nitiation
is not really initiation... you just come here and let me help you help
yourself. I have not come here to make you disciples... I have come
to help you become Masters.

Everyone already knows
how to meditate, but you meditate on the wrong things. Some people meditate
on pretty girls, some on money, some on business. Every time you pay
full attention, whole-heartedly, to one thing, that is meditation. I
pay attention only to the inner Power, to the Compassion, the Love and
Merciful qualities of God.

Initiation means the
beginning of a new life into a new order. It means that the Master has
accepted you to become one of the beings in the circle of Saints. Then
you are no longer an ordinary being, you are elevated. In the old times
they called it "Baptism" or "Taking Refuge in the Master."

A
fully divine person is a fully-human being. A fully-human being is fully
divine. Right now we are only half a human being. We do things with
hesitation, we do things with ego. We don't believe that it is God who
arranges all this for our enjoyment, for our experience. We separate
sin and virtue. We make a big deal out of everything, and accordingly
judge ourselves and other people. We suffer from our own limitations
about what God should do. Understand? Actually God is inside us and
we limit Hirm. We like to enjoy ourselves and play, but we don't know
how. We just say to others, 'Ah! You shouldn't do that,' and to ourselves,
"I shouldn't do that. I must not do this. So why should I be vegetarian?'
Yeah, I know. I am vegetarian because the God inside me wants it.
~ Supreme Master Ching Hai ~
When we are pure in
our deeds, speech and thoughts, even for a second, all the deities,
the gods and the guardian angels will support us. At that moment, the
entire universe belongs to us and supports us, and the throne is there
for us to reign upon.

Find
your own Everlasting Treasure and you will be able to draw from its
Inexhaustible Source. This is Infinite Blessings! I have no words to
advertise it with. I can only praise it and hope that you believe my
praise, and that my energy will somehow affect your heart and lift you
to that kind of joyous feeling, and then you will believe. After initiation,
you will truly know the meaning of my words. I have no way to convey
to you this Great Blessing, which God has bestowed on me, and gave me
the right to distribute, free of charge and conditions.

We
take some karma from the people around us, by looking at them, by thinking
about them, when sharing a book or a meal, et cetera. This is how we
bless people and reduce their karma. This is why we practice, to spread
the Light and dispel the darkness. Blessed are those who give us some
of their karma. We are happy to help them.

In
the human language we talk nonsense all the time. We always have to
blah, blah, blah about everything. We have to compare, we have to value,
we have to identify, we have to give a name to everything. But, the
Absolute, if it is the true Absolute, you couldn't even speak about
it. You cannot talk about it. You cannot even think about it. You cannot
imagine it. There is nothing. Understand?
