Try to be simple-hearted a bit; it’s better for your spiritual practice. Don’t just sit there and think about those things. How can we explain the higher realms? I only explained it temporarily. Not that after I explained it, then you just sit there and analyze it forever. Just like the love between a couple; how can we analyze it? She loves me, then she has to do this and that. It’s not like that, right? What she does is only one of the actions, but the love can’t be analyzed. The realm above is even higher than the realm of romantic love. How can we sit there and talk about it? Because you keep asking about it, so I have to explain it like that temporarily. You don’t know that realm, but keep imagining it like this or that, then you yourself build a wall to block it. Because you say, “Master said that when we arrive there, it’ll be like that, so I will not go, I will stay here.” Don’t be like that, okay?
The more you reason, the harder for you to practice spiritually. Why is it hard to practice, do you know? Because those who reason a lot, their mind is so complicated. That’s why they can reason like that. But a little kid, if you tell him to reason like that, he could not do it. I tell him things, he doesn’t understand at all, but he loves me very much. He connects with me. He meditates and sees me, then he’s very happy and becomes smarter and improves in his study. He doesn’t care what I said.
It is not that those people are bad. But because they are trapped in complicated situations. They get used to reasoning already, so it is hard for them to practice spiritually. So normally, those who are highly educated or know how to reason a lot, it is hard for them to practice spiritually. But the old ladies, they sat there and saw Buddha, God and everything, you see? Is that right? (Yes, that’s right.)
Listening to those old ladies telling their inner experiences, you would crave them to “death”! But the men with doctorate degrees, sometimes they don’t know anything, don’t know what she is talking about? Why did Master go to her home? Why didn’t Master visit me at my house? Who dares go to his house? If I go to his house, he would sit there and he tries to outdo me in wit, then I would have a terrible headache! “In the Bible, it says, ‘Jesus is the one and only Savior.’ ‘Anyone can be the savior, because the Christ power is inside us.’ Jesus is the one and only Son of God.” But in the Bible, it also said, “We are all children of God,” right? And in the Bible, it also said: “You must know that: You’re the temple and God lives within you.” But they kept denying it, and always said: “No, that’s not possible. You are sinful. God can’t possibly dwell within you. There is only Jesus. Only Him alone”. This and that. They always said that. And Jesus also said, “Whatever I can do, you can also do.” Buddha also said: “I have become a Buddha, you all will become Buddhas.” He didn’t say that He’s the only one.
In case you encounter difficulties in spiritual practice, don’t say this Method is not good. Why is it not good? Even old ladies can practice it. Children can practice it. The kids have a lot of spiritual experiences. Those old ladies have pure souls. They practice with an unworried heart, so they can sit peacefully and have spiritual experiences, then they are relaxed, and in good spirit. And you keep thinking; it’s too tiring. Why is it tiring?
Why does thinking too much bind us? Because we are stuck in the circle of reasoning. Reasoning is at a level where we still use language, what is it called? Analyzing. Analyzing belongs to the mind; it doesn’t belong to a realm of inaction. I said inaction so that you understand. Otherwise, it’s too tiring to keep talking about it.
