You don’t know my dog(-people). You have to clean them up four, five times a day. Every time, clean twice. You see, first you clean with a vinegar solution to wipe out or whatever, disinfect, and then you have to wipe it with damp water cloth again, to take away the residues of the vinegar water because I don’t want them to smart their eyes. If it’s on their paws, they might rub their eyes, and their eyes will be teary – it smarts and hurts. So you have to clean, like, instead of 10 dog-people, you can count like 20 dog-people, because it’s cleaned double.
Anybody else want to ask any questions? How come the men are so polite? (I mean any question is not just for the sister, but it’s for everybody who’s sitting up there.) Anyone else want to ask questions? Oh, that’s good. It’s getting hot now. Heated up.
(If things get really rough, like, for example, Master scolds you for [seemingly] no reason, and it’s just work, work, work all day, and you know...) No “thank you.” (And even not healthy, or very, very tired, will you still be able to bear it, or even be happy in a way?) (Yes, of course I would.) Happy is exaggerated! At least to bear it, that’s already good. How can you be happy when somebody scolds you? (I find it would be interesting to be even... to see your strengths, and to develop yourself. And yes, it’s...) You’ll bear it, you mean. Now is talking only, so, of course she said she’d bear it. OK, let’s hope she remembers her talk today. We recorded it even. So, when the situation comes, I will take the tape out, and let her listen to her own talk. Any more questions? That was a very good question.
(I just would like to propose not to put too much pressure on one person but go with questions around maybe.) Oh, well, OK. Wow. You feel sorry for her. Well, they are almost similar questions anyway. You know what? For now, one, two, three, four – four of them will answer. Any of them can answer. Oh, no. It’s already done, these. We let them be done. OK, one, two, three, four. These four now can answer any of the questions together or choose to answer. OK, now, go ahead, ask! You have to begin by telling why you want to come, etc., etc., and then they will ask you questions, if they doubt your sincerity. No, you. Who? Oh, you haven’t talked yet? You want to volunteer? OK.
(I’m 27 and single, and I think Master is the only person I really love.) Oh, my God! Twenty-seven! How do you know that? You’re so young. (Yes, because I had already a boyfriend, but I still feel it’s not the real love that I am searching for, and...) How about a girlfriend? (No.) No? It’s not your… (Then You can be my “girlfriend.”) …not your type. I am not that type! I’m not the girlfriend type! (No, I just want to help You, Master.) Oh, help me. (Every time when You tell us stories like in Malaga, that it took You 36 hours’ drive to go there, then I thought I can drive You because I’m a very experienced driver.) You are? (Yes, I can drive almost any vehicle...) Oh, OK. (...up to seven and a half tons. And I did already. And I’m good with computers, and I learned some shooting also.) Some what? Photos. (Shooting with a video camera.) Just don’t shoot me. (Filming and editing.) Oh, we’ll see. Alright. OK. We’ll see. What else?
Anybody want to ask her? Yeah, here, here. Look, you have a candidate already. He wants to ask first. Let him first and then you second. I saw you first. (Well, it was a general question. It was just that there are now 12 people. Well, there are ten young ladies and two men. And I wondered how the men were going to manage getting on sharing with the ladies, how they felt about it?) (It’s four men.) Four men? (Oh, is there four? Sorry, I didn’t see.) Four or two, it doesn’t matter. It’s the same. So, you worry about that? (Well, you know, they’re young guys, and there are some young girls there and you know… Just wondered.) I wonder myself! (How they thought they’re going to get on.) I also wonder myself! So how will you deal with that? (Deal with what?) I don’t know, he said that the men, and together with women like this, young men and young women, how are you going to deal with it? (Where’s the problem?) Where is the problem? (We’re just brothers and sisters, so...) Just sisters and brothers! (Yes!) OK. Hopefully, hopefully, they remember their relation as relatives, clan members.
Questions? (Do you think that loving Master means also loving all beings who are with Master?) (Yes, I think so. Of course, if we love Master, then it also means that we love every being on this world.) Are you happy with that? (Yes, OK.) Anything else? (No.) No. OK, good. (Thank You.) You’re welcome. (Thank you too, brother.) You’re welcome. Who else? Yeah. Any questions? You stated your reason already. Somebody else wants to say why she wants to come and stay with us, with my dog-people?
(I am another Estonian sister, and actually, I’m living in Finland. I have been living for almost seven years alone, and I am almost living together with another sister initiate, from Romania. She’s over there. And we have been spending all our free time helping to do Master’s work, and we are like colleagues working together. And then we know that always if there would be a chance, we would like to come and work for You, just spend our free time dedicating it to You. And now it just happened that we both applied, but actually she was not chosen and…) She’s not. (She was not, but...) She’s not coming yet. (She’s not coming yet. But I know that if it would have been vice versa, then I would have supported her to go. And now she is kind of supporting me.) Oh, does she? She’s not quizzing you? No. OK. Good.
Any questions for this lady or this group of four people? Yes. (When Master is delegating work, and perhaps if both of you are good at something, but Master repeatedly gives the task to someone else, and there is a lot of karma... Not saying that you’re bad, but it always happens. How would you deal with) Jealousy. (that natural sense of jealousy or rivalry that naturally would occur in that situation?) How would you deal with that? Wow, they think of many things I could not imagine. Good ideas! Answer! Thank you for protecting me.
How? (No, if the situation is very complicated and very fast, you have to act really fast, and I would just try to calm myself down and pray inside for the inner Master to help me. That what I will do is the right act to do. Or then I would ask some other initiates what their opinions are and then would choose…) You don’t ask anybody in my house. There’s nobody there. Only these people. (Then I will pray for the inner Master just to guide me that this thing that I will do is the right thing to do.) No, she asked you how you’d deal with the jealousy. (What will I do?) If both of you… (But it’s the same way – that I will ask the inner Master just to calm me down, and then just to keep me on track.)
Are you happy with her answer? (In theory, it’s all beautiful but…) Curious? (No. I said, in theory, it’s all beautiful. I would say the same thing, but, we’re human.) (That goes with anything, though.) Goes with anything! (Inside or outside, working with Master, not working with Master, we have to work together here, everywhere, and so...)
OK. Can any of you, the eleven of you, keep secrets? (Yes.) Because sometimes you stay in my house, but you leak information out just for a favor for somebody. Have you got any information from my house, up to now? Any of you? (No.) No, none? (None.) No favor? (No.) OK, at least. Good.
Any more questions? There, behind there. My God, now he has a chance, he will quiz. (Is it for me?) (Sister, if you are) Any. (there for many, many months, and there’s nothing to do – you’re just taking care of dog[-people], you’re just making lunch. It’s not the great fantastic illusion that you had, and there are many days you’re just doing mundane tasks like cleaning up, and... Would you start to get bored and maybe start feeling regret?) Yeah, for a doctor. (I have a PhD. Yes, but I really love animal[-people]. We have been joking with the sister all the time that if we would have one day a chance to work for Master, that I would take care of Her dog[-people]. And she would just water the plants, and we would be very happy.)
You don’t know my dog(-people). You have to clean them up four, five times a day. Every time, clean twice. You see, first you clean with a vinegar solution to wipe out or whatever, disinfect, and then you have to wipe it with damp water cloth again, to take away the residues of the vinegar water because I don’t want them to smart their eyes. If it’s on their paws, they might rub their eyes, and their eyes will be teary – it smarts and hurts. So you have to clean, like, instead of 10 dog-people, you can count like 20 dog-people, because it’s cleaned double. That’s not to talk about when they mess about in the mud, and you have to wash them all together with shampoo and dry and everything. Then that would be like 30 dog(-people) at that time.
When it rains, they love the mud! They go and smear themselves all over, and that vinegar and water wipe won’t affect them. You can clean them 100 times with vinegar paper and vinegar towel, it doesn’t work. You just have to wash them and shampoo them. And one of my dog-people is very bad at that. He smears himself on anything, and he loves it. I don’t know if he loves the bath afterward or he really loves the mud. I don’t know. Not just mud, anything that he likes to… You know, Hermit, the Australian Shepherd. The blue eyes. Oh, he loves to smear himself with all kinds of so-called “perfume.” God. Sometimes it stinks terribly.
Somebody has questions? Anything else you want to ask her? She loves animal(-people). What he means is... Of course, if you love animal-people, then it’s no problem. But what he means is that, not just about animal-people, what he means is actually like, if you are given a job that’s so boring that you don’t even dream of doing it, what would you feel, and what will be your reaction? That’s what he means. Right? (Yes.) But if you love dog-people, then it’s like a reward. It’s not a job anymore! How can she be bored? (She’s got a trick answer.) Yeah!
(Yes, I have been reading that working for a Buddha, or being a Buddha’s disciple, that it can happen that you work the whole day just cleaning the floor, and you just have to learn how to control your mind, that you don’t kind of think, “What am I doing now, this thing? And it’s so boring! And now I’m in front of Master and just doing this thing. If I could earn so much money outside at work.” So I just think that it’s also kind of really a chance for me to just put myself really down.) OK, are you happy with that answer? (Yes, I mean I love your answer. But what I meant was, after a while, you don’t see there’s Buddha there. You don’t see there’s Buddha. You just see... You don’t even see there’s Master there because you get so used to Her, you see Her every day.)
(Yes, I have also heard from some residents speaking that, when they have spent a long time with Master, when they get scolded, it’s very hard for them to kind of just control themselves.) Because they think they know everything already, I don’t need to scold them anymore, I mean, at least in the household. So, what happened? (They have said also that it’s like a very critical situation, they feel that inside they really would like to walk out and just leave, and then, “That’s it. I can’t take it anymore!” But just somehow, they can really put everything down. “No. What is the main goal behind [this]? Why did I come here at all?” And then finally they can just settle down, and maybe when they meditate, they see that it was just a trick of maya again. Because maya is the strongest probably also when you go next to Master. He’s really trying to put you down.)
Because your karma works so fast there also, so, you have to take more than normal. Outside, you work leisurely, but when it’s near, you have to work very fast. The karma turns so fast. And in order to clean fast, you have to take everything in. It’s not like usual outside. But that’s difficult for everybody to bear, I have to tell you honestly. I don’t know if I could bear it myself if I were to be a disciple. So, it’s up to you guys. You have a choice always. You’re free. So, you see how many people want to walk out on me. You see that now? You see, it leaked out! Who told you this? (Some messengers, they have been around.) Ah, messengers. (Messengers said that previous years, like early years when they had been with Master.) Yeah, yeah, of course. (But, of course, mainly they only said good things, just that sometimes they mentioned it.) OK. Right. Mainly good things.
