MUSICAL STATE OF THE HUMAN SOUL,

GRATITUDE AND CONTENTMENT

 

The Master wished there to be joint lunches at Izgreva, because they bring people closer, the disciples feel like a family, and thus is developed a new consciousness. Often after meals we sang a few songs and a conversation began, which was initially concerning accidental matters, but then it would elevate and gain an ideological nature. Here is what the Master said at one of the joint lunches:

 

You are making an excellent journey in the Universe, you are travelling free of charge on a ship. Whatever do you have to complain about? You see sky and ground, and when you pass through somewhere, they start greeting you with rockets - shooting stars. Sometimes they greet you with a star that has a tail - a comet. The Sun has risen for you, the stars also emerge one after another for you. The flowers spread aroma for you. What more do you want? The present humanity has to express gratitude not for the big things, but for those small ones - that the rays caress you, that the wind breathes coolness, etc. Why do we not give thanks for that? At some moment your consciousness might be awake, and namely for that you should than be thankful. Why is man full of thousands of thoughts and wishes that are not his? Without opening or reading them, send them away from you.

 

They have loved you a lot to send you on a walk with the Earth. If you decide to pay, only your ticket will cost billions, and gold at that. Be thankful for walking in the Heavens with the entire Earth and the entire Solar system. To give thanks is the best. And with that it will not remain. In the future there will be better things.

 

Each person must give thanks for the air, for the light, for the water, for the bread, for the health, for that he has shelter, for everything he should give thanks. Give thanks that God has provided you with conditions to develop yourselves. Thank God for the little, for it carries the large. He who gives the little, will give the large as well. When you pass the test, as Job in the womb of the whale, you will then go to work. Thank God that you are in one Great school, where you have to learn, and that you are in a world where you have all possibilities. When we learn well, we will be well.

 

A sister said that she was going to the village.

 

Do not worry. Rejoice and be happy like a child. God has thought over everything for you. There is nothing we should not be thankful to God for, we live in a world of abundance. I confess that I owe debts to Nature. In order to repay the oxen for wearing shoes made from their hide, I will stop an ox, pat him, and tell him to forgive me. He will reply, "It is all right". All oxen are one. When you sympathize with the oxen, you are already repaying. When you eat pears, apples, put yourself in their position, it is easy to understand. Realize the sacrifice of the trees whose fruit you are eating, thank them, and sympathize with them. For each berry of the grape that you eat, you have to give thanks.

 

Be happy and look above, from where God watches. Rejoice at the grass, at the bugs, at the river, rejoice even when you cry. It has been said, "Sing and praise at all times God in your heart". Thank God three times a day for the good that He has invested in your mind, in your heart, and in your soul. Our hearts should each day be filled with gratitude for what we see. We see untold riches. We do not value how much the picture that surrounds us is worth - clear sky, blue heights, nice spring, flowing through the grasses. Now you have to pass on a telegram through the radio to the Sun, that you are grateful for today. A good day like this is irreplaceable, it cannot be bought with money, it contains vast wealth. In each moment something new comes, and throughout the entire eternity you will be receiving and learning. During the whole day do what is in accordance with the Divine, because when you come back in the evening, you can be silent, calm, joyous, and harmonious.

 

We sang a few songs and the Master said:

 

Let us thank Him who has created in us organs of the voice.

 

They say that dissatisfaction stimulated. That is an incorrect apprehension. Only Love stimulates the people. And dissatisfaction shows that you have not acted the way you are supposed to. Since you do not act according to the Faith, the Hope, and the Love, you are dissatisfied. When the felicities come, give thanks to God; and when the sufferings come, give thanks again. Everything that God has allowed into the world will be transformed into good. The grief brings material for the Joy. The Joy is an acquired material, and the grief is what was sown. In the coming year, the grief will bring you joy. Give thanks that you are sick, and heal yourself again. When a man falls, he should give thanks. And when he gets up, he should give thanks. In the greatest sufferings you should say, "It is for the good". It is a great thing, when you are in contradictions, to be thankful to God. Your character is being tried then. Why, you are not alone. Thousands and millions of people take part in the difficulties which you are in. Those who want to take up the New teaching should first be content with the unfavourable conditions. Thousands of people are suffering around you and you are not paying attention to them. God has allowed for you to suffer, so that you do not pay attention to the sufferings of the others. Do not be discouraged and do not say, "Nothing will come of me". When you thank God for the good, it grows. When you give thanks for the suffering, it goes away. When you do not give thanks for the good, it goes away. When you do not give thanks for the suffering, it remains and grows. These are four laws in Nature.

 

When the Angel gives you weal and you are unsatisfied, he will decrease it. And when you are satisfied, he will give you more. That, which you are thankful for, grows and produces fruit. And that, for which you do not give thanks, melts away and eventually nothing is left. Thankfulness is a prayer. When a person thanks, he is already praying. When a thought for God comes, man should always be thankful and pleased. Always learn to have a thankful heart. Food is sent superabundantly to all living creatures on the Earth, however, the distribution of the food is not correct. If you give thanks for the good which God has given you, you will climb higher.
