on that strongest
intuition because sometimes you feel like you should do this, continue
to do this job, but some other people come and demand that you do
another job, and the other people come to tell you that this is better
and it's no use now - "It's going to be no use. You'd better
run fast in the other direction and do this, that and that."
But then you feel inside that you should do this, but it makes you
feel like you're in a struggle and torn apart from different directions.
Then you need to sit down and meditate and listen to your own Buddha
voice, the intuitive voice inside, the silent voice that tells you
what to do. Or at least stay calm and you can see clearly for yourself
which direction is better for you.
I
tell you all these things from experience. I'm not telling them to
you from a book. Books don't teach us this kind of thing, not too
many. And it always works because where else can we run and what else
can we use to deal with the world as it is? There's so much overwhelming
suffering, so much nonsense, so much pressure on us small creatures,
and sometimes we really don't know what to do and it makes us feel
very anxious, very restless. Meditating on the Light and on the Sound
are the only things we can do in such times of necessity.
