Готов превод Каквото вържете на земята - 25.12.1921-НБ-406 / ...: 25.12.1921-НБ-406 Whatever you Bind on Earth "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 18:18) This verse is a trump card, the greatest trump card in the hands of the church and of the ministers, of the orthodox - that whatever they bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatsoever they loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Therefore, they say, "If you do not listen to us, we bind, but if you listen to us, we loose." I will take this wool to comb it a little on my carder and, like the carder who rattles, I will rattle it. Who binds? - The one who is strong. Who unties? The strong one again. That is right. But who is a strong man? - The clever one. And who is clever? - The good one. Therefore, the strong, the smart, the good man can bind and untie on earth and in heaven. But to tie what? - Now Christ has said this, but they take this verse and adjust it accordingly, as a merchant adjusts his accounts. He has two invoices: one for the real price that he bought the goods at, and another dummy invoice for the price he should sell them at. So there are two invoices. Untie those who were bound of evil, untie the imprisoned; if you untie those bound on earth, they will also be untied up in heaven. Connect someone with the good: the person who drowns in the sea, tie him with the lifeline. Now in your philosophy, you take the position of that gypsy who is mentioned in an anecdote. What was that situation? When the wife of a gypsy fell ill, he started praying to the Lord: “Lord, I need this gypsy woman, who will beg, who will feed me? If you heal her, I have a mare, I will sell it and I will light a big candle for you with the money." And indeed, his wife was healed. True to his promise, he untied the mare, but also took out a cat, tied it to the mare's tail and took them to the market - the cat and the mare, to sell them both. A buyer asked, "How much do you want for the horse?" - "Sixty coins." - "And for the cat?" - "300 groschen." - "Why is that?" - "That is if you want them both, if not, I am not selling them." The horse is promised to the Lord, and the cat remains for the gypsy. He wants 60 coins for the mare and 300 groschen. So modern people often take both the cat and the mare, and sell them together. They are true, then, to the letter of the law. To the Lord - as He promised - He will light a candle for 60 coins. However, his wife will not get sick only once, she may get sick a second time. “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” And these are the reasons - according to what we do on earth, they will do to us above, for that is exactly what the Lord does. Here is the law of cause and effect. The reason, it is a connection: if we bind something on earth, it will be bound in heaven, and if we untie something on earth, it will be untied in heaven - it is a consequence. If we bind on earth, it will be bound... Now, these words of Christ are a little abstract, aren't they? But abstract things, hidden things in life, they are pleasant. What is hidden is valuable; what is far away is pure. Close things, external things, they have depreciated. And when you want to express a grand idea, you say that it is great, boundless. Then your mind realizes the value of this idea. Now we can untie and bind, but when? We need to understand these laws thoroughly. Because if you bind someone and after 100 years you bind yourself in his place, and if you untie someone and after 100 years you untie yourself, what do you get out of it? When you study the law of heredity, you will see fathers and mothers binding and untying, i.e. they bring up their children well or badly, and they bind and untie themselves. Therefore, everything we bind and everything we untie in life will be bound and untied. You understand now. In order to make my point a little clearer, I will tell you: you have all studied arithmetic, you have dealt with the divisibility of numbers. How much is each number divisible by? For example, how many are the numbers from 1 to 10 divisible by? First of all, they are divisible by 1 and themselves. And then, some of them are divisible by other numbers as well: 4 is divisible by 2, 6 is divisible by 2 and 3, 8 is divisible by 4 and 2, 9 is divisible by 3. These are the numbers from 1 to 10. Have you considered the divisibility of the numbers from 10 to 100 - from 100 to 1000? You will say, "So what, if a number is divisible?" - Where a number is divisible, it is the weak side. Therefore, the weak side of 4 is the 2. The 4 - this is a man, right? He is resilient, rich, stingy, he gives nothing, does not care, beats the servants. But when a woman comes and divides him, all the wealth goes out of his purse. - He is divisible into two. Man and woman are symbols. Do not take this comparison literally. Man and woman are symbols of those laws and forces that work in life. Therefore, everyone should find out what he is divisible into. Those people who are divided a lot, they are called unstable compounds in chemistry. There is a constant connection and decomposition there - unstable compounds, you cannot rely on such a connection. When Christ tells His disciples, "Whatever you bind...", He speaks to disciples who understand the laws of the kingdom of God and comply with these laws. "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven." Do not think that you can bind something without the will of God, i.e. understanding those laws that work in life. You cannot eat anything that you want. I have listened to many heroes say, "I can eat everything." Yes, you can eat everything, but then there will be writhing. You cannot eat everything. You will eat only what you love and what suits your nature. Therefore, we can bind and untie in life. But we can soften the conditions, untie our karma, it means that it will ripen, and we can also tie our karma. We can improve life, and we can make it worse. A person who has lived for 20 years can also ruin his life with one word. What does it cost you to bring just one small match to that bomb that was placed at home, to light the wick? A bomb is a force created against enemies, but this bomb may also explode among friends. And Christ says to His disciples, "Whatever you bind..." do not bind, do not set rules, as the Hebrew prophet says: "You tie rules on rules and you do not want to lift them with your finger," it is not about such rules. Now, in order to understand the thought of Christ, you have to return, men and women, to that pure, rational state from which man has departed. For 8,000 years, men and women have been moving away from Nature. And they are so far away now that neither the woman is a woman nor the man is a man. And if you today compared men, as well as women, to their primary original, do you know what a funny caricature you would see? Not only should the woman have a female form, and the man - a male form. No. What should be hidden in a female form? All the great virtues have to be hidden, all the noblest thoughts and feelings have to be hidden. The woman is the bearer of the most sublime in the world - of that tenderness which is stored in her. The woman can build and the man can create, but only what is reasonable. If you look at the workings of men and women, you will see how many women are women of Love, and how many men are men of Wisdom. The man has to keep repeating to the woman, "Do you know that I am a man?" Well, does the woman not know that you are a man? He says every day, "You must know that I am a man." What does this mean? When the rich man becomes poor, he talks a lot about his wealth and says, "Once upon a time, when my father was alive, we used to have..." When you lose things, you talk a lot about them. And the woman says to her husband, "You must know that I am a woman." - Well, what a woman? - "I am weak, you should not make me work." Well, no. The man says to the woman, "You must know that I am a man, I am the head of the house. And because I am a head, you should not push me." However, both the woman and the man are pushing. I will now give you as an example a short story to explain my thought. But you will take everything I tell you, figuratively. I have taken this little story from American life, from an unpublished novel, an unwritten diary in which the heroine is Mary Clinton. That was the name of this young lady, the daughter of a professor, with a high education, noble in character. When she graduated from college, she met a friend of hers - because the colleges are mixed there - a young colleague named James. After talking for a long time about ideas, about friends, James fell in love with Mary. One day he confessed his love to her and said, "I cannot live without you, I want to kiss you." She asked him, "Have you not kissed another woman before?" - "One first cousin, I have only kissed her." - "Well, it is not a big mistake, first cousin; you will be able to kiss me.” He kisses her. A year later he finished college, but in the second year he married another rich girl. Mary wrote in her diary: "The one who kissed his first cousin and kissed me, married a rich woman." The second one who met her was named Richard. He also fell in love with Mary, and he also confessed his love to her: "I cannot live without you, I want to kiss you." She asked him, "Have you kissed another woman?" - "I had two cousins, I only kissed them." She thought, "It is not a big sin - two cousins; I was kissed by one, I can give something more of myself." And he also kissed her. But a year later he married a millionaire woman. And Mary wrote, "The one who kissed his two cousins and kissed me, married a millionaire woman." Finally came the third character, named Alfred. He also fell in love, he also confessed his love, and he also wanted to kiss her. Mary Clinton asked again, "Have you not kissed another woman?" - "I have not kissed any woman!" - "Well, I do not want you to soil your mouth with mine, because my mouth is unclean. I am not giving you a kiss." Now she did not know what would come out of him, because no woman had ever kissed him. She wondered. A year later, this Alfred wrote a poem in honor of Mary Clinton: he praised her - he became a poet. She wrote again: “The one who had kissed his first cousin and me, married a rich woman; the one who had kissed his two cousins and me, married a millionaire; and the one who has not kissed any woman - became a poet." So the first two got married, ended up with the material, but she told the third one, who had not kissed at all: "I have nothing to sacrifice to you, because two of them kissed me, and you have not kissed anyone." He became a poet, and Mary Clinton remained as an ideal in his mind. Now all things on earth have their deep causes. Both in public life and in religious life, whatever we do has a reason. This reason can be real, it can also be fictitious. We may believe in God only to improve our situation. It is not a deep reason in us. We may sometimes profess disbelief, without it being deep inside us. Faith and disbelief, it is fashionable today. I have also explained it another time: when someone says that he believes or does not believe, I determine: you believe because you have not lost the object yet. You have a rich friend or relative, you expect an inheritance from him, don't you? You talk about him with sweet words. You believe in him, but one day, when he dies and leaves you nothing, you no longer believe in him. Why? - Because there is no object. The reason for our modern faith is due to money. Christ says, "He who wants to bind and loose..." can only do so in two ways: through Love and through Wisdom - this is the idea that is not expressed here, in the verse. Love always binds, it never unties. Someone says, "You are free, you walk like a bear," but you see a woman - you are bound. The maiden is also free, but when she gives birth to a child, she is bound; when that child cries in the cradle... love has bound her. But one thing is to be bound by a child, and another thing is to be bound by your money in the safe-deposit box! The child will cry, you will caress him. You can also caress the money, but they do not cry and they cannot talk to you. But the child is bound, so the woman is also bound, and they both always have responsibilities. And who unties? - Wisdom. Therefore, when you send your child, your son, to school, what will he be untied from? - From those misconceptions about love. And the mother says, "My child's tongue is loose." But sometimes, when his tongue is loosened, the son becomes stubborn, wayward, disobedient. Wisdom has untied him. Therefore, Christ says, “Whatever you bind with Love on earth will be bound with Love in heaven; and whatever you loose with Wisdom on earth will be loosed in heaven." So, someone tries to untie himself with Love and cannot, you have to be very smart, very smart. I have studied many cases. You know, there is one art, it is Love. Whoever understands this great law of Love, he is Divine, and whoever understands Wisdom, he can untie. In these two great laws are hidden the conditions under which we can build the future home and find our future friends. And not as the current states and societies are - look what they are. You can mathematically calculate how many years each country may live. The Russians say that the Slav is strong with his back mind. Therefore, the Slav knows how to bind, but does not know how to untie. If you bind all your friends when the enemy attacks you, who will fight for you? How will you bind your enemies? Hatred, it is another type of binding. If you quarrel with all your good friends, one day, when misfortunes come to your life, who will help you? So the language has to be altered - through the law of Love: when you bind your friend, there is a key, tell him: "I am binding you temporarily." But when you want to untie him: "You will unlock it with this key" - give him the key, do not say: "When I bind you, I will untie you." I would like those in the church to say that to their congregation or believers, to give them the key to untying themselves. The key to the untying is the Divine Wisdom. And if you do not give the key, then you do not believe in them, and if you do not believe in them, then you cannot love them. A person who does not believe in me, cannot love me. Others may say, "But you do not believe in me either." Well, what do you want me to believe in? - In you? If you sacrifice all your possessions for the poor, I believe in you. If you can live well with your wife, I believe in you. If you are a statesman and make good laws - to improve society, I believe in you. Can I not believe it? But if you enter this society and do not produce these results, then I have the right to doubt a little. By the word "heaven", Christ means rational life. What you do in the physical world will be reflected in your spiritual life. If you untie, the same will be reflected in your spiritual life. The law is absolutely correct. If you think, "I have a house, money in the bank, an income of 10-15 thousand a month," your mind is free, you have untied your mind. Some will tell me, "I do not want to give my money in the bank, I will put it in the Divine Bank." Have you seen the door to the Divine Bank? We, the modern people of the new teaching, should not talk about things that we do not know. If you have seen this door, if you have seen this Divine building, that is good; but if you do not know, you will find someone to ask where the Divine Bank is and where the entrance is - from the south, from the west, from the north or from the east. Well, when someone comes to the city, he does ask: “Where is the National Bank? On which street, where is the entrance?”- people definitely know. But when we come to religious life, how much do we know? You will say, "This one wrote like that, another one said like that, we know who went and saw." Well then, these people have gone, they have seen, but have you gone? Someone will come to you and say, as the first lover went to this Mary Clinton: "I want to kiss you." - Have you not kissed another woman?" He will say, "My cousin." - "Well, it is not a big sin." He will kiss you and in two years' time he will marry a rich woman. If this guy had not kissed Mary Clinton, he would not have married the rich one. For mathematical reasons, I say that the second one who kissed her would not have married that millionaire woman, if he had not kissed Mary; and the third one would not have become a poet, if he had not met her. However, they both kissed her physically and the poet - spiritually. He kept the image in his mind and wrote a book, while the other two took wives and forgot her, the third one wrote a book because of her. I am asking now: Does the image of Christ sit in the church? There are two kinds of Christians: some like James, others like Richard. The first one kissed his first cousin, Mary, and his wife; so he split into three women. The second one kissed his two cousins, kissed Mary and his wife; so he split into four women. And the third one did not kiss any woman. He became a poet. Now I am asking like this: Is the teaching of Christ in the minds of people, in its original purity? And after you go into the spiritual life, how do you imagine Christ? He will say, "Have you kissed anyone?" - "Well, my first cousin." Christ will say, "I can sacrifice something for you." The Lord sacrifices something: He will give him a rich woman, he will get married. The second one will come, these cousins are symbols: "Have you kissed a woman?" - "Only my two cousins." - "Well, I can sacrifice something for you." The third one will come and say: "I have not kissed any woman.“ Christ says, "I cannot give you a kiss." Now I know, you will say in your mind: "What has our teacher set out to do, where did he find such things?" I am speaking to you in your language. Kissing his first cousin, it is a symbol, transforming energy from heaven to earth, and from earth to heaven. These are all symbols. You should set out to study the history of the kiss: When did the kiss come to earth? What are the conditions for its use? I will not address this issue now, but it is a very important, psychological issue. And therefore the kiss is a connection with the Divine world. When we want to connect with the Divine world, we use the kiss. It is the lowest thing in the Divine world. And if you want to deceive the Lord with your kiss, to sell the horse for 60 coins, and the cat for 300 groschen, then you will neither be able to untie, nor bind in the world. If you have difficulties now - you do have difficulties in life, right? - I want to direct your mind in another direction. You say, "Some things are possible, some are impossible." I say that for Love anything is possible. How is it possible? If you can love all people, anything is possible. Not just to love them like that, no, no; this feeling is the most sublime, the noblest, which has to develop in the human soul hereafter. The feeling of Love has not yet started to develop in you. When this feeling appears in your soul - I call it insight - a person receives such strength that he comes to terms with everything. And he sees no evil in anything, not only does he not see evil, but he is a master and can turn all things into good. He can connect and disconnect, he can bind and untie. And occultists say that he has become a magician. And this stick, which the magician uses, where does he carry it? Priests wear wide sleeves, and these are the sleeves of magicians. In this wide sleeve the magician carries his staff with which he performs his miracles. This wide sleeve shows that everything should go out freely, to be like an abundant spring. The sleeves of the priests are very wide but the legs are narrow. Why are their pants narrow underneath and not wide? I like secular people, I see culture in them: their pants are wide underneath. All external forms in man are due to certain changes that take place in the mental world; they appear first in the subconscious, then in the consciousness, and finally in the superconscious, but consciousness is a transient state. Once consciousness comes into you, you will see only your mistakes; when you become a conscious person, you will see and say to yourself: "I should not have done this, that..." Consciousness means a servant who must constantly deposit and withdraw money from his master's bank. Consciousness is a pack animal that is constantly loaded or unloaded. And they say, "He leads a conscious life." I say: Let us lead a subconscious and a superconscious life. This is life. If you put an idea in your subconscious, it will come true; if you put it in your consciousness, it will not come true. Make an experiment. Conscious life spoils: it is the one that carries the hammer and constantly crushes stones, prepares materials. And that is why occult science and smart people say that we should be silent, i.e. live in the subconscious, not to talk much. It is a philosophy - not to make your self-consciousness painful. Why? - If you become so self-conscious that you constantly self-condemn, you must know the law of transcending into super-consciousness. If you have made a mistake, there is nothing to dwell on. If the student who plays the violin makes a mistake, he will not leave his violin and shed buckets of tears. The teacher will say, "Hold your violin, fix your tone." And modern Christians are still crying, so you will cry too, but the Lord says: “Hold the violin and the bow, enough of these tears!” When you play a lot, then you cry. And now some say, "Let them cry." - Well, let them cry, but play and cry, do not leave the violin and cry, this crying is out of place. You neither bind nor untie. Therefore, in today's world, women should not cry. I said in one of my talks: a woman should not cry. How come? - She should not put her violin down and cry." She should not say, "Why did I marry this man?" No one bound you, you bound yourself. This man did not take you by force. Well, you travelled the world because of him, from Bulgaria to America. How many love letters did you write him: "I cannot live without you." You forced him to marry you, and then you say, "Why did I get married?" You bound yourself and you did well to bind yourself. Now you will learn the second process: to untie yourself wisely. Binding - what is binding? - When I put my finger on the violin, it is Love, after this small pause, we transfer one tone from one position to another, therefore Wisdom will come in to distinguish between the tones, to separate them, to put them in harmony. So Christ says to His disciples, "Whatever you bind (on earth) will be bound (in heaven), and whatever you loose (on earth) will be loosed (in heaven)." This is a law. And the prophets, whatever bad they foretold, it has happened; and whatever good they foretold, it has also happened. Now modern people are waiting for their salvation from science, right? Salvation is not from outside your mind, but from what is inside your soul. Well, you are all idolaters. Science is a great idol: one said so, another said otherwise, they gathered everything in one book and called it "science." And they say, "This science will save us." For nineteen centuries already, science has been saving us. So what will save us? Cannons, machine guns, and everyone says, "What a great science this is! It is a culture! There is a mind here." Yes, this is the culture of the gypsy who sold the horse for 60 coins and the cat for 300 groschen. So, in today's budget, let us say in England, how much is there? - There is one and a half billion for the state, and for the church they will allocate 50-60 million and that is the 60 coins for the horse. They praise the Lord: "Lord, we are lighting candles for you now." They spend whatnot on the military, but when it comes to a good cause, there are few of them there. And they say that the church binds and unties. Well, why did the church not untie the world war and not let it happen? It was powerful, wasn't it? But not only did it not untie, but the church bound things even more! If some hear me, they will say, "This is how the prestige of the church is damaged." But you yourself damaged this prestige, because you did not work with God's Love and God's Wisdom, you yourself damaged this prestige! And the One above, this Lord sees, He is coming now and will judge everyone. He will first judge the leaders, the priests, the bishops, the patriarchs, the kings, the teachers, the most prominent ones, but he will leave the common people, he will tell them, "I forgive you." To whom much has been given, much will be required of him. It is mot me who says this: And they do not believe, but they will all believe. Now I am also binding and untying. I am going into the world and I will bind, so that no one will be able to untie this knot! And I will untie, so that no one will bind what I untie! I will bind people to live in Love, so that everyone will see in the face of his brother a brother, for whom he will sacrifice everything. And I will untie it, so that not a trace of any lie remains. These are the words of Christ, I quote His words. This is what Christ said: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... and I will be with you unto the end of the world." It is happening now. Those are His words. He is therefore binding and untying. And if Christ lives in your heart, you will bind and untie together with him. You will learn the new law. So, we must apply the teachings of Christ in our lives. This teaching is not for the heaven - you will be given other things to do there. This teaching is for the earth. Well, if we cannot live with Love now, how can we live in harmony in the other world? A Frenchman went to Africa and became a millionaire, he did not get married there, returned to Paris to his two cousins and wanted to find out which of the two he could live with. He pretended to have made a lot of money, 100 million, but then he lost all his possessions and money and got in a lot of trouble. His first cousin said, "You can stay with me." After living for a month, the cousin told him, "We cannot deal with your ill fate, go somewhere else." He went to the second cousin, who told him, "Come, what we have, you will also have." He lived there well for a whole year and said to his cousin, "I am not poor, I am leaving you heirs of all my wealth." When the first cousin heard, he came, but it was too late. This is how Christ tests us - whom he should leave his wealth to. Christ says, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven." Put in the idea that each of you can bind and untie. You are all strong to bind. So watch over your tongue. First of all, your tongue, it is a terrible machine gun, the most terrible machine gun. I do not know a more terrible machine gun in the world than the tongue. Watch over this machine gun! And let each of us speak through the law of Love. When suffering comes, we will know how to untie this suffering, to see what the causes are. Let us untie them here, so they can be untied above. I can explain to you the causes of suffering, this can happen in a school. Your stomach hurts, does it not? If you have a stomach ache, put both hands on your stomach, and after 4-5 minutes you will have no pain. What happened? - You have untied: the pain is gone. You can untie by putting both hands together; this is done by virtue of a law: the cosmic current of Love passes through the left hand, and the cosmic current of Wisdom, of knowledge, passes through the right hand. We now shake hands only with the right hand, and when we love someone, we must shake hands with both hands. And now we shake hands in an aristocratic way - with one hand. When we love, we must hold with both hands, to put in both Wisdom and Love. The divine has to be transmitted and to pass everywhere. So, Christ says, "Whatever you bind with Love will be bound." Because God is Love. And whatever you untie with Wisdom - the suffering of people - they will also be untied because God is Wisdom. I want two things from all of you to distinguish yourselves: to be people of Love and Wisdom. Whoever does not bear these two great laws of Love and Wisdom cannot be of the new teaching. Someone will say: "I am weak, sinful..." No, no, we do not accept weak people. When you come among us, we will introduce you to a committee and ask you: "Can you bind?" - "I can." - "Come here, you are with us." Another will come: "Can you bind?" - "I am weak, I cannot." - "Get out! Can you untie?” - “ I am weak.” - “You are not for us.” A man who can neither bind nor untie is a dangerous man. You will look out for two things: you will be people of Love - to bind, and you will be people of Wisdom - to untie. This is what modern society needs. And if you bring in these two principles, I will reveal wonderful things to you. And we will be able to talk. I will ask you: Can you bind me? - "We can." Well then, I will let you tie me up, I will say that I am not afraid. You will all gather to bind me. Then I will ask you, "Can I untie myself?" You will say, "You can." And I will make a few movements, and I will untie myself immediately. Then I will say, "Wait for me to bind you now." I will test you like that, not to be cowardly: "Can you untie yourselves?" - "We can." And so, we will bind and untie, and we will be free people, without any fear. Well, this is an important psychological law. Bind your brother with Love then, untie him with Wisdom and help him in good. This is the teaching that we must apply everywhere. And I would like you all to become poets now. Write a book. “Whatever you bind will be bound; and whatever you loose will be loosed. ”And that is why these forces of binding and untying are working in the world now. We untie ourselves from the old, we bind ourselves to the new. There is binding and untying. And the new life will be a life of binding and untying. I am translating now: it will be a life of Love, a life of Wisdom. When I meet you, I will ask you: is your daughter untied? So, is she wise? I will ask: Is your son bound? "He is bound, he is bound." I am glad. Can he bind and untie himself? - "He can." I say: Your home is a happy home because it can be bound and untied. These are the words, this is the idea, the deep meaning that Christ has put in his words: “Whatever you bind with Love will be bound; and whatever you loose with the Divine Wisdom will always be loosed. " And I want those who are bound to remain bound; and those who are untied, let them be untied. That is, I want men to be always untied. I do not want to see a bound man. And I want all women bound. Then who has more? The man who is not bound has no rope, but the woman has a rope, and when she unties it, she has a trump card. Women are like a whip in the world: they untie their ropes, whip the world, so it is dangerous to touch the women. Bound people are dangerous because they have very powerful weapons. I speak in symbolic language: you should be women and men. And if my words were to be interpreted in years to come, theologians would appear and say, "What did Mr. Deunov mean by: 'The woman has to be bound and the man to be untied?'" The bound man is a man of Love. He is strong. The untied man is a man of Wisdom, therefore the man must be untied and the woman - bound. And then there will be harmony and peace in the world. And you should be no longer the way you are now. I do not like you women: there are many women in male form. And there is nothing more disgusting: a man in female form. They are the most disgusting things in the world. Therefore, you should return: women to put on the image of the original Love, and men to put on the image of the original Wisdom. And then know that the world will be fixed. What you bind, women of Love, will be bound; and what you untie, men of Wisdom, it will be untied. These are the words of Christ. And, therefore, women in the world can tie everything, and men can untie everything. Everything is given in our hands. And therefore make this alliance: let men untie, and let women bind. Whatever you, women of Love, bind on earth, will also be bound in heaven; and whatever you, men of Wisdom, untie on earth, will also be untied in heaven. This is the teaching that Christ preached; this is the teaching that Christ brings to all of you. I want you to be people of Love now! People - it is a Greek word, you have to invent a new word in the Bulgarian language. The present world needs a woman to know Love and man to be wise. Then your children, and your sons, and your daughters - they will also be like you. The son will be wise and the daughter will love. And Wisdom and Love, when they meet, will form the greatest vibrations in the world. They will change the culture, and when we meet, everyone will produce joy in others from afar. Now think about these words, I have clarified them for you, but there is still much to be clarified. "Whatever you bind, will be bound; and whatever you loose, will be loosed." Talk, held on 25 December 1921 in Sofia. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Няма любов като Божията Любов - 29.12.1920-ИБ-338 / .: 29.12.1920-ИБ-338 There is No Love Like God's Love This year I want the prayers to be performed entirely by Spirit, i.e. to be purely spiritual, not literal. There is no crime that goes unpunished. Passion is equal to all feelings and abilities. Has anyone left his wife to see how it is to leave her and vice versa. Do you know that she can free herself from him or he from her only after four incarnations? Carnal love comes from eating a lot. The most auspicious hours for prayer are in the morning, before sunrise, and then, when you have sorrow, when you are put to the test. Everything will be settled. The present will be a pleasant memory in the future. (Some brothers we only have as deadwood.) Sorrow is the good maiden. Joy is the beautiful maiden - she is changeable. It is necessary to educate the mind first, because it has corrupted the heart. Whoever commits a crime is a master. Servants never commit a crime. The reflection on prayer is only to connect, to help each other, but the important thing is that no one can separate us from God, that no one can separate us from the light, that hardships can break us, but no one can separate us from the appointed path. Reflect on the sentence given to you: "There is no Love like God's Love." Love will make everything right. We canноt keep it. It is like light, no matter how much you cover it, it is elusive and is everywhere. When we think of it, it comes and goes, then comes again. It disappears with every bad thought. Love runs away from the whiff of anything negative. All the misfortunes that befall us come from people, not from God. When the Lord wants to punish someone, He leaves it to the people. It is best that you say for everything that happens to you, "There is no Love like God's Love." 29 December 1920, 5 am. The Master, Vatev, Ilarionov and Sotirov. Revelation 21 was read. This chapter corresponds to the events of the 21st century. On a smaller scale it corresponds to the events of 1921. The twentieth century is about destinies. The twentieth chapter of Revelation is repeated in the 20th century. There is nothing new. Everything repeats itself. Everything new - this has happened in the spiritual world. Here is just the application of the earth. Forests - people - trees. When I run away among the trees, that means among people. From an occult point of view, the earth has a cavity inside the center. Inside the ball on the ground there is another ball that is moving. Each ball has its own magnetic zone. The earth is the densest in its centre. There is machinery, a laboratory, mechanics that move the earth. The lesser mystery is there. Whoever gets initiated must descend to see. Few can descend. The others stay on top of it. Every year there are magnetic currents through which one can descend to the center. This is what the lyrics of the song refer to: "Let us go down into the abyss - let us put a banner" from the song "Let us go forward boldly". It is below the 13th sphere. Whoever falls, it is hard for them to come out. They remain for another evolution. The spirits that are now being bound will be brought in, placed there and the earth will be a barrier for them coming out. There are only vents, there is an angel with a sword on the door to keep them from coming out. A soul that comes out of the earth from there is in heaven. When someone says "Black Earth" - that is namely the abyss. There is another barrier around us, a magnetic one, other people live there. If we leave for the sun, we cannot pass through this belt. The astral world is there. It is above us, but it borders this world, as the earth and water touch. This matter, when we go there, will be below us and will seem to us as ethereal. Water rests on solid ground - so does the astral world. We do not see many things on earth. There are places on earth where no human has set foot. People do not know the earth, but only partially know and are familiar with it. The land under the Pacific Ocean is hidden. People do not know it. It will come out with its virginity above the water. Now we have 5 continents, the sixth one will rise above the water and will be larger than the current ones. Some of the current ones will sink. Changes will take place on earth spiritually, mentally and physically. Russia has a future because of the North Pole. It is the holy land, where no one has ever walked and can never take over. Everyone who went there broke their legs. Changes will also take place in the sky - on the Sun, on the Moon, as well as on the Earth. This life is already going away, it is leaving to free space for the new life. There is now a reorganization of all matter on earth. There are huge magnetic currents from the Sun that are raising the continent and zoning it. This land is sinful, there is a lot of dirt, it needs to be washed. There will be large forests in Russia, in America, where no human foot has set foot for 4-5,000 kilometres. Africa was a continent of the black culture (race), it is part of another huge continent that has sunk. Black magic is a culture of this black race, which has sunk because of its sins - these are the lemurs. These were large territories. Atlantis is the yellow race. Now comes the same for the white race. Its continent is Europe. The black race was insensitive, they had no suffering. They have recently started to wake up. If you hit their arm with iron, they did not feel any pain. Atlantis was a race of feelings. The white race is a race of intellect. It will also sink. Here is the law of necessity. An entire continent will be submerged for the world to be saved. A new huge continent will emerge from the Great Ocean, and the current one will be the island of Europe. There will be one big island of the white race left. Part of Asia, France, Belgium, Paris are already sinking. After the digging of the Nile in Egypt, an Egyptian culture was created and the black culture in Africa was isolated. There is a project to flood the Sahara - it will be a sea and then cultural places will be created around it. The Sahara is below the sea level. Climatic conditions will change. The human spirit must adapt to the new conditions of life. The magnetic wave that comes may burn the entire earth's crust - its surface. Spiritual people will immediately adapt to the new conditions, but the people of the world will not adapt and will wander, will run all over the earth, there will be no peace for them. This magnetic spiritual wave will lift the earth's surface over the Great Ocean but Europe - the continent of the white race - will sink. 10 am. Not every person who harms us is an enemy. One evil is done for our good. And this man has not done us any harm, but good. Modern society has no measures for a permanent morality. It is better with birds. Falcons do not hunt birds when they are hatching. The wolf cannot eat the sheep before it opens its mouth. How far does the ownership of a coin extend? Metal does not belong to humans. Therefore, there is a limit to ownership. The criminal has a forked gaze, but the pure man has a focused gaze. Conversation with the Master of a private nature I was interested in my future activity spiritually and materially from now on, after leaving the military service. For Sanka. Let her boil daisies (the fruit of thorny shrubs) together with basil blossom for half an hour and drink the water - a coffee cupful twice a day. There is a remnant of bronchitis and it will clear up. Clean air in the spring will help. For Mary. She is moving to another age - she is fine. When her head hurts - her stomach suffers. When her stomach hurts, the brain suffers. It will pass. There should be harmony and songs. 1:45 pm. Why do people suffer? Because the spirits up there have Easter. People eat animals, and animals turn into typhoid germs and eat human bodies, and thus take revenge. Animals wonder why there is suffering? The answer is: Because the people down on earth have Easter, New Year, Christmas, St. Nicholas, etc. And when people have fun and are the happiest, they give the animals the greatest suffering. And heaven punishes people with the same punishment: animals eat people. 8 pm. Whenever the mind and the heart go together and agree, there will be good results. There must be faith. Well, everyone has faith, but it must be used wisely. A commune means cohesion. Peace cannot happen without sacrifices. During the morning gymnastic exercises: The movement of the arms is for the development of the heart, the chest. The concentration is for educating, strengthening of the mind. The performance of the exercises is for educating, strengthening of the will. 29 December 1920, Ruse. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Всичкият дълг - 31.12.1920-ИБ-340 / .: 31.12.1920-ИБ-340 The Whole Debt The yellow colour - Wednesday The green colour - Monday. The orange colour - Sunday. The even sum is rational, it is a positive number. The odd sum is irrational, it is a negative number. Then you will not do the intended work. From conversations with the Master Present: Ilarionov, Vatev, Sotirov. A man who is supposed to mix excrement with his hand cannot distribute bread - to everyone as intended. The roots are the hell. The branches are the paradise, the heaven. The opposite is not possible. Do not teach your children not to lie, but teach them to speak the truth. Your daughter has fallen in love with someone. Do not teach her not to love him, but teach her to love her friends or lads even more and her love for her beloved will dawn. Do not mention the name of the evil and why God has given it. And say, "There is a secret here." You will help a sick person - a bankrupt person - if you have capital to pay all his debt, not just a part of the debt - you are not helping him like that. When you connect with a rascal, you will immediately feel despondent. Priests and others cannot stop our teaching. It is a current to which they have to open the way, otherwise it will form a swamp, frogs etc. will be born and will pounce on them. Ordeals are mud that is thrown by the black lodge. When considering, resolving issues between brothers, the law of Christ must be applied; if you want to decide according to the law of Moses, do not mix the law of Christ: either one or the other, but never both together. Bad people are a channel in a society, in a nation. They are necessary for the impurities of the people, of the nation, to flow through them. Men, love your wives! Women, love your husbands! Subjugation is the result of violence. It is a great condition for growth. The grain of wheat must be subjugated, enter the ground in order to grow, otherwise it will stay in the barn. When the ox is tied with a bridle, it obeys and gets led. To be a servant means knowing the law of the movement of forces. To be a master means knowing the great magnitudes - to work with them. Whoever has learned to command is not easily weaned. The Master tells the example of that Turkish cadi, who, when he was fired, took 40 pots, filled them with water, lined them up by the wall of the mosque, sat on a chair, and when someone came and took a pot, he told them: "Leave that one, take this one." And thus the cadi was again a commander - a commander of the pots. When the Lord comes and you do not pray to Him, He leaves. Whoever does not want to pray to God will pray to the people - the Lord will send them. If you do not pray to people, you will pray to animals. The Master tells the example of a rider in the Varna region who rode his horse when going to the city. When some danger happened, he prayed to his horse: "Please, horse, go faster, because I will suffer, and you will suffer." Do not say that you will not pray, you will pray even to a child. Prayer is a necessity. If the Lord has come to my house, should I go to seek Him in the church, with priests and bishops? Development consists in "leaving". The child is left to grow. The tree is left to grow. The man is left to eat, sleep, rest. The louse does not leave the man, but stays on his back or head, where the best juices are. The grain of wheat is left and it makes its way to growth. When a person falls in love with "lice", they suck his blood. If evil were not inside the earth, it would not rotate. Evil, the forces of evil do the laborious work - volcanoes and other processes. This is the hardest work. When the sun rises, everything comes out, but some hide: wolves, moles, owls, owls, bats, worms, etc. - the night culture. Hardships are given to good people. People like to plough only the good fields, don't they? They do not go to the stony fields, but to the well-fertilized ones with a thick layer of soil. They should trade with products that do not carry karma and should have production. They should become diligent, to have and acquire art. These instructions apply to our friends. The felling of living trees and their burning as charcoal by spiritually advanced people - it brings karma to them. Purchased products should be sold immediately, there should be no retention. One should look for such products that are found, sought after and are not subject to spoilage, etc. The "Slovo" publishing house should now be abandoned. It has limited activity. People have joined it for another purpose. It will be arranged, but later. Every trade, work, production must have inflow and outflow - a crossover - for the world to see, but the hidden side of fraternal production must be a secret hidden to the world. When the Divine law is applied, everything will come: wheat, honey, fruits, vegetables, etc. Then the spirits work there, the bees work, etc. Outside of this rule we have old feudal lords who have already gone bankrupt and only want to be masters. We are not against marriage but we are against concubinage, (commercial) association in marriage, however, we are not against Divine marriage. Those who are married have no reason to marry. Whoever is engaged to someone, as Paul says, should not marry, otherwise they will become unhappy. Whoever is bound - karmic ties - should not get untied. Whoever is not bound should not be bound, i.e. should not create karma, not be associated with spirits, because he must give them flesh; but whoever has connections and pledges with spirits must give them flesh, otherwise he will suffer. We must not change the Divine order of things. With our mind we will hinder the Divine development of things and we will suffer. If the Lord expels your children - leave them; if He drives them close - do not drive them away. Once a man loves, he is already married. A karmically bound person must marry in order to reproduce. We are ridiculous with our morals: pure on the outside but unclean on the inside; the pure one is disgraced by the unclean one; the rich one makes the poor one unhappy - such reasoning is ridiculous. Celibacy is by the black lodge: eating and drinking without bearing fruit. The Divine law is to bear good fruit. Marriage between the sick, the weak-minded, the corrupt is not allowed. Healthy people must get married in order to bear good fruit. A young man can help to support a maiden, a spiritual sister, to take care of her education, upbringing, and there it is, he has connected his heart with that sister. The wedding, the baptism is from the priest, but the life is from us. One must free oneself from the law, from dogma. 1-3 pm. 31 December 1920, Friday Ruse, in the house of brother Nikola Vatev Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Ангелът отговори / Ангелътъ отговори - 5.6.1921-НБ-362 / ...: 5.6.1921-НБ-362 The Angel Answered The angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified." (Matthew 28: 5) In conscious or rational life, each form evokes a corresponding idea. When we speak of an angel, an idea corresponding to the given form is born in our mind. When we talk about man as a form, it also creates in us a corresponding idea. So all forms of the physical world evoke corresponding ideas in the mental world that correspond exactly to the forms. However, this is not the case in the physical world. Poison can be poured into a beautiful form, and nectar can also be poured in it. The form does not always correspond to the content. In the Divine world it is the other way round: the content poured into the form always corresponds to its meaning. In other words: In the Divine world there is always a close connection between form, content and meaning. They are caused by each other under the law of association. Therefore, when we talk about a reasonable life, we mean applying of laws. They are observed only in absolute purity. - What is purity? - An environment in which forms move with the least resistance. The greater the resistance, the greater the deviation. This also determines the relationship between action and counteraction. That is why, exactly, our ideas and understandings about life are different. This is a great law on which the upbringing of the future generation will rest. No religion and science, no social system, no education, no culture can be put on a sound footing without an inner understanding of the laws of life. And so, the fact is the form of things; the law is the content, and the principle is the meaning. So there is a connection between facts, laws and principles. However, there is no connection between facts and laws on earth. For example, a judge may convict a righteous person, despite all the evidence of his innocence. According to the letter of the law, i.e. on the formal side, the judge finds him guilty. That is why it is said that there are facts and forms on earth, but there is no legality. Many live by the law, only when it is in their favor. If the law is not in their favor, they do not obey it. The law is necessary for the rich person. - When? - When it comes to saving his money. This law is not necessary for the poor. These are two different understandings. For the rich, the meaning of life is in wealth. In fact, wealth is only the result of human activity in the past. The wealth of a nation shows its culture. The greatest wealth of man lies in his brain, that is in his mind. When he loses this wealth, the man says, "One can do without it." - You cannot do without it. The richness of thought is necessary. It does not lie in the bullion coins, but in the gathering of the forces that create forms and laws. On earth, the human form is preferred to all other forms because it contains the most energies and opportunities for a good and reasonable life. And if money causes brain damage and disorder, what is the use of that wealth? If wealth represents a cracked pitcher or a leaky barrel, what good will it do you? Whatever you pour into the cracked pitcher or the leaky barrel, it will definitely leak out. We do not need cracked pitchers and leaky barrels. As valuable as they are, I prefer a strong clay pot to a beautiful and cracked pitcher. Now, let us go back to the question of forms. In the Divine world, every form is an emblem of a certain content, of a certain meaning. Each form implies a certain life. Therefore, whatever form you create on earth, you will enter the other world with it. In this form they will read how you lived on earth, not only in one life, but in all past lives. In the form you have made on earth, they will penetrate all the folds of your soul and, in the greatest detail, they will describe the story of your long life through eternity. Your whole life will be exposed like the palm of your hand. That is why it is said in the Scriptures that there is nothing hidden under heaven. The angel replied to the women, "Do not be afraid!" Women are the most cowardly creatures on earth. There are no bigger cowards than them. Their delicacy, rationality is again due to fear. This is my subjective perception. This is the case with the woman's current situation. I do not mean the soul of the woman. The prisoner, while in prison, also lives in constant fear. The guard may come in at any moment and punish him. On the same grounds, the woman has reasons to be afraid. Therefore, when I say that living conditions are difficult, I mean: There are many prisons on earth, many guards are chasing you, the food is not good, parasites are attacking you, and so on. Life in prison is really hard. Expensive jewelry is often placed on the woman in this prison: rings, bracelets, silk clothes, a veil, a bouquet of flowers. All this is needed to put her in prison. Matchmakers, godparents, groomsmen move around her. As soon as she enters the prison, all the matchmakers, godparents and groomsmen disappear, they take off her jewelry, and the heavy door of the prison is locked. Only the two prisoners remain inside, and a guard walks outside to guard them. If you do not like this description, you will excuse me. I look at the forms of life as they appear now, not the future ideal forms. I do not dwell on your longings, on your desire to get out of prison, to freedom. "I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified." As you can see, Christ was also imprisoned for three days. An angel had to come down from heaven, to open the prison door, to set Christ free. And when the women came to the tomb, the angel said to them, "I know whom you are looking for, but He has come out, he is no longer in prison." Do you know how many matchmakers went to heaven to ask Christ to come down to earth? They said to Him, "Do you know how much we love you? Come to us on earth. We will accept Your teaching, we will live fraternally and with love for each other." Christ believed their words and came down to earth. As soon as he came down, they put him in prison. Scholars began to go around Him, to challenge His teaching. Jewish rabbis, scribes, and Pharisees began to ask Him where He came from, what the purpose of His life was. Finally, an angel from heaven - the beloved of Christ, had to come down and free him from prison. The same angel comes down from heaven today, he wants to help those of you who are in prison. He has nothing to do with those outside of it. One day, when they go in there, the angel will help them too. The word "prison" is an abstract concept. The angel, this beautiful form, implies the intelligence that comes to help humanity. The angel is not just an outward form. It implies the inner contents of a certain idea that embraces all people. This angel knocks on all the doors today and says, "He is not here." This means: The meaning of life is not on earth. That you create countries, cities, make houses - everything is futile work! Life is not on earth, that is in prison. The prison is needed as long as the prisoner is serving his sentence. The school is needed until the student completes his studies. The church is needed as long as there are worshipers who go to pray. Do you think that in the future there will be no other forms, other systems, other methods of education? There will be new forms, systems, new methods will be adopted. The previous lecture I talked about the two arithmetic operations - addition and multiplication. Now I am going to talk about the other two - subtraction and division. Subtraction is the reverse operation of addition. According to mathematicians, subtraction is an action in which the sum of two numbers - the diminutive, and one of the numbers - the denominator are given, and the other number, called the difference or remainder, is sought. Every new culture, everything new starts with subtraction. Those who apply the laws of subtraction must know not only the simple action of subtraction, but also those deep internal laws that transform energy, i.e. convert it from a state of addition to a state of subtraction. There is a thought in your mind that subtraction is a simple action. You say: "Who cannot reach into his purse and take out a few levs? Who cannot take something out of their barn?” True, taking it out is a simple action, but when it comes to internal subtraction, the matter becomes a little more complicated. You need to know how to subtract. A mother removes her child prematurely. She is said to have aborted. The doctor examines the woman and says: "She is weak, she cannot bear it, the child has to be taken out." - How will this happen? - There are special methods. If they cannot call a doctor, a midwife comes. She also has her own methods. However, both methods of extraction are unnatural. Nature knows how to extract. Every woman who has delivered with a midwife will bear the consequences of this extraction for up to four generations. As scary as it may seem to you, it is a fact. Nature does not allow its laws to be violated. It tells the mother strictly, "The extraction will only take place in the ninth month, in the ninth hour, in the ninth minute and in the ninth second." The ninth hour may be in the morning, at noon or in the evening - it depends on the rotation of the earth. If this hour coincides with the rising of the sun, the result of the extraction is one; if it coincides with the setting of the sun, the result is different. I am not talking about the ordinary counting of time, the way we count it. Nature has another way of determining time. And so, every subtraction in nature takes place at a certain time, by a certain method. Whoever does not observe this time and this method, bears responsibility for this deviation. All human suffering is due to the fact that they do not obey the laws that nature uses in subtraction. If a worm enters the apple or pear, this fruit will fall earlier than the specified time. So if the fruit falls earlier, we say that there is some reason that has broken the Divine order of things. By stating this fact, I do not mean forcing you to delve into your past and look for your mistakes, but to think about how to live in the future. The past is already chronicled. Even if you fill a whole barrel with tears, God will not pay attention to this. He is overwhelmed with crying and tears. You say that there is something in tears that redeems sin. - There is something, but if the tears flow from the depths of the heart. Otherwise, they do not redeem anything. A young man was caught stealing and they filed a lawsuit against him. The theft was small - only 25 levs. The lawyer, defending the accused, said: "Mr. Judge, my client is an honest man. He had no intention of stealing, because there was a large sum, 25 thousand levs, close to those 25 levs. If he were a thief, he would have taken the large sum, not just 25 levs." Listening to the lawyer, the accused started crying. The judge thought he was crying out of remorse and asked him: "Why are you crying?" - "I am crying because I did not see those 25 thousand levs. If I had seen them, I would have taken them too. You are judging me anyway, at least I would have shown that I could steal a large sum. What my lawyer is telling me is not true.” I say: If I were the judge, I would acquit the accused. He is a man ready to speak the truth. Today's people are also like this lawyer, and everyone says, "I am not committing big crimes. My crimes and mistakes are small." - You are not telling the truth. Whoever commits small crimes, may also commit great ones. Tell yourself the truth: "I commit small crimes because I do not have the conditions to commit big ones." The accused says: “I am sorry that I did not see the large sum of 25 thousand levs to take it. I will lie in prison anyway, at least I could have 25 thousand levs at my disposal." The penalty for both 25 levs and 25 thousand levs is the same. One must be honest. Some religious people say, "We are not like other people." - What are you? In essence, I do not see any difference between worldly and religious people. The religious person says, "I do not charge as much interest as the secular people." - What interest do you charge? - Only 10%. - In my opinion, taking 10% interest is a crime. In which Divine Code is it written to take interest? Usury is a law of the earth, and you say you serve God. - When? - When you have an interest in something. When you have no interest, you take down the Divine law to the earth and say, "This is what God has commanded." I ask: Is this science, is it religion? The Divine law does not tolerate any change. It does not allow you to take interest from your brother. By "interest", "percentage" I mean that abundance that goes beyond the ordinary, beyond the definite. When the spring gushes out and goes beyond its limits, the surplus, the abundance that goes out, represents its interest. Man does not need the surplus. Nature also works with interest, but completely different from the ones that people use. A Bulgarian from the Provadia region lent eight bushels of wheat to a Turk. By paying the interest on the wheat, ten years later the Turk had to pay the Bulgarian another 80 bushels. In order not to fall into the situation of the Turk and the Bulgarian, you must free your thoughts, feelings and actions from the crooked direction in which they are moving, and come to a true understanding of life. The future lives of your children, mothers and fathers, teachers and priests will be based on a true understanding of subtraction. The Bulgarian clergy also does not want to subtract properly. They have now convened a council, but even there they do not bring out the truth, which is why they distort the Divine law. I know what the outcome of their council will be. If they want, I can predict it. They must learn to subtract correctly on the ninth month, on the ninth day, on the ninth hour, on the ninth minute and on the ninth second. Only then will they know what the remainder or difference of the subtraction is. Each of you has to make a subtraction, to see what its power is. You say, "I am an intelligent person." Do you wonder what you know? Do you know why your face is round, why your nose is wide, why your chin is wide, why your lips are thick or thin, why your ear is small or large, why your hands are dry, etc. Do you know the reasons for this? They are hidden far away in your past. Therein lies the history of your development. The features of your face can be read, the problems in your life can be solved in a geometric and mathematical way. If you draw a straight line over your eyes, a triangle will be formed upside down. The vertex is the beard. By the angles of the triangle you will know whether it is acute or not. You can calculate how many degrees each angle of the triangle is. - What does the size of the angles matter? - The sharper the angle, the stronger the fall; if the angle is obtuse, the fall is weaker. If you slide on planes with an inclination of 45 degrees or 70 degrees, on which of the two planes is the fall stronger? The inclination of the plane determines the speed of movement. The sharper the angle, the faster the forces act. If someone moves with such speed, they say that he is a person who sprouts where he is not sown. If you tie such a person to nine poles, he will untie himself again. These forces act in such a way that no barrier can be placed in front of them. Whatever is placed will be dismantled immediately. Woe to the one who stands in the way where the forces act at an acute angle. In order to avoid the contradiction that he will encounter, he has to transmute the movement of these forces from the physical to the mental world. The speed of movement of forces in the physical world must be small. That is why the Scripture says, "Be vigilant in your anger!" If a man's chin is pointed, he will constantly beat his wife. What will happen to her? When you see a man with a pointed chin, do not be in a hurry to say that he looks like the one I was talking about. You need to know exactly the degree of the angle. Measure first, then speak. Positive science works with exact numbers, not approximate ones. "The angel answered and said to the women." What did he tell them? - That in the future one can not live with assumptions. You say, "In the future, if we improve our situation and provide for ourselves, we will be living according to the laws of God." - That is an assumption. The angel answers, "With the words 'if' and 'may', one does not live in the Divine world." One has to speak precisely in heaven, "I am good," or "I am bad." But you should not say that you may be good. To be good or bad, it is up to you, not the external conditions. Every individual, every spirit, who desires to be equal to God in power, in mind, in magnitude, encounters evil. God, as the Absolute magnitude, is One, there can be no likeness and equality to Him. Thus, evil is born because of the desire of the human spirit to be equal to God in both size and strength. In this respect, one is like the queen who asked her husband to give her the right to reign for only three days. "Why do you want this?" - "I want to have this experience, to see what it means to be a king, to rule an entire country." At last the king agreed and granted her wish. Taking the rights and power within herself, her first job was to issue an order to hang her husband. If an unprepared man takes the kingdom and power into his own hands, he will destroy and kill his most sublime ideas in three days. There is no case in the history of mankind where a statesman or public figure has not been tainted, has not changed his ideals. - Why does this happen? - Because he wanted to be a great man. This is ungodly. In the Divine world, things are valued by the idea that is embedded in them, by the content and meaning of that idea, not by its size. Every idea, in itself, no matter how great, does not take up much space and area. That is why it is said, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." In other words, God looks favourably on small forms and destroys those who want to embrace the world. This is a law you can check in your daily life. If a person desires to make his body larger than that provided for in the Divine plan, great misfortunes will befall him. And vice versa: if he wants to become smaller than what was determined, misfortunes await him again. Be content with what is given to you. You will be neither bigger nor smaller. If your desires expand excessively, your thoughts and feelings will expand excessively. This premature expansion will cripple you and make you unhappy. - What should we do? - You will find this desire, prune it off and say to it: "I pruned you off because you expanded and took on bigger dimensions than you should, and thus you are torturing your younger brothers." Today, all men and women suffer from excessive desires. What shape, what size and what height would you give to your good friend? A good man is nothing but a rational number. His dimensions are precisely mathematically determined. They do not deviate by a hundred millionth of a millimetre from the dimensions God has ordained. His height, face length, number of hairs - on the head and eyebrows, everything is mathematically accurate. If one of these measures is violated, it shows that this person's desires are distorted. Now, speaking of rational life, I understand the proportions between its forms and organs. This proportion corresponds to the content of this life, and its content - to its meaning. Do not think that beautiful shapes are created easily. It takes billions of years. Matter for beautiful shapes is taken from the stars and planets. It takes millions of years. When I say that the stars are very important for creating beautiful shapes on the earth, many consider this a simple job. They say, "This is futile." - For them it is empty futile, for us - meaningful. For us, people's sighs are real things, we hear them from thousands of miles away, but for the deaf they are unreal, distant things. This difference is due to hearing: some people have highly developed hearing, others - poorly developed, or do not hear at all. The angel who came down to earth to help Christ and all mankind rolled the stone from the tomb and said to the women, "I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified." By "angel" I mean the higher human mind. You have to be smart and reasonable, but not as the world understands. Be wise, like the king who lived 12,000 years ago next to the king, who commanded any of his subjects to take out their right eye when visiting the king. I spoke to you about this king in my last talk. Now I will tell you about the other king, who was a great sage, an adept of the secret sciences. His palace was designed so that all his rooms magically moved in all directions - back and forth, left and right. He had a special clock with which he determined the direction in which the rooms moved. This happened when guests came to him. He invited the guest to one of the rooms and watched how the clock hand changed. The movement of the hand determined the direction of movement of the room, and the movement itself - the direction of the nature of the thoughts that excited the guest. If he thought of doing a good and noble deed, the room also moved in the appropriate direction. This is a law. Go in the nature, to check this law there. The rooms of nature move according to people's thoughts. If they think evil of someone, the rooms of the houses move to the left. By the clock of nature, God determines the thoughts of men. The angel sitting on the clock of time, defines human thoughts as good or bad by the movement of the clock hand. It matters what thoughts a person feeds their mind with. Today you are also in this palace. The room you are placed in is moving. The external clock determines the direction of your thoughts, as well as your future destiny. It depends on the person himself. Everyone alone, according to the clock of time, determines their own destiny. You say, "This is a terrible thing!" Scripture says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom." The angel replied to the women, "The One you are looking for is not here." This means: The reasonable in life that you are looking for is not here. It is not in what you are thinking now. It cannot save you. The angel must meet you on the way and tell you, "Jesus, whom you are looking for, is not here." From that moment, the real spiritual life begins for you. Without this meeting, no matter how much you read the Bible and the Gospel, you will not achieve anything. How many of you are willing to sacrifice for this angel? How many of you know why Christ came to earth? You will say that Christ came to save mankind. Do you know the inner meaning of salvation? Someone fell into the water and was rescued. - This is an external salvation, in form. Salvation is threefold: salvation in form, content, and meaning. When one is saved in three ways, only then can they understand life; only then can they grow and develop properly. "What is required of us?" - To get in harmony with wildlife, to adjust to its laws. I am talking about living nature as a form that adjusts things. Outside of it, I do not know who could adjust them. Once you understand nature as a Divine form, you will find the Divine content in it. From the content you will penetrate into the Divine meaning. There are no contradictions in the Divine form, as in the physical forms. I will ask you the following question: Why do the flowers you grow in your gardens have different colours? Some are red, others - blue, others - yellow, white, pink. In my opinion, each colour is a label in which the contents of the flower are hidden. When you buy something, they put a label on the packaging of the item for the contents of the package. Nature does the same. The colour of the flower is a label on which it is written the quality of the flower, its origin, history of development; why it came down to earth, what it should do, and how it will end its life. Each colour of flowers has a different content. Red says one thing, blue says another. They have the opposite meaning. Flowers have a healing power. It is good for the anaemic to grow red flowers. The colour red contains a magnetic force that tones the human nervous system. If someone is disillusioned and discouraged, let them start growing blue flowers. The colour blue will give them its excess energy and their faith will grow unnoticeably. The disciples of Christ turned to Him with the words, "Master, give us faith." He replied, "If you had as much faith as a mustard seed, you would move mountains." Many quote this verse, but how many wonder what the mustard seed represents? It should be placed under conditions to grow. Only then will it show us what to do. The mustard seed will give its excess energy to tone the mental forces of man. Not only mustard, but all plants have the power to tone a person's mental life. However, they are only used by smart people. So beautiful flowers and butterflies are created for highly intelligent people, because only they can use them. - How do people treat flowers? - Where they see a flower, they stop and start tearing the leaves, its blossoms, and then throw them away. The mother, seeing her child picking blossoms and leaves on the trees, rejoices and says, "My child has already learned to pick flowers and look at them." She does not know that this child, who is picking flowers today, will eventually cut people's heads off. The mother must say to her child, “No, my dear, this flower is your brother, an angel, who came to earth to do you a favour. You have to learn its language, to talk to it. - How will he talk to it? - By digging and watering it. By doing so, your children will improve, they will become good. Growing flowers is used as a method in the new upbringing. There are many methods for raising children, but I will not give them to you now. I will let God grind you. One day, when you seek the Lord, He will tell you, "Come to me, and I will give you new methods of work." - I know a lot of things, but I will keep them in my bag for now. I do not lend money, and I do not lend at interest. No matter how much you cry, I do not want to know. If you cry out of a desire to do God's will, I understand; if you cry in order to rob me, I am telling you that I cannot open the Divine Bank before you. "An angel of the Lord descended, rolled back the stone, and opened the tomb." The same angel goes down to the flowers every morning when they bloom, and opens their buds. A woman says, "How happy I would be if I were in the time of Christ to see an angel of the Lord descend, open the tomb, and see Christ rise!" - Ah, woman, how many years the angel stops in front of the flowers and opens their buds! Have you not seen that? "I know what flowering is!" - You do not know. Flowering is a process that takes place in our mind and in our heart. It is a symbol that must come to life in your mind. I want you to start seeing, not to walk groping your way. You say, "I want to put my hand in the wound of Christ, to touch, to know if that is Him." - It is easier to open your eyes than to touch." In the time of Christ, things were done by touching, but now they are done by seeing. If I make you go out in the evening, to watch things in the dark, I am wrong. But when dawn comes, it is a crime if I do not tell you to go out, to look at the light, to see what you have not seen before. - What will you see? - The Great Divine World, which is revealed before your eyes. This world cannot be described - it must be seen. How would you describe a beautiful girl? You have to see her! The beautiful, the plastic in life is characterized by gentle, subtle vibrations. Beauty is an image of God. - Who brought the beauty of the earth? - The angel who descended from heaven. That is why angels are painted beautiful. I am asking: Have you met this angel? Some have met him. Did you go to the grave? Did the angel tell you that Jesus was not there? If he told you so, I am glad. So you saw the angel. Now you need to take the second step. Where will you go? Go and tell His brethren that Jesus is not in the grave. Have you that that to the brothers? If you have not, go and tell your brethren that an angel has descended from heaven, rolled away the stone of the grave, and Jesus is not there. - Is it time we went and told them? - When God tells you to go, go and think no more. The sun is already rising! Down with all the misconceptions! Do not think that what happened to Christ has only an outward form. There is a certain idea hidden in every external form. It is enough to catch a glimpse of the beauty in order to perceive its vibrations, which will create good thoughts and feelings in you. Only in this way will man create an idea of God, of His essence. This means being ready to forgive all people, to say "goodbye" to this world, to say goodbye to disharmony. Then say, "I am not afraid of what people and society think of me. I am ready to do everything for this world! ”- Whom does this world depend on? - On the other world. This thought must penetrate your minds and hearts, create beautiful shapes. You say that someone is virtuous. - What is the shape of this man? What are his distinctive features? - He is good. - This is not enough. This is an approximation. We work with certainty and accuracy. You will say that this person is good because he has such and such traits, actions, thoughts and feelings. It is not easy to describe and define things. You say that some great Master of the past preached some teaching. How has it been passed on? Some have passed it orally, others have recorded it, still others have translated it into foreign languages. It is good to read this Master's books, but in order to understand them you must go back to the time when He lived, understand His condition when He conveyed His thoughts. So, it is good to read what the Master has said, but it is better to listen to Him as He speaks. It is good to read the book of nature, but it is better to listen to what it says. If you cannot listen, it is good to understand the meaning of what she said. Therefore, if you describe a good person, you will describe them accurately, with all the details of their form and features. A poor man went to a banker to ask for a loan and said, "Sir, look me in the face and tell me how much money you can give me." The banker looked at him carefully and said, "I am giving you a thousand leva." So the poor man instilled confidence in the banker for a thousand leva. You give only ten leva to one, only one lev to another - they inspire so much trust in you. - Is the inner trust real? - It is real. It is based on certain laws. One knows by intuition whether the debtor will lie to him or not. You say, "I knew this man would not return the money, but I will forgive him." It is said in the Scripture, "There is nothing hidden." Every broken promise, every bad thought and every bad feeling is imprinted on a person's face. His face is constantly roughened, deformed, until he completely loses his human image. This happens not only with the individual, but also with entire societies and peoples. Do not try to destroy a beautiful Divine thought. Even if it costs your life, stand on the side of Divine thought. Advocate for the Divine ideas. Divine thoughts elevate and resurrect man. Whoever loses or destroys a Divine form or idea gradually degrades, until at last he loses all human form. The Egyptians call this state "transmigration", and the Hindus - reincarnation, i.e. transition from higher to lower form. Whoever does not keep the Divine forms, hinders his own development. That is why the angel came down to earth, to teach people how to live, how to make sense of the forms of things. It is not enough to get married and have children; it is important to make sense of both marriage and childbirth. Marriage is the right combination of mind and heart in order to create beautiful shapes. That is why the Scripture says, "What God has joined together, let not man put asunder." This means: Give conditions to the Divine to manifest and develop. Enjoy the beautiful forms without conquering them. If you try to conquer or possess a beautiful form, you are breaking God's law. By conquering forms, you deprive people of them. It is not allowed to possess a good that is available to all. Do not impede a person who makes an effort to ascend. This is not morality. If you see someone ascending, leave them free. Do not throw mud at them. By throwing mud at your neighbour, you roughen, you erase those fine, delicate features that nature has placed on your face. Bulgarians has a custom of sharpening their axe on the fountain basin. Whoever passes by the fountain bends down to drink water, sharpens his axe on the basin, and continues on his way. Then they wonder why the basin breaks down so soon. That is what people do to each other. When they see someone ascend, they immediately say, "Let us try the axe on him!" One sharpens his axe, another sharpens his, a third one - until finally they say: “"We do not know what happened, but this man's basin has broken down." This is not a philosophy. Never sharpen your axe on the fountain basin. You can let the cattle drink in the basin at most, but not sharpen your axe. Today, everyone is wondering, why are people ruined? Because they sharpen the axes on each other's backs. Men sharpen their axes on women's backs, and women - on men's backs. It does not take long, and you see both the woman and the man broken down. You are not allowed to sharpen your axe on a man's back! You are not allowed to sharpen your axe on a woman's back! This is the backbone! It is the most tender place. The biggest concussions take place there. Magnetic, vital energy flows along the spine. The angel replied, "Do not be afraid!" This angel wants to teach you to protect all that God has given you. Protect your brain, lungs and stomach! You have no right to allow selfish thoughts and feelings to pass through your eyes. It is enough for a selfish thought or a selfish feeling to pass through your eyes, so that your eyes get spoiled and your nose gets distorted. You say, "May Christ come to save us!" He came to earth and told people that they should love one another. They replied to Him, "We have love, we have tried love, we know it." Both men and women say, "We have already tried love. And Christ has come to preach love to us!” I am telling you: Do not spoil the beautiful forms, which God has created. Use the valuable content that is embedded in them. Use the power embedded in these forms for your own good, as well as for the good of your neighbour. Do you know what the man and woman given to you represent? You say, "This is a man!" I will give a bonus to the one who can determine exactly what a man is and what a woman is in form, content, and thought. There is nothing more beautiful than the form of a man and a woman. There is nothing more beautiful than the form of flowers, butterflies, and all living creatures. If you take away the form of a living creature, nothing will be left of it. It is enough to see a small shape of a flower or a butterfly to rejoice. Each form hides a great content in itself. When two women meet, let each one say to herself, "Something Divine in content and meaning is implanted in my sister." What do they actually say about each other? They look at each other suspiciously and one says about the other, "I know what she is." - Do not look at the external form! The external form is an announcement that you should not pay attention to. Focus on the content of the form - it is valuable. The value is in the mind and heart of man. You cannot know each other until your minds, hearts and souls come into contact. To know man means to connect with his mind, with his heart, with his soul and with his spirit. The mother has to give birth for a long time until she gets to know her son and daughter. The mother says, "I gave birth to a child." - This is not enough. You must know your child, come into contact with his mind, heart, soul and spirit. That means to give birth to a child. Then the angel will meet you and say to you: “Woman, your child is not in the grave. You met Christ and got to know the Divine world. You also meet this angel. You say, "We know this angel, he is good." - These are your male and female angels. While they are young and in love, people call each other angels. Before they are married, the young man and the maiden say about each other that they are noble, good. Once they get married, all nobility disappears. There are no angels among the married. You say about someone, "This man is great." - How long is he great? - Until you get to know him. Once you know him, his greatness tumbles. It is said in the Scripture, "This is eternal life, that we may know You, the One, the True God." Therefore, the meaning of life lies in knowing the soul. "The angel answered." - Where is this angel? - He is standing in front of the people and saying: "Study all forms. Study their content and meaning." I am not talking about the external forms that change. They are temporary. If you are a clairvoyant, you will see that under each external form another new, beautiful form is being prepared. From your current faces I judge the future ones. Your current faces are transient, as the state of the cocoon is transient. The future faces are seen in them. Be careful not to mutilate them. In the future, the hair on the moustache and beard and the hair on the head will be replaced with new, thin ones, like the thinnest and finest silk. - What do hairs represent? - Laws. When a man wants to beat his wife, let him grab his moustache. Thus he will connect with these laws and give up his desire to beat. Today's men shave their moustaches, not to be caught by the law. With or without moustaches, they cannot evade the laws. Shaving does not help. Everything in nature has a purpose and meaning. Each hair contains energy in itself - electricity or magnetism. Some people ask me why I wear my hair long. The reason is simple: for health. Long hair retains more electricity and magnetism. By cutting one's hair, one loses this energy. I do not approve of cutting hair. It is good for the hair to reach in length at least the lower part of the ear. If it gets above this part, you will experience the bad consequences of short hair. For cultured people, nature has set the following rule: Men should wear short hair, not above the lower part of the ear; women should wear long hair - maybe also short hair, but not very short. Hair is related to health, while keeping the head and neck warm. Because the woman has overtaken the man, she entered the spring earlier than him, so she threw away her beard. As soon as she felt the warmth of spring, she found it necessary to get rid of her beard. Under the current conditions, a man cannot do without a beard and moustache, just as a woman cannot do without hair. In the future, they will both have only hair. So the man will also throw away his beard and moustache. Today, however, for a woman to be without hair, it is equivalent to a man being without a moustache and beard. Now, strive through your life to ennoble your thoughts and feelings in order to perceive the finest thoughts and feelings of the exalted beings. Man is required to work - to ennoble his rough nature in order to perceive the delicate and subtle vibrations of nature. People need to understand each other. Here is the meaning of life. That is why Christ came to earth and rose again. Resurrection implies entering the Divine world, i.e. connection with God. While on earth, man goes through three phases: rising - entering the physical world, revival - entering the angelic world, and resurrection - entering the Divine world. The angel answered. What did he answer? - Man needs knowledge, not on paper, but knowledge that rests on deep experiences, on living faith, on a connection with God. Only God teaches man. I want God to say one word to you every day. Now I will tell you a secret: What I have told you so far is only a preface to what I will tell you today. It is as follows: God speaks only once in 24 hours to the human soul. I will not say which is this moment. You will find it yourselves. In a round of 24 hours, not only God speaks to man, but all angels, all exalted beings. In these 24 hours, each person is given one second to say their word. When God speaks to people, most of them are asleep; when the angels speak to them, they sleep again; when the lower spirits speak to them, they are awake. Then bad things and crimes happen. It is important to be vigilant when the Lord speaks to you. He will tell you only one word - the greatest good for you. If you do not understand this word, you lose everything. If you are not ready to accept and apply it, they will put you to sleep. Then God will speak to you once in a hundred years. Whether you want it or not, then you will hear Him. That is why the day has no meaning for you, because the Lord will speak to you. As the sun rises, you should expect this great moment. And as you carry out your work, you still have to look forward to this great moment. What greater good than that - to hear the voice of the Lord? All suffering, all diseases and hardships will disappear. There is no more solemn moment for man than to hear the voice of the Lord, of the great essence, that does not change or alter. God sustains all living things in the world. The voice of God is quiet and meek. This is how the ancient prophets heard Him, and this is how you can also hear Him. I say: In 365 days of the year you have 365 occasions for the Lord to speak to you and you to hear His voice. However, few have had the opportunity to use these opportunities. You have had occasions of angels speaking to you, but not of the Lord. There are some to whom the Lord has spoken, but they are few. The divine life does not consist in fasting, in tormenting the body, in distorting the human mind and heart, but in absolute harmony. You will eat without overeating; you will sleep without oversleeping; you will dress without excess. Remember: Man has come to earth to hear the voice of the Lord. No one in heaven can hear God's voice. If the voice of God could be heard there, no one would come to earth. Even exalted beings strive for the earth with the sole desire to hear that voice. They are ready to suffer, to be tormented, just to hear God's voice. Suffering develops man's hearing, so that he can perceive even the most tender vibrations of God's voice. You also used to be in heaven, you knew many things, but you have forgotten everything. Now you have come again to earth, to the earthly school, to learn the art of listening to the voice of God. Life begins for you now. Not knowing this, you say, "Let's go to heaven!" Use the present day! God will speak to you today too. It is important how many of you will hear His voice and how many will fall asleep. So, when you return to your homes, ask yourselves: Has the Lord spoken to you and how will you know His voice? Someone says, "The Lord has spoken to me." - Do not be fooled. If God has spoken to you, can you tell how He speaks? Love cannot be described. Its manifestations are numerous. When you say you love someone, love gets hidden. It does not allow you to stain it. If you love, say nothing about your love. Do you know what a beautiful form a pure, selfless love creates? The divine world is full of such forms. I wish you all to hear today the word that God will say to you. The angel will meet you on the road and say: “Women, do not be afraid! He is not in the grave. Go and tell the brethren what you have seen." As you go and tell the brethren, you will meet Him in Galilee - the place of the mind. If you do not go to Galilee and live in Jerusalem, you are in the stomach, on a pilgrimage. Today all people are pilgrims. Samaria is in the chest - in the human respiratory system. Christ went either to Jerusalem, or to Samaria, or to Galilee. In Jerusalem, people get excited and ask, "Who is Christ?" In Samaria, they ask, "Where should we worship, on this mountain?" When they go to Galilee - in their minds, everyone will see Christ there. Many say, "Let us make some money, let us go to Jerusalem." I say: Brother, you are still there. Whoever has gone to Jerusalem says, "I went with one devil, I came back with ten." - As long as you live in your stomach, it will be like that. The most important place in human life is Galilee, then comes Samaria, and finally - Jerusalem. Now I am also saying: Go and tell your brothers that there is an important second in the day when the Lord speaks to the human soul. Be awake to hear this word. Then go to Galilee, and there you will find Him. A talk by the Master, held on 5 June, 1921 in Sofia Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Поздравът на Любовта / Поздравътъ на Любовьта - 2.10.1921-НБ-392 / ...: 2.10.1921-НБ-392 The Greeting of Love "And when you enter a house, give it your greeting!" (Matthew 10:12) Today's religious and spiritual people are in danger of thinking that they know everything and that they have resolved all issues. Everyone says, "I know." - You all know, but the world is not fixed yet. If a student says that he understands mathematics but cannot solve the simplest problem, what is his understanding? If someone says he knows a language but cannot write a simple letter, what is that knowledge? To know something properly means to implement what you know. A true violinist is one who performs well what he is playing. Anyone who hears him play says, "This violinist plays well." You say, "I understand music." - You understand, but you cannot play. Few people can play. How many musicians are there in the world now? - "About a dozen." Many people play, everyone wants to pass for a musician, but everyone's ideal are the exceptional musicians. The same law applies to the spiritual life. Many people pass for spiritual, but few are truly spiritual. Life is great music. To live means to play by all the rules of the Divine art. If you are impatient, the bow trembles and the tones do not come out properly. When you doubt, you lose your memory. And if you are a trader, you will go bankrupt. A student, who doubts what the teacher is teaching, loses the connection between his thoughts and cannot answer. Such a student ends up with a poor mark. Now we are dwelling on the outer side of life and we wonder what misfortune represents. It determines the angle of our deviation from God. The greater a person's misfortune, the greater his deviation from the right path. The greater the joy, the closer our approach to God. If someone says he is unhappy, I infer that he has deviated to the left. Unhappiness is determined by the degrees of the angle at which the deviation has occurred. This angle can range from one degree up to a full angle equal to 360 degrees. The unfortunate person thinks about his unhappiness, I think about the angle of his deviation. By this angle, I can determine in how many days his unhappiness will diminish until it is completely gone. He will then enter the neutral zone, i.e. he will step on the straight line that determines the direction of his life. If you come to the right angle, you will move correctly. Then your joy will begin to increase. - "I want to be happy." - If you want to be happy, go right. - "I do not want to suffer." - Make a turn, enter to the right. - "I want to be a scientist." - Learn, do not experience what you have perceived, but process it. Christ tells His disciples, ""When you enter a house, give it your greeting!" - How many disciples did Christ have? - Twelve. You say: “If only I had also been one of the disciples of Christ! I would have been either Matthew, or Luke, or Mark, or John, and the world would have known me. My name would have been known to all." - Yes, but you could have also been Judas. Then there was one Judas, and now there are millions. As the number of the other disciples increased, so did the number of Judas. Calculate the percentage increase in the number of other disciples to find in proportion to it and the number of increasing Judah. Today there are 500 million Christians. Divide the number by 12 to see how many millions of Christians each disciple has. - There are 40 million Christians per disciple. So there are 40 million traitors in today's Christian world. - Why is that? - You will answer this question yourself. Someone left his wife, and you ask why he left her. - So, he left her, the question is over - a done fact. - Why is that? - It is like that, nothing more. Whoever left his wife should answer for himself why he did so. This is not a deep philosophical question. The man dispossessed his wife because another woman had taken her place. - Why did the woman dispossess her husband? - Because someone else had taken his place. Here is the whole philosophy! Therefore, if a woman leaves her husband, another man has sneaked in; if a man leaves his wife, another woman has sneaked into their home. So a woman can spoil the happiness of two men; a man can spoil the happiness of two women. However, a woman cannot spoil the happiness of two women, nor can a man spoil the happiness of two men. Christ says, “And whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy and stay at their house until you leave. And when you enter the house, give it your greeting." So when you meet someone and they do not greet you, it shows that they are not from your party. If you do not greet them, you are not from his party. The matter is clear and definite. Now I would like to draw your attention to the positive side of your life. Not everyone is required to do the same thing, nor to have the same knowledge and virtues. Each virtue has 35 million forms. Every form, combined with each other, forms a new form. It is a great art to study a virtue and apply it. Someone says, "I know Love." - That is a lot to say. Love has 35 million forms. If you only count, how long will it take to count to 35 million? With moderate counting, you will count to 60 in one minute; in one hour, you will count to 3,600. How much will you count if you count 12 hours every day? Make a calculation to see how long just counting will take you. You can then imagine how long it will take you to study all 35 million forms of love! It is easy to say that you know a certain virtue. If you count only its forms, it takes a long time. What do you gain if you study the forms of a virtue? It takes 810 days to count the forms of Love, but because only 12 hours a day are counted, the number 810 doubles. So it takes whole five years for this counting. If you count six hours a day, it takes ten years. So, you are being asked to understand the essence of life. This is achieved through special methods in which real life is hidden. The child cannot skip his childhood and suddenly become an adolescent; the adolescent cannot suddenly become an adult, and the adult cannot suddenly become elderly - some consistency is needed. This law of consistency exists in all areas of life. Therefore, in order to understand a great truth, you must have developed appropriate feelings and abilities within yourselves. You must also have appropriate organs through which to perceive and transmit what you acquire and what you have acquired. These are the first steps towards the occult school. In order to develop his feelings and abilities, his organs of perception and transmission, the disciple must stay away from all thoughts and feelings that hinder him. These are fear, anger, malice, hatred and others. Whoever hates, hinders his own development. Whoever does evil to others, does evil to himself. When you talk about morality, you must first apply it to yourselves. - Why do we need to live well? - In order to properly develop your feelings and thoughts, as well as the organs of your soul. Whoever does not live well is deformed. Knowing this, do not be surprised, because suffering comes. If you ask why you are suffering, I say: You are suffering because you have deviated, you have taken a direction to the left; you have given room to the negative qualities in yourself. In misunderstood suffering, one gradually degrades. Christ says, "When you enter a house, give it your greeting!" Everyone is a house that should be greeted. If he accepts your greeting, leave your peace with him. If he greets you and you accept his greeting, you will receive his peace. This means that the peace of God will come upon you and the Son of God will visit you. Where there is peace, there is Christ. Where there is no peace, Christ is far from you. "When you enter a house, give it your greeting!" - Whom should you greet? - The Lord, Who who lives in your house. Therefore, when you meet a person in whose house God lives, you will greet him. When a son enters his father's house, he must definitely greet him. If the son does not greet his father, if the daughter also does not greet him, neither the son is a son nor the daughter is a daughter. - How do people greet each other? - Bulgarians great each other with "Good day." - What does the good, i.e. virtue represent? - The fruit of Love. It is said, "Whichever house you enter, give it your greeting." - With what? - With the fruit of Love. It is easy to greet a person with the words "good day", and he will answer you "May God give you good", without the day being good and without having any good. Do you know what this looks like? American students celebrate Thanksgiving once a year - a celebration of gratitude. Then they slaughter, as in our country for Christmas, turkeys, geese, pigs and all lay the large tables, eat and drink. On this day, people are very generous, handing out vouchers of varying value. Each student has many vouchers at his disposal and only signs them and sends them wherever he wants. However, these vouchers have the value of the current Russian rubles. You will sell all the vouchers and you will barely make a single lev. Christ's teaching forbids the handling of these vouchers. - Why? - Because today they have no value - they are fake. So, if you say "good day" to a person, you have to experience that day. If he answers you, "May God give you good," he must also experience that good. That is how you should greet each other. Now we greet each other with the phrase: "There is no love like God's Love." They answer you: "Only God's Love is Love." This is the simplest formula I have given you, but you have already soiled it. Some greet each other casually and pronounce the formula quickly. Whoever responds to the greeting says "only" briefly without completing the formula. If you want to say something or greet the person, you will do it with good disposition and Love. You will immerse yourself and then you will say the greeting. This is good for both you and the person you greet. You will say quietly, "There is no Love like the God's Love." This is a mathematical value that has to be turned into a positive one. Now consider the letter "x" (in Bulgarian, "h" in English) which is the first letter of the word Christ. If we remove the lower left line, we get the sign "y"; if we remove the upper right line, the sign "h" will remain - a letter that enters the initial syllable "Ch", with which the word "Christ" is written in English. The letter "C" means the moon, which is constantly filling and emptying. The letter "h" means a creature upside down. The letter "Ch" means a wheel that rotates both up and down. This letter is formed by two "y" - one up, the other down: "x" = "y" + "h". So the letter "x" means a person who turns upside down and up again. When he sins, he turns upside down; when he does not sin, he raises his head. When he sins, man blemishes Christ. When he does not sin, Christ enters into him to purify him. Then he consciously utters the formula: "There is no Love like the God's Love." If we delete the bottom left part of the letter "H", we will get the letter "Ч", which means open, blooming flower. Many words begin with this letter (in Bulgarian): cup, hour, forehead. It is an art to know which part of the letters to take in order to turn one energy into another, i.e. one state to another. Eating is also a process of transformation - to turn the lower state of living energy into a higher state. In other words, eating is a process in which the living potential energy in nature tells man, “You will accept me as a conductor and will raise me to a higher world. Until that happens, you will work on me for a long time. Once you process me, you will gain health. So you will benefit from me, and I from you." I say: By transforming this energy into the first degree, you will receive the first gift - health. By transforming it into the second degree, you will receive the second gift - happiness. By transforming it into the third degree, you will receive the third gift - bliss. Now, as disciples, you will begin to transform the lower energies into higher ones. Do not ask who has reached where, what they said or what they know. It is not enough just to eat, but to turn the lower energy into a higher one. When you eat, you will transform the energy properly, you will have deep feelings, bright thoughts and a desire to apply. This is the fruit that determines the degree of your love. They judge your work by the manifestation of Love. This is how God tests your hearts. Thus He checks how you have turned the lower energy into a higher one. He will enter your garden, look at the trees and draw conclusions about you from their fruits. Once God visits you, His first job is to review what you have planted in your garden, how much fruit you have, and what the quality of that fruit is. He knows what you have worked and what you will get. The students often resort to some trick in solving their tasks. If they cannot solve some tasks, they copy them ready-solved, put them under their sleeve and when necessary, look at their sleeve and copy them. If the teacher has not noticed, he writes an excellent mark. This excellent mark is due to the slip of paper that you put under your sleeve. If I give you a task today, how will you solve it? Someone will look for a special book in their library to see what the authors say about it. Another one will look up his sleeve to see if there is a slip of paper on which he has written the solution to the problem. Finally, if you cannot solve it, you say, "This task is not about Love - it cannot be solved." Quite simply, you have not tried it, you have not done anything yet. When the teacher taught, he talked for hours about how to solve problems. Now you will sit in your place, you will think for an hour, two, three, you will suffer a little, but you will solve the task. God blesses everyone who struggles and toils. Whoever expects to copy from slips of paper in the sleeves, eventually loses them. Today, women wear narrow sleeves so as not to hide slips of paper in them. The wide sleeves mean generosity. God says, “When the sleeves are wide, you have to be generous, to give. If you are not generous, you will wear narrow sleeves." "When you enter a house, give it your greeting." - Why should we greet each other? - The greeting is a necessity for all good people. If the sun did not greet us every morning, life would be stagnant. When the clouds hide the sun, we are sad, we feel the need for its greeting. Every soul needs the greeting of the sun, the energy of its rays. The greeting is expressed not only with words, but also with tender feelings and a kind look. Anyone who does not understand the meaning of a greeting says, "I do not want to greet this person. My dignity does not allow me." You do not greet him, but he will not greet you either. Subsequently, all decent people get to work hard. So do teachers with lazy students. When they do not want to study, their teachers write poor marks and force them to study. If you are a student of the Divine School, you will not look up your sleeve, but you will sit and work, you will solve your own tasks. You will have wide sleeves, i.e. you will be generous, but you will work. You are the one who benefits from your tasks. The fact that others solve their tasks cannot benefit you. The conscious student solves his own tasks. Many enter this school, but not all are disciples. Some of them are proselytes, others are listeners, still others are believers, and some -disciples. How will I know if I am a disciple? - By the correct solution of the tasks. Whoever solves his tasks correctly is a disciple. If he cannot solve them, he is a believer, a listener, or a proselyte. In addition, by the tasks you solve, you will know which class you are in. If you only work with arithmetic operations, you are in third grade at the most. If you solve algebraic problems, you are a high school student. From the high school curriculum, you can guess which class you are in. It is the same in the spirit world. The tasks you solve can determine the class you have reached. Being virtuous is a great science. It gives meaning to life. When a prominent violinist plays on stage, the audience admires him and applauds him. He has studied so many years to master this art! How many years does it take a student to become smart, to know the form of things, their content and meaning? So, you will greet each other with the new phrase. When you meet your brother, you will tell him, "There is no Love like God's Love." He will answer you, "Only God's Love is Love." - When is this phrase pronounced? - When you are disappointed in human love. When you encounter great suffering and get disappointed in everything human, you say to your friend, "There is no Love like God's Love." He answers: “Truly, there is no other love but God's Love. Only God's Love is Love." If you pronounce this phrase consciously, the sick will be healed, the unhappy will become happy. If you greet someone with this formula and he starts philosophizing, you will know that he is not on the right path. I say to the one who philosophizes: Come and see! If a man has done you 99 favours, and you have not thanked him with a single gentle look, you are not worthy to be called his friend. If you are not ready to give thanks for the hundredth time, you will be expelled from the school of life. The last favour decides your destiny forever. The situation of a student expelled from the Divine School is terrible. Let him not wonder if in the next incarnation he is born physically crippled or mentally immature. And, if you ask why you are unhappy, I say: You are unhappy because you have not greeted your brother or friend in the name of God's Love. I say: If God's Love knocks on your door, but you pretend not to hear, the invisible world will punish you justly; if you answer the knock, you will come into contact with the advanced beings of the higher worlds and say, "I see now what I did not see before." Seeing will bring joy to your soul. Now I am talking to you about the greeting of Love, because you are called to fulfill everything with Love. If you do not fulfill your obligations with Love, you are neither a friend nor a disciple. The disciple of Love has to penetrate the great Love, to study with Love. His heart must be kindled by Love. If there is no Love in his heart, he is not accepted in the school. Wherever he walks, whatever he does, he must know that there is no Love like God's Love. If he says so once, the question is over. If you ask why I do not reveal the secrets of nature to you, I say: I do not reveal them to you, because you do not have Love in your hearts. If you had Love, I would find many things for you. If I do you 99 good deeds, but only one mischief, you will kick everything I have done for you and renounce God. Today, most people are like that. What can be revealed to them? Whatever is is revealed to them, it is of no use to them. They will get worse, but not better. That is why the Bulgarians say: "God does not give horns to a prickly cow". I speak in principle, without anyone in mind. There is no hypocrisy in principles. The Scripture says, "God looks at the heart, not the face." God acts upon you according to your thoughts and feelings, according to what occupies your mind and heart. The Apostle Paul says, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." Remember: God makes things grow. Man cannot grow in you what the great Spirit of God is able to grow. For the Spirit to come to you, you must have planted something. You think that you can enter the Kingdom of God even without a Master. You are wrong, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without a Master. As much as a child can be born without a mother, so much can you be enlightened without a Master. You say, "I know everything." - You are a freeloader who lives far from the Kingdom of God. First, you must find your mother and father. Until you find them and know them, I have a special opinion of you. You are a fish, not a human. A fish does not know its mother and father. The greatest suffering that exists on earth is in the water, among the fish. They eat each other. There is no peace there. They are all chasing and eating each other. Now Christ is turning to you and speaking to you about the greeting Love. You will gain a little this year, but with Love. If you start to apologize, to give a number of reasons for your failure, you will know that no apologies are accepted. We do not take any obligations, we also do not accept any apologies. I ask: Can you make something out of Love? - I can. - If you can, keep your word! Even if the whole world rises up against you, do what you have promised. If you are cowardly, do not promise. Think about what you can do and then promise. Many do nothing, always wondering if they can do something out of Love or not. They will be thinking a lot more. Whoever undertakes something in the name of Love, will see that nothing is impossible in Love. The impossible is in the human mind, which does not obey God's law. If your Master has given you all the instructions and your Father - all the conditions, can there be anything impossible for you? Can you not study under these conditions? If you are deprived of conditions, you are justified; if you are not deprived, how will you justify yourselves? Work with Love and Freedom. What is your task today? - Applying the Divine harmony. The word harmony In Bulgarian is written with the letter "X" - a cross. So the cross means harmony. You will say that harmony is a dangerous thing. - For those who do not understand it, the cross is heavy; for those who understand, it represents the law of harmony. The Divine life is absolutely harmonious. It excludes any disharmony. That is why, when we talk about heaven, we understand a place of absolute harmony. "When you enter a house, give it your greeting." - Whom to greet? - God. It is said in the Scriptures that God does not live only in heaven, but also in the hearts of the humble, the poor in spirit. Therefore, when you meet someone humble, poor in spirit, greet him. Through him you greet the Lord, Who lives in his soul. A Christian, when he encounters someone poor in spirit, says, "I do not want to greet this man, I do not care." - You will be interested in him, because the great Spirit of God lives in his heart. When you enter his house, you will greet him. The One, Who lives in his house, will answer you and receive you. Now I also advise you to greet each other, so as not to offend the Lord, Who lives in your hearts and souls. If you offend the Lord, no excuse can save you. It is written, "Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." Beware not to speak against the Spirit, Who dwells in the hearts of humble and meek people. The Spirit is said to be an omnivorous fire. Do not turn your face away from the pauper. - He has karma. - Do you know what his karma is? There are cases when one person bears another one's karma that is already ripe. He is not on earth, but he must pay for it. His friend, who lives on earth, takes his karma and says to himself, “This is God's will. God is good. I will bear the karma of my friend with joy and Love." I say: This man is externally poor, internally rich. Today, more respect is required of you. Bulgarians are rude in general. There are gentle, polite people among you, but most of you are rude. I am telling you a truth. Everyone is looking for their right. If it comes to an obligation, there is none. Everyone strives for the first places. If they come to the obligations in the first places, they postpone their fulfillment. The first place is for the one who is ready to sacrifice himself with Love. The second place is for the one who has faith and trust in God. The third place is for the one who has hope. He is always happy. Then, if a man comes to my house with hope and joy, I will put him in third place; if someone comes with faith and trust, I will put him second, if someone comes willing to sacrifice, I will put him first. You ask, "Why did you not give me first place?" - You are not ready to sacrifice. - "Why did you not give me the second place?" - You have no faith and trust. - "Why did you not give me the third place?" - You have no hope, you are not happy. I want you to act like me, to put everyone in their place. Be gentle, delicate to one another, because the Divine thoughts and feelings grow only with mutual respect and esteem, with a good demeanour between you. If you are constantly angry and upset the Spirit within yourself, what kind of disciple will you be? - "I know what I am doing." - You do not know anything. - Do you know why someone commits crimes? Do you know why he does good? You do not know. The secret of life is hidden. Now, I do not want to judge you. If I judge you, I also condemn myself. I state the facts as they really are. I judge the essence of things by the results in the invisible world. Sometimes, when I sit and think, I feel that something is burning me - an arrow strikes me. I look for the cause and find it. One of my disciples had done something that caused pain. I perceive pain as an arrow. After a while another arrow strikes. Now one of my female disciples has done something wrong. I take some saliva from my mouth, smear the wound, and the pain goes away. That is what they know, that is what they do. Now, these disciples come to me, they want first places. No, this will not happen again. I have been trying to move from my place for 22 years, not a single hundred millionth of a millimeter. If you are not ready to fulfill the law of Love, you will know that I have nothing to do with you. I will not deal with you next time. Even if I want to meet you, I cannot. Others will deal with you. The law of love is strict and demanding. If you fulfill it, it will be good for you. If you do not fulfill it, I will go my way - to the right, and you will stay on the left. And then the more time passes, the more the road deviates. I will go up and you will stay down. We will meet again in thousands of years, but under other conditions. Now, as disciples, you are required to make a little, microscopic effort to do a little good. It may take you a minute or a second, but your future will depend on it. If you do not use at least one minute during the day for a good done with Love, it shows that you cannot apply the law of Love. This does not mean overdoing it. I say that the law of Love is strict. The higher your position, the more is required of you. The more knowledge you have, the more responsibility you bear. Three things are required of each person. First: To love the Lord with all your mind, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Second: To love your neighbour as yourself. Third: To love your enemy. The neighbour, this is your daughter; the enemy - your son. The son and daughter represent the material side of life. So, start with Love: Love for your soul, i.e. for your neighbour, and finally - for your enemy. - "How can I love my enemy?" - By first loving the Lord, then your neighbour. You will finally love your enemy. Whoever has fulfilled the first two laws will easily fulfill the third. Everyone, men and women, will strive to show each other mutual respect and esteem. Even if you do not love someone, you will try to find at least one good trait in them. You will love them for this trait. Only in this way will you develop the Love in yourself. Only in this way will you manifest the teachings of Christ. Only in this way will Christ enter your heart and reveal to you what your soul longs for. This is how your affairs will be put in order. You will not suddenly become rich, but you will acquire conditions for a happy life. A strong and unwavering will is required for that. Whatever you say, do it. This means being ready to make any sacrifice for Christ. No matter what difficulties and ordeals you find yourself in, do not hesitate. One of our brothers shared his experience. During the war, he was mobilized as a soldier and forced to carry a rifle. He said, "I cannot carry a rifle." - "Why?" - "I do not want to use it." He was beaten every day for disobedience. He was punished with beating for three years, but he endured. At one point, he said to himself, "If it continues this way, I will not be able to stand it." Soon after, the war ended and he was released. They asked him, "Why do you not want to carry a rifle and fight?" - "Before I was mobilized in the army, God had mobilized me as his soldier. I already serve the Lord, I cannot carry two rifles.” - “ Where is your rifle?” - “You will see it when you drop your rifle. You cannot see my rifle while carrying a rifle on your shoulder." I think this brother answered the questions well. Now I say to you: As long as you are mobilized by the Lord, you will fulfill the law of Divine peace. Only thus will you see that God is true in all His ways. This year I want the people of Sofia to set an example of respect and love for each other. I want something good to come out of Sofia. - What do you think, can anything good be expected from the people of Sofia? - Of course, it can. You will say, "May God help us!" Here, Love is knocking on your door. Accept it, and it will put all your affairs in order. - "May God enlighten us!" Here is faith knocking on your door. Open the door for it to enter. Love knocks on the heart, faith knocks on the mind, and hope - on the will. Open all three doors to receive these guests. Only in this way will all questions be resolved in a magical way, like Moses with his staff. He raised his staff and in the name of faith, hope and Love, parted the Red Sea and opened a way for them to pass through it. In the name of Love, anything is possible. You are thrilled, you want to lift up your staff like Moses. Open the doors of your heart, mind and will to achieve everything you desire. If you do not open these doors, nothing can be achieved. I ask: Should you fall into the situation of the one who said that in the name of the Lord he can heal the lame and the blind. He said to a lame man: "In the name of Love, get up!" The lame man struggled, but could not get up. Those who observed the experience realized that they were dealing with a liar, and beat him well. When asked why he was beaten, he replied: "Ungrateful people! They do not admit that they have a learned man in front of them." - That is not true. When you want to help the lame, the doors of your heart, your mind, and your spirit must be open. Then say, "Brother, in the name of the Lord, in the name of the great Spirit of God, rise up to glorify His name." Anyone can make this experiment, but should first check if the doors of their heart, their mind, and their spirit are open. Now do not think that I want to criticize you. I do not see your mistakes either, but I see the result of your life and I say, "Be careful not to suffer." If you put bombs somewhere, you will try them first. One day they will explode and cause you great misfortune. A villager from Kazanlak region set a trap in the forest to catch a bear. However, he saw in the morning that instead of the bear, his donkey was trapped. "When you enter a house, give it your greeting." - With what? - With faith, hope and Love. Say, "There is no Love like the Love of God." Only God's Love has manifested throughout all ages. Only it is infinite. All other forms of love are finite. God has limited Himself in them. - "Why?" - In order to manifest Himself. Every finite love is a statement of the infinite one. If you do not recognize the infinite Love in the finite one, you have lost all opportunities in your life to know Love. There is no Love like God's Love, because it contains all the conditions and possibilities in itself. Whoever achieves Love can do anything. The one who does not achieve it can do nothing. When you become faithful servants of Love, I will interpret for you the words "There is no Love like God's Love." Then you will keep and cultivate it, as the farmer ploughs the land and cultivates his crops. Just as the farmer and the vine grower know when to plough and dig the earth, when to sow and plant, so the man of Love knows when to show His Love and what methods to use. The words "There is no Love like God's Love" contain the great secrets of life. One of the secrets of life is the conception of the seed, then the growth, flowering, bearing and ripening of the fruit. Therefore, it is not enough just to conceive an idea, but to feed it, for it to grow, to blossom, to bear fruit, so that its fruit is brought before the altar of God. Then the Master will tell his disciple, “You have solved your task well. Only God's Love is Love." Experiment in the realm of Love, starting with the smallest, microscopic good. In doing so, try to do a little good first to those you do not love. It is easy to do good to those you love. You will clean the shoes of the one you do not love. This will produce a change in him. The little good done with Love is preferred to the great good without love. - Can anything come out of Sofia and the people of Sofia? - Maybe. - Then do what you can, but with Love. And I will do what I can with Love. This is how the issues are resolved correctly. If I do something but you do nothing, things are getting delayed. Or if you do something and I do nothing, the same result again. Should I sow and receive nothing? A gardener planted a watermelon, but nothing came out of it. He said, "Something will come out of it next year." If I am a watermelon grower, I will grow a garden next year, hoping to get something from it. If the garden does not produce anything, I will work something else. I will sow until I finally get something. If I make nothing, I lose and the seed also loses. These are figures you need to think about. - Can anything good come out of Sofia? - Yes, it can. - Will anything come out of your watermelon field? - Yes, it will. - I want you to produce big, sweet watermelons, like the Plovdiv ones. Now, I am talking to you naturally, casually. That is how I want you to talk. Let your speech be like the water of a spring, to flow naturally, without any effort. Let each one manifest as God created him. I wish you all to show your noble feelings, bright thoughts and sublime deeds. Work to develop your intuition. This is necessary for the present age. I am asking again: Can anything good come out from Sofia? - Yes, it can. - So be it! Talk by the Master held on 2 October, 1921 in Sofia Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Беседа за учителите и майките като възпитатели - 19.8.1920-СБ-301 / .: 19.8.1920-СБ-301 A Talk to Teachers and Mothers as Educators - What questions are you, teachers, interested in? They reply: - Especially about the upbringing - how should children be treated in schools? Observe how Nature begins its upbringing. First of all, do not use abstract principles with children, but use living forms. For example, by giving a child a slice of watermelon, pear, or apple, have it count how many seeds there are in that slice, in the apple or the pear, describe what their seeds are, and so on. And do you, adults, know how many seeds these fruits have? It is very important to know how many seeds are in each fruit and what they are. This is how you will learn a great law. Also, get young children interested in dealing with the flowers they love: watching how many petals the corolla has, how many stamens, and how they are arranged in the flower. Then let the child be interested in the shape of the flower and try to draw this flower in the simplest form. When the child draws the flower, it is already educating itself. Then you should start telling the child why the flower is nice, why the pear is sweet, and so on. In this way you will see what good feelings are aroused in children. In raising children, you will pay attention to them not to chase and torture the birds, not to tear the heads and wings of flies, explaining to them that they feel pain, just like us. When they realize that both birds and insects are suffering, children will say, "Well, we shall not hurt them in the future." Educate them in this way, do not tell them that this is a sin and that is a sin because they do not have the experience of sin - only the old man has the experience of sin. Tell the children that the flowers are happy and that they enjoy being watered. You can experiment in front of them to show that they are really happy. You have a pot with a flower that you have not watered for two or three days. Take your child by the hand, tell them, "Come, my dear, to see how happy this flower will be when we water it." You water it, and the flower begins to suck water thirstily; the soil and roots get well watered, and the flower enlivens and rejoices. This is the method, through which children can be definitely influenced. # 7 Also, get young children used to eating in moderation, showing them the bad effects of gluttony. But what do children do? They eat sour apples, eat unripe and unwashed plums, until their stomach hurts. Tell the children that by eating unwashed fruit, they also swallow the faeces of the flies, which make them ill. Therefore, before fruit is eaten, it should be washed in clean, warm water and thus given clean and nice to the child. Children love cleanliness, let them get used to not rushing to eat the fruit, but when given, first wash it with some warm water, then examine it and finally eat it. Observe the effect of different fruit juices on children. When children are nervous, naughty, it stems from the fact that they have accumulated impure substances; in order to get rid of this impure matter, make them take 30-40 baths in the summer. If there is such impure matter, if there are such thorns in children, you cannot preach any morals to them. Another thing to keep in mind is not to let children eat often. But mothers, every half an hour to one hour, they stuff their children with food, and this spoils them: "Come on, darling, a little piece!" It is best for the child to eat every four hours. It is enough for a seven-year-old child to eat four times a day. If you feed them more often, you will create bad habits for them. You have to be very sincere with children. They are very sensitive, they have a very strong sense of justice; they understand when the Truth is told to them and are very trusting. If they realize that you are not telling them the Truth, your pedagogy is over. That is why one must be honest with children. When children understand that the mother, the father, the teachers speak the Truth and there are no ulterior motives in them, they believe them completely. In raising children, occult science also recommends the following methods: when your child is naughty or irritated, run your hand ten times over the left side of its head and you will see how it will calm down. If you run your hand over the right side of its head, it starts to get even angrier and irritated. Because the left side of the brain works, try to apply all the positive energy there. - Does it matter with which hand we will caress the child? - Since you do not yet understand the laws, you will judge by your mood, with which hand you enjoy caressing the child - with the right or left one. In general, run your right hand over his head, and sometimes you can caress it with both hands, but caress the left side of the head more. Another method recommended by occult science in the upbringing of children is related to the influence of light. In the future, rooms with such geometrically correct shapes will be created, so that the light is reflected in the children's eyes correctly and harmoniously. If a mother wants to raise her child well, she must have the best disposition of her face, because her face casts shadows in her child's eyes. And notice, the child always looks at what the mother's face is. Through the expression on her face, she can influence the child in such a way as to produce a positive or negative effect on it. If the mother herself is hesitant about what she wants to apply, if she is undecisive, then let her postpone her plan until she is convinced that her method is correct. Let her not hurry in her actions, it may take an hour or two, or maybe a day or two. Take your time, let Nature work; if you act in accordance with it, you will have ten times better results than the results of your hasty actions. Mothers need to consider the tastes of their children, such as what clothes they like to wear, because each child has their own individual taste for dressing. If you distort this inner taste of the child, you are corrupting it. Do not distort the child's taste, but let it develop naturally. The new teaching recommends that if you have a boy, you should not let him hang out only with boys, but also with girls - this works perfectly. The friendship of good boys with girls is a very good educational tool. If you start to separate them from their earliest age, you corrupt them, you bring in feelings between them, as adults have. Take the children for a walk when the flowers are blooming, when the fruits are setting and ripening, acquaint them mainly with the general principles of these processes. As you take them out in Nature, tell them a tale or anecdote with a plot drawn from Nature itself; for example, something about why the color of the cherry and sour cherry is white and the color of the peach is pink, thus focusing their attention on them. Fairy tales work great. Another important condition in education is to acquaint children with singing and drawing. I like that in school children learn to sing and draw. - Which is better: to draw a fruit or to convey the content of a fairy tale through a drawing? - Everything is good, but to proceed from the Living Nature, to draw the materials from it. After the child goes through this first stage, let them make combinations. For example, give them an apple, have them draw it first, and then make a short description of it, describe its shape, color, and so on. This description will be childish, but the main goal is to create a small thought in the child. It is good to introduce children to the springs, rivers, so bring them out to a clear river or spring, tell the children about them and the benefit they offer us. Each of you can, through observations and attempts, further develop these methods and make them useful for children. You often see your children break off branches from trees, pick flowers, which they then shred and throw away as useless. Pay attention to them not to pick them by telling them that both trees and flowers feel pain. - When our children are already grown up and we see their shortcomings, realizing that they are the result of some mistake in our upbringing, how can we act safely and most effectively to correct our mistake, especially if the child does not listen a word. Is it not true that until we correct ourselves, we cannot correct our children? - This already concerns your personal life, it is something very serious. All of you who attend this school must have a very clear idea of God and always feel it alive. Make the following observations: when the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, your mood is good, you feel it and rejoice. The weather may be so clear and beautiful until the evening, but if you commit a sin during the day, you upset your Lord and the sky becomes cloudy in the evening, the Lord hides His face from you and you feel a change inside your soul. If you repent deeply of your mistake by evening, the sky will begin to clear. So, the Lord feels the sins that we are committing, and He immediately manifests Himself in the thickening of the vapours, and He tells us, "I cannot show you My face." Heaven is the face of God, it is alive, and if your eyes are opened, you will see that heaven smiles when you are good and says, "Today you are very good." When you do something wrong, you get scared, sad, you hide at home, you do not want to look at the sky. This shows that our Lord is dissatisfied with our actions. Therefore, we must always try to keep our relationship with God pure, sincere, not to send any negative thoughts and desires from our heart and mind, and to know that everything is for the good. If any evil befalls us, let us not say that God is also like that, if He allows evil. - Can changes in the sky happen only because of one person? - Yes, such changes can only happen because of one person. Why was the sky gloomy yesterday? Here some brothers offended the Spirit and the storm came immediately. The Lord says, "I am sending you this obscuration to show you that I am not pleased with you." - And if the reason is just one person? - It happens even then - one or many does not matter, the law is the same. - In all such cases, should we always look for the cause in ourselves? - No, there are also natural changes, but we can alter a natural change in Nature. We can stop God's blessing coming, but we can also stop God's punishment coming. - How? - When we repent, we will stop the punishment, and when we sin, we will stop the blessing. So when God decides to do something, do not think that He is absolutely determined - as soon as you change your intention, God also changes His decision. God is so kind! Whatever change you make in your intentions, God makes the same decision towards you. He is a reflection of our lives. I will tell you what to do if you doubt the Lord and say, "I am already giving up this job and changing my life," you will see that if you are a woman, your husband and friends will change their attitude toward you. Why is that? Because you have changed your attitude toward the Lord, and because we all live in the Lord, therefore He and all people change their attitude toward you. If you decide to correct yourself, to return to God - both the people and your friends begin to correct their behavior towards you. Love God and set your relationship with Him right! If you sacrifice your Lord for this or that person, you are on the wrong path. Do not sacrifice your Lord for anything in the world! - We must show our Love for God not in words, but in deeds. - Yes, in deeds, of course, otherwise God will say: "These people honour Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me." I am telling you about changes that are also taking place in Nature itself. If your vision is sensitive, you will notice the following phenomena when the Sun rises: if you have committed a sin, then when you go out in the morning to watch the sunrise, you will see that the dawn is not so pleasant for you. There is a dissatisfaction in you from the rising of the sun. Change your position, correct your mistake and you will see that the dawn begins to smile on you at sunrise. Do not think that this is an allegory, but experiment and you will notice the relationship that exists between your actions and the sunrise. This relationship is the same as the reflections on our face. You meet someone and ask him, "Why is your face so gloomy?" His face is gloomy from your reflections on him, you feel that something bad is coming from the changes that are taking place in you. As our mood changes, so does our face. Someone meets you and says to you, "Today I like your face." Our face conveys the disposition of our soul, therefore the sky above conveys the reflection of this living Lord. I am telling you these things, but you should not pick on them, do not go to tell others, but check them, try and when you see that they are true, then speak. If you speak before trying, you will be called deluded. Until you make this little attempt, restrain yourselves; only experience can validate your words. We will start with the Living Nature and we will see the disposition of God in the beautiful fruits, in the beautiful flowers, in the pure springs that gush. For example, this year they expected a lot of fruit from the vineyard, but there was none. They say that it has dried up, blighted, etc., but we know why this happened. The vineyard in Bulgaria is an emblem of the Bulgarian. Measures are now being taken to chase us, but the vineyards have begun to dry up; if the persecutions do not stop, the apples will also begin to dry up, and if they do not come to their senses even then, there will be disease appearing in the wheat. If the persecution ceases, the improvement of the vineyards will begin immediately. The Lord gives all the fertility on Earth to His good children. A good child feeds nine bad ones in one house. The father says, "If this good child were not in the house, I would leave my home, but for its sake, I will also feed the others." So, for one good child in the house, the Lord gives His blessing to the others. The Lord says that He holds His good children written on His palm, so that He can always see and think of them. - Can children from the age of fourteen onwards be teachers to their parents, for example by giving the right advice? Should their parents listen to them and take their advice into account? - If the child speaks the Truth, the mother should accept this Truth, but she must be careful that the child does not understand it, because pride can be aroused in them. - Are rewards and punishment useful in education? - They can be applied, but not to be abused. - What influence do toys have on the upbringing of children? - Beneficial, but they have to be natural. The bicycles that children play with are not made according to occult laws. Some of them give a very bad result. - What kind of toys should children use? - Walnuts, hazelnuts, gallnuts, balls, colourful stones and others. If the children live by the sea, let them collect various sea shells, cockles and play with them. - Is it good for children to play with rubber balls? - It is useful, but sometimes they have a negative effect on children, because by squeezing and loosening the ball, they see that there is a weak, unreliable object in their hands. Therefore, it is better for a child to play with a ball that it cannot destroy and to feel it dense and solid in its hands. - Is it good for children to make their own dolls? - Yes, it is good to make dolls, houses, ovens, because their imagination takes part in that. - From the occult science viewpoint, is it good to detach children from their mother's influence and put them in various nurseries, boarding houses and other institutions to take care of their upbringing? - Before the child gets 10-15 years old, it is not good to be separated from the influence of its mother. Whether for a boy or a girl, a period of fifteen years is necessary for them to spend with their mother. - Does the father influence the child? - Yes, he does. - Where there is no mother, can the father take her place? If there is no father, can the relatives take the place of the parents? - Both the father and the relatives, also anyone close to the family can replace the mother, because the mother never dies. - So these children do not feel like they have no mother? - No, they do not. Another point, that mothers should pay attention to when raising their children, is not to put them in deep cradles. Deep cradles are bad for children. Notice in which nests the birds put their young. Their nests correspond to the Truth the most. They are not very deep. Birds make their nests on the branches of trees, where the wind itself swings them, and that is better than mothers swinging their children. So the cradles of the birds are much nicer than those of the children. - In general, should cradles exist, because there is a dispute on this issue in pedagogy? - There are two types of cradles in families: on ropes and in troughs. In the first ones the child gets very dizzy. The best cradles are those that are close to the natural ones. Some mothers are against swinging. Too much swinging is not good. In general, do not use cradles as a means of falling asleep. Sometimes the mother puts her child in the cradle and, whether it sleeps or not, she swings it and intensifies the swinging until the child gets dizzy and falls asleep. Under the current conditions, it is difficult to apply the new methods of education. Applying new methods in the current upbringing is like patching an old garment with a new patch - the hole gets even bigger. If you apply the new methods, you have to apply them completely, not just superficially, otherwise you will get bigger holes. Work to strengthen the will. How? You are sad, distressed about something, you have a big trouble in life, try to turn this state into a positive one through the strength of your will. You have a thought that torments you, say to yourself: "God is good, everything will turn for the better!" You observe someone being sad, do not ask him why he is sad, but try to find the reason for his sadness and remove it. A child's mother has died and he is grieving. You ask him why he is sad. He is sad because he has lost his mother's Love. If you take his mother's place, he will be comforted immediately. For example, one of you is sad. Why? Because his mother is not there. All the sorrows we experience are due to the fact that we are deprived of Love. When we deprive ourselves of Divine Love, in whatever form it is, we will feel sadness. When this Love comes again, the joy immediately returns too. This is the first Love - the Divine Love. This first Love is also the unchangeable Love in life. Also, try not to reduce all people to one denominator, do not want all people to be like you. The pleasure of earthly life lies precisely in diversity. The more diversity there is in the world, the better. That is why the Bulgarian proverb rightly says: "Spring does not happen with one flower." Thousands and millions of flowers and plants are needed to believe that spring is coming, and then summer. Thousands, millions of flies are needed for us to say that summer has come. So when someone is grieving, sad about something, strain your mind to find a way to secretly do them good without asking them why they are sad. - Shall we help them mentally? - Yes, by heart, mentally. - Is it possible when something good is done to someone mentally, he can feel it immediately? - He will feel it and will thank God without telling you anything about it. If you tell him that you did this, all your efforts are lost. Nature immediately breaks up your false thought. You rejoice for yourself that your thought has worked, and let him understand that someone has helped him, and let him rejoice for himself as well. - How to protect ourselves from spiritual robbery, because we have heard that some people are very afraid of such robberies? - No one can rob the rich spring and everyone can rob the poor one, but these are small exceptions. Imagine that we are in the same society and we protect ourselves from being robbed by this and that; this thought is exchanged between everyone, and this is already an extremity. The new teaching must begin with experiments. You meet a poor man - do not tell him that God is good and will give him, but call him to your home, feed him, give him something to bring back and then say: "God is good!" He will answer you: "Indeed, God is good! They fed me, clothed me. The living example is important. - We have decided not to kill animals and not to eat meat, but what should we do when we go somewhere to visit and we are treated to meat? - If you have decided to put an end to this once and for all, you will say, "If you love me, do not harm me, because eating meat is bad for me." We must act in principle, be consistent, but at the same time be gentle and polite. If someone asks you what to cook for you, tell them they can give you some bread and salt. Everything in you should be based on deep inner convictions, should come from the heart and there should be no two opinions as to whether it has to be done this way or another. Let us not force anyone to accept this or that, but to wait for things to happen naturally, for all transformations to take place from the inside out, because what is inside does not decompose, and what is outside decomposes. - How to proceed when you, as a teacher, speak to the students against eating meat, but their mother does not agree with it and makes them eat meat? - You will act gradually, you will educate them morally. You will tell the children about the unfortunate lambs who are left alone after their mother has been slaughtered. In order for the children to feel the situation of the lambs more vividly, you will give them the example of the misfortune that befalls children when they lose their mother. By understanding the situation of the orphans, the children will understand the situation of the lambs whose mother was slaughtered. - What should we do with a mother that goes against the words of the teacher when he advises the children at school? The teacher says that it is not good to slaughter animals, but the mother tells the child: "Take the knife and cut off the head of this hen!" - It is hard to work with the old devil. - Some say that the Bible also says that you can eat lamb and consume meat. - Yes, it is said that they lowered from heaven for the Apostle Peter a cloth full of all kinds of animals. However, this is figurative, it means that someone's life must be changed from bad to good or from ordinary to Divine. - Should corporal punishment be allowed in schools? What should the teacher do when faced with the dilemma of maintaining his authority or punishing the student? - The new teaching does not allow in principle any corporal punishment. - Light strokes with a stick magnetize children, don't they? - If your child or student is naughty, let someone else use the stick, not you. If the child has not listened to you, when it goes out to play with the others, within less than half an hour the children will beat him and he will come to complain to you, and you will then say: “Did you see, my dear, if you had listened to me in the morning, this would not have happened to you." - What should be the food of small children? - At the earliest age of children, Nature recommends breast milk, and then - that of livestock. It is good to give children wheat juice, it is nutritious. You, mothers, have experience in feeding the children; now all you have to do is check everything you know and apply something new based on that experience. There should be some variety in the food. - What do pears contain and what benefits do they bring? - They contain more iron. - How about apples, plums? - They contain fruit sugar that is useful. It is good to eat fruit with some bread. Still, one has to consider his taste and thus use the fruit. Use only those fruits that you love, while those that you do not like, use less often. Under current conditions, it is not good to eat only bread or only fruit - this is an extremity. - Then what should fruit be replaced with? - What do you replace them with? - Sometimes with beans or something else. - It is not good to eat a lot of beans. It is good to use leeks, as well as onions and fresh cabbage, for which there is a way to preserve in winter. - Is it good to eat sour cabbage? - Yes, but not for everyone. - What about green beans? - It is better than kidney beans. - How to deal with children who make many mistakes? - What do you do? You beat them, don't you? If your old methods work, keep them until you get new, more effective ones. When one applies the New teaching, one must completely change the old methods. If you want to add the current old methods some new ones without discarding the old ones, this is incompatible, larger holes will be formed. In upbringing, do not start with softness and end with rudeness, but rather start with rudeness and end with softness. The new teaching requires softness in our relationship. Also in Nature, sometimes storms appear, earthquakes occur and these sudden actions are replaced by other, smooth, slow actions - so there are also sharp changes happening in it. Do not think that these faults that you have, will magically disappear one day just like that. Do not think that after living a righteous life for ten years, a big change will happen inside you. It takes a lifetime of hard work to make a significant change happen in you. With this karma that you have, nothing can be done in one fell swoop of ten years. For example, let us say you have a karma of eight thousand years; if you need ten years of righteous life for every thousand years of paying off karma, then you will need eighty years of righteous life to liquidate that karma. If your karma is two thousand years old, you need twenty years of hard work to eliminate it; if your karma is a thousand years old, you will liquidate with it in ten years of pure and holy life. But those who regulate this law do not allow karma to be paid off at once. - In general, should everything be repaid, or is there a small cancellation? - The Lord requires you to fix everything that you have ruined after all; you will build the house as it was, and then you will have a pardon, forgiveness - everything will be liquidated. - Yesterday the question of perpetuum mobile was raised here - whether the law of perpetuum mobile is applicable. - It has its resolution in the Living and Intelligent Nature. Until the question is resolved as in Nature, it remains only a hypothesis which must become a theory, the theory - an experiment, and the experiment to be realized. Some may accept this statement and others may reject it, but both are 50% correct. The law of the physical world is 50% true. - It is said that the secret of the movement of this machine lies in the personality of man. Is this true? - Yes, the engine only moves with the engine driver. Perpetuum mobile - this is an idea for exercise, for gymnastics of the mind; it will be a long time before this law is implemented. - This issue in modern scientific mechanics is resolved negatively. - If people today invented and applied perpetuum mobile, they would do the greatest evil in the world. That is why Nature has covered in darkness the power of this realm. Once we tackle such questions, we will come to a place where things become obscure, where we encounter impenetrable darkness, which shows that we are approaching an essence whose discovery is not allowed. You can form a perpetuum mobile in yourself. Each of you can become a perpetuum mobile. The youth and energy you see in workers who are working on the idea of perpetuum mobile is due to it. This idea rejuvenates and invigorates them, and they endure all hardships with the greatest patience. The idea of this eternal movement rejects all bad thoughts in man, and he has almost attained perpetuum mobile in himself. That is why these people carry this beautiful thought in their souls. - Will this idea be realized in the physical realm during the period of sixth race? - These things, which are currently impossible, will be possible in the future. The question is whether this idea will be realized in one form or another. Whatever form it presents itself in, it does not matter. - What is the meaning of shooting stars? - Science has not given a positive answer to this phenomenon. This happens on 11 August and 26 December, because then the Earth passes through the orbit of these small bodies. - When flying a plane, the existence of celestial cavities has been noticed, where there is a strong counter current. The large hail that falls, is said to have broken away and fallen from large icebergs that exist. - Flammarion has collected and described some extraordinary phenomena in Nature. For example, a piece of ice that weighed a ton, fell in a city. In the future, science will give a more correct explanation of such kind of phenomena. Have you observed such a psychological method? You say a few words or a phrase to someone, and that person remains unhappy with you. Or a poet writes something and everyone likes it, they are happy with it, while another poet writes something conceptual - people cannot stand it. What causes this to happen? If you put together a series of words with strong letters, they will form a chain of strong shocks, which will have a bad effect on people who do not like these strong shocks. Therefore, although there is a good idea in a writer's book, if there are very strong letters in his words, they will cause disharmony in the mind. For example, if you say the name Máro with an emphasis on the first syllable, you will cause a bad effect, pain. If you say Maríyke, you reduce this bad effect. Therefore, you must be careful when pronouncing every word, every name and every phrase, so as not to provoke unpleasant feelings in the listeners. There are many names that cause a similar effect. For example, the name Michal in Bulgarian language has a completely repulsive character. The "mi" syllable is soft, but if the second syllable "hal" is uttered, it creates a whole storm. The letter "a" at the beginning or end of a syllable has a harmful, irritating effect. For example, if you tell someone "I love you", it is unpleasant (N.B. the word for "I" in Bulgarian is "az", which starts with an "a") . You love me, so what, many thousands of people love me! If you say that to someone, it means that your love is a little different from the love of others, and this is not yet known. However, if you put the word love in an impersonal form, the effect is stronger than if it is used in a personal form. So, if you say "Love you," it shows that just as others love you, I also love you. When you say the word "I", you must understand the God in yourself. If you do not understand Him, do not mention Him. - The sound, the letter "a" corresponds to the tone "la". - You have to study the music in soft tones. Anyone who wants to give volume and space to their soul should do exercises with the letter "a". The sound "a" is open, vocal. - How to interpret that after every hundred million turns there is one exception? - This is a transition from one state to another. The movement passes into a new form. Suppose that the space between the Earth and the Sun is filled with etheric matter, and as it orbits the Sun, the Earth encounters an obstacle that gradually causes some change in it. If there is such an obstacle, no matter how small it is, when it meets the Earth, it creates an exception. For millions of years, as a result of this obstacle, the Earth will slow down its movement until it finally returns to the Sun. There will come a time when this turning around the Sun will stop. This is how this exception is interpreted. It is already acting in the constituent parts of matter and a reorganization is taking place in it. When this reorganization is complete, the present continents will disappear and new ones, created from better matter, will appear. - Does the same law apply to the flesh? - Yes, once we make a hundred million turns around our axis, change also awaits us. People do not know that every change that takes place on Earth, also takes place inside us, because matter is the same. And so, the brain, the eyes, the respiratory, the nervous, the skeletal systems, all the plants and animals, everything will change. If we are not ready for the new time, to create new organs, we will suffer, but if we manage to create new organs, a new life will come for us. The good people will not lose anything, good things are coming for them, but for the bad people - great suffering. 19 August, Thursday, 4:30 pm. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Образуване на един клас - 22.8.1920-КД-307 / .: 22.8.1920-КД-307 Formation of One Class 22 August, 1920, Sunday, V. Tarnovo. Memories and transcript of sister Savka Keremidchieva. At the initiative of the Master, we gathered ten young sisters - three from Varna and seven from Sofia: Sotirka, Dafinka, Victoria, Pasha, Olya, Siika, Mariyka, Nevenka, Stefka and me, Savka. The Master told us in the upper room: Are you ready to follow the Path of the New Teaching boldly and decisively? Any student who hesitates cannot learn. In our school, as soon as a student loses faith that he can learn, he ends up with himself. Every disciple who loses his faith, puts his learning to an end. Now I will give you three rules, three methods, through which you can protect yourselves. Because young people are exposed to great hardships in the world; not just the young, but also the old. There are falls happening. The fall always stems from the fact that when the balance in the physical world is lost, one falls. It is the same in the spiritual world. There too, when a person loses his balance, he falls. This balance lies in three great forces - the human mind, the human heart and the human willpower. When a person acts harmoniously, he never falls, but when he loses the balance between mind, heart and willpower, he falls. And every fall causes suffering. There is no person who has not suffered any damage when falling. You have seen those acrobats who walk on a rope and carry a pole. One such acrobat represents a triangle with the top down. Whoever acts on the physical field turns this triangle upside down to keep his balance, but in the spiritual world this triangle is turned with its top facing up. It shows that the forces in man are in balance. When you are indisposed, if you can turn this triangle in this position, as here in the drawing, the discomfort will immediately disappear. Now, you are not surprised that when a child cries and his mother gives him an apple, the indisposition immediately disappears (Fig. 1). What is the reason for this indisposition to disappear? (The shape.) The more beautiful the apple, the happier this child will be. The same thing happens in the spiritual world. These triangles are shapes of the rational world. (Fig. 2) So, the first time you will imagine that your mind, your heart and your willpower are in agreement and there is no disagreement among them, because the slightest disagreement between mind and heart will cause your unhappiness. Therefore, do not rent your mind to anyone, because if you rent it to someone, you will lose your balance. Do you know when it is rented? When you start thinking about things with someone else's mind. So, everything has to go through your mind. If it does not pass through your mind and if you perceive things differently, the fall will surely come. The second law is: do not rent your heart to any tenants. It is also the same law. Every feeling, every desire must necessarily pass through your heart. It is the same with the human willpower. A person must experience everything through one's willpower. I am not talking about obstinacy and self-will. The willpower - it is a rational act. In this inner circle, you will observe the idea of the soul in its first state. The circle consists of three colours: purple, green and orange. The purple colour of the circle means strength; the green means striving for growth and prosperity, and the orange - a desire for constant individualization. These three forces are in that Divine soul in which the feelings rest. One must have strong and vivid desires to grow, develop properly. The orange colour shows that you need to properly individualize, i.e. your individualization should not interfere with anyone. For example, you have a temptation; evoke drawing number two in your mind. This figure is associated with three worlds, which are found in the Divine world, the angelic world and the sublime world. So, if you cause the triangle formed here in your mind and cause the action of God, the angels, the saints, if you fix your mind on it, you will immediately attract these Divine forces to help and they will come to your aid. The law is very simple. There must be a hearth first, then a fire. Not only a hearth is needed, but also a chimney to form a certain current and keep the fire going. The third figure represents a way to rectify your life. These lines are worlds with strictly defined mathematical meanings. Now you, girls, start from B, go up to B1, B2, V3... and you go towards A. At the same time a boy starts from A to A1, goes towards B and you meet in point O. If your heart is full of hope, love and faith, another soul will definitely come from the other pole, and if you walk correctly, these two souls will meet and their lives will be meaningful - there is no fall. But if you hesitate at the beginning, you will lose this soul, or all kinds of suffering will be born. It is necessary for a person to keep his faith and hope and to know that this Path, which he has entered, is right, and he should not allow any doubt in God's Providence. Whatever believes he has, he should know that he is on this Divine ship. There may be stormy waves, but this ship cannot sink. These are the rules of the great occult School. From the proper development of the School will come that inner Divine world, where man will complete his development and will come to help his brothers in point C. Because you start from this line, from one center, another one will come from the other center. If you go correctly, this matter will develop properly from above within one year, and all the thoughts and desires that bother you will disperse and a new Light will come into your soul; but if you hesitate, not only will you not gain, but you will lose everything. Everyone is given assistance to walk the Path. As you go on this Path, all these worlds direct their gaze and they follow everyone who walks on the Path. You can walk it in one, ten, a hundred, a thousand years, but this is the Path that stands in front of you. Then, when you come to the third figure, there is no more falling. As you set out on this Divine Path, there is no force that can take you out of it. Now, it depends on how you perform. There is no external cause or force to divert you from the Path. So, if you stop by, you have to say to yourself, "It is our fault, not the external conditions of life." The danger is only within you. The second figure, it is the Divine soul that is helping. The third figure, it is the Divine Soul that is evolving. Just do not deviate. Never overeat in your life! If you are joyful; never, ever add more - the reverse process will come. With every overeating, oversaturation of any kind, the reverse process will come. Do not want neither more nor less, but as much as is given, i.e. be grateful for what life has brought you during the day. If they give you a lot, do not say you have been given a lot. If they give you a little, again, do not say that you have been given too little. If you say "I have been given a lot", then tomorrow you will say, "Now it is too little for me." You will be silent. If you say that, you will start going up and down. As much as you are given, so much you need. This is the correct mindset in this occult School. Always keep purity and self-control in mind. The two together form the whole pole of equilibrium. You cannot pass anywhere without this pole. You will think and resolve. These are projects. And you will watch these figures come to life, to spiritualize them in yourself. Now, are you ready to follow the Path boldly and decisively? - Yes, we are ready! - Without any hesitation? - Without any! - I was silent, but my soul was speaking. 22 August, 1920, Sunday, V.

Готов превод Работа върху чистотата и самообладанието - 23.8.1920-СБ-311 / .: 23.8.1920-СБ-311 Working on Purity and Self-control The four pictures that you see here express the law of self-control. This law works only through the mind. So through the mind a person can control himself, so his thoughts have to be harmonious. In applying the law of self-control, you must know that in man's soul are rooted three great forces, which God has invested in him and which no one can take away from him. This is expressed in the first picture, a triangle with a circle in the middle - the circle has three colours: the outer, violet one, represents the potential power of the soul's manifestation, the green colour represents the power of the soul's development, and the third, the orange colour, represents the power of its individualization. Such souls are called crystalline. Do not think that these souls are above - there are such souls embodied among all the nations of the Earth. When there are several such souls in a nation, they are its ideal, they create it, they are the souls that rest in God. The second picture, three circles with a triangle in the middle, means the luminous souls. This light is inherent in man himself and no one can take it away from him - no one can extinguish the light you have, except yourself. If your light ever goes out, know that you are the cause, not anyone else. So says the Occult School of the White Brotherhood. The third picture, three intertwined circles and two triangles in the middle, means souls of people in the shadows who sink but do not drown. They are the current people in whom good and evil are intertwined. The spirit loves to dive into matter. The hexagon shows that the spirit has plunged into matter. Do not be afraid of any catastrophe - no one can obstruct your spirit, it will come out. If you are in doubt, you remain at the bottom, death is coming. In the Occult School, no doubt is allowed in the souls and hearts of the disciples. If doubt is ingrained in your souls and hearts, it is a poison that will destroy you. And only God is life and light - where there is life and light, there is God; where there is no life and light, there is no God. Therefore, there is suffering there, and where there is suffering, there is torment. But you should not be afraid of these states - if you follow the Divine path, your spirit is like that master swimmer who, knowing how to dive into the world, will also know how to get out. However, if you get scared, you will obstruct your spirit and it will remain down under the waves. Believe that your spirit, which dives under the waves, will win. As disciples, you have to think that way, and then you will go straight on the beaten path. So the power you have, no one can take away from you; the light you have, no one can turn off; and the spirit you have, no one can defeat. As you walk this path, no force will be able to distract you from it. So, you will know that the cause of everything that happens is no one but yourself. No doubt! If anyone doubts, the White Brothers will not help him. The fourth picture shows the real method by which a person can develop, i.e. the path of its evolution. When you decide to live according to God, as soon as you come out of the Divine Soul as men and women, you will be met by kindred souls, who will bring in you impetus, strength and aspiration in the world, and above, at the top of the middle triangle, they will merge with you. This is the end of human evolution. If you doubt the path that you are following, you will not meet your kindred soul and life will lose its meaning for you. In order to be a student of the White Occult School, you must remember these four pictures. They are a method of self-control of the mind and therefore during the year you will study arithmetic, mathematics and geometry. This is one of the best methods for concentrating the mind. Now I will show you a living picture. You will only peek from the door, you should not enter inside, because the radiations of your bodies will disturb the oscillations of its light - you will enter there only with your heart, not with your mind. You will distinguish between the light in this room and the light you will see around the living picture. The light you will see there is fixed, there is no movement in it. We love the pure and the sublime, it is an aspiration of the soul. If you remember the light you will see, it will be a help and encouragement in your life. You will enter the Upper Room only six people at a time and will stay there for two minutes. After everyone had lined up, the Master continued: This image that you saw is called the Image of the Twelve Virtues. Light is produced in a simple, ordinary way, but energy is occult and is transformed by certain laws. There is a rapid movement, rapid vibration of light happening there, and therefore its oscillations are not noticeable. If the vibrations are weak, you will notice that smoke is emitted. This light once burned in you - you will someday remember that. The seven lights are the seven Spirits around the throne of God - the seven flames of the soul. Try to keep this pleasant purity and light of the living picture in your mind. When the light reaches in man the state not to vibration, then it is pleasant; when this light is born in you, you will not hesitate. This living picture is connected with the four fields of the Cosmos, it is connected with Paradise. Its light has a calming effect on the soul, it elevates man. By virtue of certain laws, it falls from different angles. If you put in your mind and heart the pictures that you saw here, nothing will be able to make you hesitate. The Scripture says, "Do as you have seen!" The Apostle Paul, who had to organize the Christian Church, was taken to the third heaven, and from what he saw there, he began to teach people. Now there are also different ways of seeing - first you have to see, to read things, but you still need to understand them and know how to transform them to become a force in your soul. Hearts are needed now. Many of you have lost your hearts. Do you know how? When someone diverts the stream of your water, your heart begins to dry up and you become dissatisfied. What do you need? Release your stream so that water can flow into your heart. Knowledge without God's Love makes the world oppressive. Too much learning is torture of the flesh - Solomon studied many things, but he saw that life without Love, though with much knowledge, is nothing. The more you know, the more you will suffer. It is the same in the world - you leave with an empty bag, you meet someone hungry, another one hungry and you regret that you cannot help them. What good is a bag hanging on your back if it is empty! But if your bag is full, you will give to one hungry person, you will give to another hungry person and you will satisfy them. This is God's Love, this is the living bread. This is how God's Love, manifested on Earth, is understood. Harmony must be established among you, among your souls - this is what you will do this year. You will not conjugate the verb "I can not". You sometimes conjugate "I can", sometimes "I cannot", sometimes "I want", sometimes "I do not want". When I was traveling by train from Sofia to Tarnovo, there was a young man in the carriage who was smoking a lot. I asked him, "Can you quit smoking?" - "Yes, I can, I have the willpower, but I do not want to." We continued on our way; after a while he said, "You will see that within 24 hours I will quit smoking and I will not smoke from next morning on." Two other young men volunteered to control him. So, you too, throw away the cigarette case right now! Some of you will be able to establish complete harmony with each other within 24 hours, others within two days, still others within more days, and some within in a whole year. God is one, He is like a mother, like a father, and like a brother, and you are the fourth person. So, God manifests to you as Love, as Wisdom and as Truth. And to all this the Orthodox say: "There is no salvation outside the Orthodox Church." Done with the Orthodox Church! I say: there is no salvation outside of God - God is the salvation of the world! The father and mother should have a kind face - if they frown, the child knows and mourns; if they smile - it gets into a good mood. A person should have a face like his heart, says the great Occult School. In order to see a Divine picture, you have to understand the beautiful pictures of the Sun, which you need to observe for years. They are a combination of clouds and lights and inspire something great in man, so in your future upbringing you have to change the forms and return them to their original state. Forms are created by God, but we distort them - we must not spoil what God has done. It is a great blessing to see an open soul. This is the true teaching - no doubt, no hesitation! What you have invested in you is Divine - if you doubt, you replace the Divine with the human. Do not think that the path of a good man is paved with roses - if some love him, others hate him. This is the case on Earth for now. But people's heavy karma also provokes opposite reactions. Once you recall the second picture, the triangle with a circle in the middle, the White Brothers will recognize you. They are here. The equilateral triangle is the basis of the White Brotherhood and therefore the first triangle in geometry is the equilateral one. God does not like any doubt - whoever doubts has no success. The Scripture says, "The double-minded man is unstable in all his ways." The Divine way is one. In order to understand the inner meaning of things, conditions are needed. For example, how will you know the value of bread? If someone goes hungry for five or six days in the desert and then is given a hundred grams of bread and a glass of water, he will say, "Now I understand the price of bread." Absolute purity of heart is required from you! If an impure person enters the room where the living picture is, he will get a stroke, but if a clean person enters, he will come out rejuvenated. For healthy people, the sun's rays are pleasant, but the sick get a stroke from them - the counteraction of light produces a sunstroke. Those people who are not ready for spiritual life become embittered, and if a person starts living in the shadows, he becomes like a moth, like an owl. In the future, you will live by principles, not laws. There are contradictions in the laws - the Divine World is manifested according to principles, the angelic world - according to laws, and the human world - according to facts. For example, someone has committed a crime - this is a fact, and the law is to be punished for this crime. So we combine the facts with the laws and then there is a connection. When you do good, no one praises you - you study the laws of the angels only in their negative sense and therefore you do not succeed. But in the future only the laws of the Good will be studied, which will give impetus to the Good. In the Occult School, there will be justice for the good people, the judgment of the sinners will cease, but the righteous will be judged - we will not punish, but we will reward. The new laws of the future society will work in the Occult School - we are bringing the new in the world. We will have judges, prosecutors, guards only for good people, and we will abolish the current court proceedings. We will ask: "What is your case about?" "About a crime." "We do not deal with such cases. If it is about good, we will protect you." These are the new thoughts that we will analyze in the future. And now you will try to walk in the path of the White Brothers. They will meet you at every step and will help and assist you throughout the year. If you do not walk this new path, you will tread the old path. You must have faith in Wisdom and Love. If your soul is connected to the causal world, where principles work, people will be able to unite there. Where there are laws, there is no unanimity, but where there are principles, disagreements disappear. Try to do all that is required of you throughout the year, and the White Brothers will help you to be clean, to control yourselves, and not to think that there is no one to meet you on the path you are walking. Everything will be as God has commanded - those who walk in God's path will receive all the blessings. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Голям е само Бог - 23.8.1920-ИБ-310 / .: 23.8.1920-ИБ-310 Only God is Great In this school you have entered, purity and self-control are needed. Without purity and self-control, perfection cannot be achieved. One of the best sciences of self-control is mathematics. Humility represents a method of small magnitudes in mathematics. Each of you needs to know how small a magnitude you are. Each is a very small magnitude. Only God is great and large. Angels are an environment for the transformation of small and large magnitudes. Your relationships are: first, your relationship with God. As you enter this school, do not try to change yourselves, but let your transformation be carried out by the Divine Spirit. The second picture shows that no force in the world can stop your evolution unless, of course, you stop it yourself. When your Spirit comes, to let you into the water, do not be afraid, because these are trials - a powerful exercise of your spirit, which is in your body. Doubts are not allowed in the occult school. The point here is to know God. And once we know Him, He already knows us. We are not allowed in the occult school to do evil… 23 August 1920 Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод Аз ще го възкреся! - 27.11.1921-НБ-401 / ...: 27.11.1921-НБ-401 I Will Raise Him Up! "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:54) I will read to you part of the 6th chapter of the Gospel of John - from verse 41 onwards. Some conclude that no one has seen God. It is not like that: many have seen Him. Christ says, "Not that anyone has seen the Father." Everyone who is from God has seen God. I will speak on verse 54. Some of Christ's disciples, though being disciples, were seduced when Christ told them, "Unless you eat My flesh and drink My blood, you have no life in you" This is a fact: the flesh and blood of all animals - geese, turkeys, lambs - that people eat, is the body of Christ. And these people are seduced. This is literally true. For 8,000 years, humans have been feeding on the flesh and blood of these lambs. Christ wants to say, "You have eaten My flesh and drunk My blood, but you have not obtained eternal life"- that is literally correct in the true sense of the word, but there is something more significant about His teaching: "Unless you eat this flesh and drink My blood, you will not have eternal life." That is, if you do not accept my teaching and apply it, you cannot gain eternal life. And then he adds, "At the last day I will raise him up." The first phase: they will eat and drink - that is what people do. But that is not the point. When will this true meaning be revealed? - At the last day, i.e. I will resurrect them when people change this order of things. Which is this last day! - -The one that everyone is afraid of. It is terrible! They say, "It is the last day!" The merchant who has to pay 100,000 says, "It is the last day, they will come tomorrow," and he does not have a penny. Someone is being put to trial. His heart is pounding - it is the last day, he could be sentenced to 10 years in prison. The maiden leaves her father's house, she goes to the young boy - it is the last day, there is a transitional state. Therefore, the last day is the day when the great life begins. The great, the infinite, the one that has meaning in itself, always begins on the last day. And therefore each of you, who does not start with this last day, cannot achieve that great Divine science which God has ordained and invested in the bowels of Nature, i.e. to those goods which are prepared for his chosen children who live on earth today. So far you have always been preached about heaven, and you are all preparing for heaven; you imagine heaven in various ways, you imagine the angels, the saints. But all these things are vague in your minds. Have you been to heaven? Have you been? - You have not been. When I say that you have not, I mean in the form of your present consciousness, not the past one. With this consciousness, you have not been in heaven. And when someone says that he has been in heaven, we understand not what he is now, but it is another consciousness, the super-consciousness, through which he can enter. Christ says, "On the last day I will raise him up." Now, there is an eternal dispute between modern religious and secular people. Some want to live permanently in heaven. Religious people say: "We are tired of life on earth - in heaven, in heaven!" Others say: "We are tired of hearing about heaven - on earth, on earth!" Here it is, this is the whole philosophy. The debate is whether to live in heaven or on earth. And in all the university lectures they prove subjectively and objectively, through the concepts, the feelings, the willpower, they all prove whether we should be in heaven or on earth. But we say, "You will be both in heaven and on earth." For the Scripture says, "When God created the heavens and the earth"; but because the heavens were arranged perfectly, the earth was to be developed. The Scripture says, "And the earth was without form." This implies that the earth had to go through a period of evolution, to cultivate itself. And cultivation is a natural process. I also say: the maiden, when getting ready for marriage, has to go through a certain evolution, the bride's clothes, then strings, then hats, then ribbons, then this, then that, and a whole evolution; then, about a dozen people will dress her, prepare her - a whole evolution must pass, and when they dress her up, there will be a whole escort after her - with parents-in-law, with bridesmaids, with bagpipes. What is a wedding? - It is a whole evolution. The bride was unorganized, not dressed in bridal clothes, and had to get dressed. This means: the earth was without form, it was an ordinary lady, so it took a long time before she adorned herself like a bride to get married. And when this wedding takes place, then everyone leaves with the bagpipes, with the whistles. This is pleasant in life. Now some, listening to me, say, "This language is not religious." I have long since given up speaking a religious language. And I am writing a new dictionary in which I say this: every reasonable person must learn to speak in the Divine way; every reasonable person must study the Divine grammar: verbs, adjectives, nouns, conjunctions, pronouns, prefixes, affixes, and how you say them - all these things must be learned. Do you know how great this thing is? Now I will teach you some math: "And on the last day," says Christ, "I will raise him up." How many permutations do you have to make from the word "resurrection", so that they make sense? If you, who are mathematicians, take this word, how many permutations can you make? I am taking four letters as an example: a, b, c, d. See how many permutations I make from a, b, c, d: abcd bacd cabd dabc abdc badc cadb dacb acbd bcad cbad dbac acdb bcda cbda dbca adbc bdac cdab dcab adcb bdca cdba dcba – 24. These are all permutations of these numbers. These are mathematical ratios of those elements that fall into this series. We made 24 permutations of the four letters: a, b, c, d. How many combinations can you form from the word "resurrection"? I would like to know that. Tell me next time. Women who know, when they have no other work, and those who do not know, let them call their husbands, and calculate a second time how many permutations there are. The basic law of the resurrection must be understood. Resurrection is a transitional state from subconscious life to conscious and superconscious life. Therefore, when a lower animal passes from a subconscious to a conscious life, the self-consciousness that arises is resurrection, revival. Therefore, in the present life, your self-consciousness is necessary to correct your past and present mistakes by replacing them with something reasonable. Your life is not what you expect. Realizing all your mistakes, all these shortcomings and shortages of this life, the sufferings that result from ignorance of these laws, then you will prepare for the resurrection. You will decide to finally come out like a frog from this swamp that has already dried up. As long as a person thinks that there is no change in his life, he lives in the process of the subconscious. The current white race will pass fully into full consciousness, not into awakening and falling asleep. It is a connection of the superconscious. It is a resurrection, it is the new life already. Therefore, Christ says, "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life." From the lower one comes the higher one. "All who have eaten and drunk, I will raise them up." Why? There are deep reasons, because Christ did not want to lose his capital and his word to remain fruitless. It is not the point now to dwell on whether we should eat the flesh of Christ or not. That is another matter. Christ says, "I will raise him up at the last day." You are now at the last day. If you decide to awaken this self-consciousness today, you can be resurrected. And the Scriptures say that when Christ was resurrected, many bodies were resurrected with him, and they appeared to many of their friends and convinced them that there was another life, more reasonable, more stable, and happier than the present one. The notions of modern religious and secular people about life are so distorted! This does not stem from an evil will, but from an optical illusion of the human mind. The higher mind is not yet developed in modern people. Theosophists call it the "higher manas." The lower mind, in which human egoism is located, has developed to the detriment of the higher one. And the aspirations of this lower mind are diametrically opposed to the higher manas. You often ask yourself and cannot explain why there is a struggle between flesh and spirit? This is not a struggle - many are deceived - this is a law, necessary for the development of the human soul. And it is determined by the following fact: if you take two enemies who hate each other and put them on a beam or board, under which there is an abyss, one is at one end, the other - at the other end, and both are facing the same danger - what should they do? They will stop any dispute. They should not come close. They have to keep their balance. If the flesh opposes the Spirit, there are reasons for that; and if the Spirit opposes the flesh, there are other reasons. Because if they upset the balance, they both lose. Modern people quote the verse, "We must destroy the flesh because it opposes the Spirit." No, you must not destroy the flesh or remove the Spirit, because the Spirit and the flesh are two elements in the Divine world necessary for the development of the human soul and the human mind. There is no internal antagonism or internal dispute here. The dispute is only about the conditions under which the Spirit and the flesh find themselves. Is that clear now? Things need to become very clear in your mind so that there is no dispute. Now let me explain another law. Ancient alchemists took earth, water, air, and fire as the four basic elements, and modern chemists considered carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen to be the basic elements. So these elements are basic, hydrogen - one of the lightest. Now these four elements play an important role in human life. Oxygen and nitrogen are mixed and thus form the air, they are not combined, but only mixed. While they are mixed, our development goes properly, but on the day they combine, a poison is formed. Someone says, "We are not sent to earth to form compounds, but only to be mixed." You say, "We will form a brotherhood through union." I say: You cannot unite to form a brotherhood, because if you combine, like oxygen and nitrogen, you will form a poison and you will poison all humanity; however, you can team up. Therefore, it is not allowed for the air to combine its oxygen with its nitrogen, because then the air will disappear. And what is the philosophy? Men and women now want to unite. No, they do not have to unite. Under current conditions, men and women are not allowed to unite. One is like oxygen and the other is like nitrogen in the air. If you unite, you will poison your life, you will poison your children. And I can give you an example: many mothers and fathers whose children die, the reason is that they are united, and as a result they poison their children's bodies. And people will say, "It is a deep matter, who will sow millet among these roots?" If you do not sow millet, your children will not live. You will sow millet and make boza (fermented malt drink popular in Southeast Europe) from it. Someone says, "I will not sow millet." You will sow millet! It is necessary, this millet should be sown. These roots are necessary for the development of our lives. You have to be mixed in order to understand your positions to each other. Because if the mother and the father fall in love, they forget their children. If a man and a woman kiss all day, if they constantly say to each other, "I love you so much, I am dying for you" - the children will die hungry. Now both men and women are complaining, "There is no love in the world." You want to unite. Whoever this woman unites with, she will form nitric acid, which will become poison to anyone. Therefore, under the current conditions on earth, the woman should not unite. Do you know this? I do not take this as an absolute law. If you did not have children, I would say that you unite. But for the good of your children I say to you: You shall not unite, because you will sacrifice their lives. Is this logical? Yes, I think logically, it is a philosophy that has an application in life. And you ask, "Why are these misfortunes?" - Because there are compounds, not mixtures. All explosions are all caused by compounds. And in modern European life the fact is proven that after each union, i.e. when some nations are united, the greatest wars have taken place. Russian Tsar Nicholas II, the peacemaker, took the initiative to convene the Hague Conference to form a union of nations. But after that union, what came into the world? The war came. Is that not a fact? You will say: "Well, it is a fact, but it is no proof." Let us suppose that it is 50% true; should we not take these 50% into account? Therefore, under the conditions in which we are living, a union is not allowed. There is only one law, which is as follows: we have the right to unite only with God, and with no one else in the world. With God - because He is a being, unchangeable in Himself. We can unite with Him, and the results will be good: and any other union, under any circumstances, will do more harm than good. Therefore, we need mixing, association, not union. Are the (musical) notes combined or mixed? Music is composed according to the law of mixing. And if people combine these notes, what will come out? - The biggest bomb that would blow up all musicians in the air. If a musician dared to make a compound, music would produce one of the biggest explosions the world has ever experienced. Thus says Christ, "I will raise him up at the last day." When? - When he learns to unite with God and to separate from the world. Let him be mixed with the world, but united with God. When he learns this great law - "I will raise him up", he will enter the Divine life, to understand the great law, why things are so and not otherwise. Now, in this causal world are all the consequences of a series of past existences, through which man has passed. These consequences are the reasons for determining your current life. They are gathered in the Divine world, we cannot avoid them. And for these reasons, the great beginning - God - will form a life that your past existences allow. Suppose you live in a society where morality has dropped to 0 degrees or 10 degrees below zero. You are a mother, you are married and you want to give birth to a beautiful daughter. I am asking: Do you want to have a very beautiful daughter? With such a morality, I say that your daughter has to be the ugliest in the world, if you want to save her honour. But if you live in a society where morality is 100 degrees above zero, then you can have the most beautiful daughter; she will be a blessing both to herself and to those around her. And under the former conditions, it will be a curse both for herself and for those around her: she will be an element that will unite and destroy everywhere. Because of her, at least 100 people will commit suicide, and eventually she will also commit suicide. And if you, when you get married, tell me: "I want to give birth to a beautiful daughter", if I am an astrologer, I will answer you what will be the fate of this daughter of yours. Someone will say, "How do you know that?" Hmm! Do you see these permutations abcd, dabc ...? - these are all quantities, these are rational numbers, this is not divination, this is no tittle-tattle. This is a rigorous science in which there is no exception. The exceptions are only for fools. There are 39,916,800 permutations formed by the word "resurrection." (TN: the word in Bulgarian has 11 letters). Do you understand what this is? This is science, brother! These are numbers, these are data, these are conditions under which the new organism - the resurrected life - can develop. Therefore, you will have all those 39 million opportunities. Now I did not calculate this, a friend here did it and I am quoting his data. There must therefore be mixing. You want to unite. No, there should be no unification among you. You will unite only with God, and there will be no unification among you! And whoever unites, we will expel them, out! Why? Because they are already dangerous. By "expulsion" I understand: We will put them in a bottle, we will plug it like acid - it is poison: every drop that falls, it burns. Human selfishness is dangerous because it is formed by this law of unification. There is no greater poison in the world than human selfishness. This is a terrible compound! And when someone says that we need to let go of human selfishness, I understand that we need to decompose it: nitrogen and oxygen separately, so that they function as mixed elements. So, when you have some misfortune in your home, I say: There is nitric acid in you. Then what is required? - You will decompose, there must be a mixture. Now some people strain and ask me, "How can we understand the great laws that govern the world, and how can we become masters of the situation?" - these magicians read books and write, some of them know something, and some test the others. Everyone wants something, but no one undertakes to work in the Divine way. Modern people are in the culture of ants. Mankind is now going through the culture of ants. This culture is more dangerous than the culture of snakes. That this is so, you will see that where there are ants, the snakes run away, because the ants with their acid drive away the snakes. That this is a fact is seen in life: where people have become selfish, extremely greedy, intelligence flees. Why? - This greed is able to ruin all these cells of nobility, and a greedy person you can bribe with a thousand leva. He does not think much, but says: "Give me 1000 leva". And the fact that he can be caught and sentenced to 5 years sitting in prison, and then have a loss of 20-30 thousand leva per year, he does not think about it. Is that smart? Is this a culture? Therefore, modern European nations are in this phase. And they cannot see any further that something more terrible is coming. That is not what they think about. Nitric acid is coming and it will destroy everything on its own. And when the destruction comes, then they will say, "What are the factors? - Economic conditions, the commodity market." No, no, friends: the factor is your selfishness - the basis of ant culture: according to the law of compounding, the nitrogen and oxygen in you have combined to form one of the strongest poisons. Then you will separate yourselves and be united with God, an eternal good will be formed, and you will live among yourselves as brothers. And when Christ comes on the last day, He will raise you up. What is resurrection? - Entering life in the new conditions in which new life can manifest. Do you think that the slave, who had worked for his master for 20 years and carried a knife plotting to kill his master in order to free himself, could not free himself in any other way? I say, there is another way in which you can free yourself without killing your master. - "Well, what is this power?" - This power is Love. Love as a living force emanates from the Supreme, from the Divine. When we talk about Love, we do not mean this love that comes from below, but the love that comes down from above. If you summon it, it will free you from slavery and give you the strength to know how to deal with all difficulties. Now, speaking of Love, I will again ask our brother to calculate how many permutations can be made from the word "love"? You will take the word with six letters, which it contains in the old spelling, as it should be. Love has to be studied as a living force that works, not as a pleasant feeling, not as a pleasant aspiration. No. When this Love starts coming, you will feel a small light in your consciousness, deep in your being, it will begin to develop, to grow bigger and bigger, its volume will increase, it will cover your brain, your heart, after which you will start walking in light. An expansion will appear in you, as if you were the masters of the whole world. And whatever difficulties you may have, they will be nothing to you. Thus, the word "love" in Bulgarian makes 720 permutations. These are not too few for the Bulgarians. If the Bulgarians understood the ways in which Love could manifest, if they worked for it to manifest all its elements, they would be the greatest nation. If only they understood the permutations of this Love! So, the first unification we have to make is with God, with Love. Our soul must be united with the Divine Love, and in such a union will appear the new life, which Christ calls resurrection. Have you tried to unite with God? But rest assured! Sometimes you clench and say, "This will not be." This thing will be, it will be, do not be discouraged, it will be. Do you understand? "It will not be." I say this: everything is possible in Love, through Love, just all its permutations have to be learned. I will now give you an example. It is one of my experiences. This example is true only in content and meaning. You should not take it literally. That was 15 years ago, when I was doing my scientific observations and research. I was in Plovdiv. After one of my talks, I was called by a Bulgarian who had two children - one with a natural disability and the other one a little girl 10 years old. I went to their house. I saw his wife - highly intelligent, strict, with a very complete character. The girl, a beautiful child, came with her mother who told her to kiss my hand, and she replied, "I do not want to kiss his hand." "Kiss it!" "I do not want to." I said, "Leave the girl alone." This girl went out quickly. The mother wondered that for the first time there was a counteraction in this child: "I do not want to kiss his hand." I said to the lady like this: "There is a valiant trait in your daughter's character, she wants to say: I do not kiss a hand by order, I have my special opinion." And I said, "Do not worry, your child is great, I like her very much." I went to the girl, I saw her playing, and she said, "Do you know why I did not kiss your hand?" I said, "I do not know." "Do you know how much I have suffered from this kissing? Neither mom knows, nor dad knows. An aunt came here a month ago, my mother made me kiss her hand, but then I vomited and vomited. Then, I have an uncle, and I kissed his hand, but I vomited again.” And she told me which other priest's hand she had kissed and vomited again. "Well, when I saw you, I did not want anymore, because if I kissed your hand, my stomach would hurt." I say, this girl has such a developed sense of smell that kissing causes pain. I told her, "You did very well not to kiss my hand." She told me, "Because if I kissed it and my stomach hurt, then I would think of you the same way as with other people." I said, "You did very well." You will say, "These things are exaggerated." Not really, your nose should have that sense. This child already understands the character of people. She says: "How terrible people smell and what should I do, I am also struggling at school" - this child is constantly struggling: "And I dare not say to my mother, they will consider me... such... a little... but I will tell you. So what do you think?” I said, “God has blessed you to discern people. "People are not clean." "They are not pure, they are not pure, I see something very bad in people, what should I do with them?" Well, I am asking now, if that sense was so strong in your nose, and those of you who like to kiss my hand like that, would then vomit, would you kiss it? Then I would be free, and you would be free. The thoughts, feelings, and desires in you are abating. You have lost the meaning of the words about the noble, about the sublime. I will give you another example. Some people think I condemn them. You will excuse me, this is not a reproach. I had a prominent student who was very interested in occultism and constantly insisted that I reveal some things. I said, "You are not ready." Nobility was required, not that I would not want to say it. One day I said, "I am going to make an experiment." She came, I took her to my room; as I entered, I locked the door, she looked around, then I opened the door and said, “I am sorry, you are not ready yet, that shows your doubt. I want to give you another lesson: your heart must be locked, it must be opened only to God, and it must not be opened to anyone else. I wanted to give you this lesson. But your heart is open, so no secret can be revealed to you." Someone says, "What do you think?" There must be one thought in your mind: either honor or dishonor; either justice or injustice; either truth or falsehood. You cannot play the role of an actor: both here and there. We are not allowed to do that. There must always be one certain thought in your mind: to know that there is always a great soul we call God who follows, watches, and does not excuse. By the phrase "does not excuse" I mean that it chronicles everything and notes it fairly. When a saint sins, it notes that the saint has sinned. It fairly records all your actions and mistakes chronologically, and builds your future life on them. You will say, "What is awaiting us?" Unite with Love and separate from the world. Unite with God and separate from the world, and you will be free. Do not get bound, do not give a word to anyone, do not unite with anyone. A maiden says to a young man: "I will be faithful to you" - she binds with the young man. And he does the same: he also promises. Tell me, how many people have kept that promise. I do not have a single disciple in Bulgaria who has passed their exam. There are now two people who have passed half of their exam, but 50% they have not passed yet. Two people only! I also understand the law under which God puts them. I do not put them there, God says, "Put them under this law, test them." You will say, "Is it not possible without an exam?" It is the exam that creates character and willpower. And when suffering comes to you, you should rejoice and light a hundred candles for your Saint Nicholas. But now, when a misfortune befalls you, you extinguish a hundred candles. Well, I am asking then, is there Love in the soul of the one who extinguishes? - No, the one who lights up, only he has Love in his soul. And then I set the following moral. You say, "I believe in you, I love you." Well, can I stay with your daughter for a day or two and she remains clean? Can a man who has a beloved wife let me wander around in their home and he is not tempted that I want to cheat his wife? And since I have been with her, her character has changed - it may change in descending or ascending order. When someone comes to your home, they must bring a blessing. But now they say, "Who are you?" That girl also said, "I do not want to kiss that hand." And then do you know what test I did with her? I said, "You did well not to kiss my hand, because many have kissed me until now, so bring me a laver," I took out some soap and said, "Pour some water for me now!" - I washed myself. So, I did an experiment with myself. I smelled my hands and said, "One more time!" I washed my hands ten times, and when I was sure that all these elements of the world were gone, I said, "Now you also wash your hands ten times!" She washed herself, then I said, "Now you are not going to kiss my hand, you are just going to grab my hands and smell them, how are you going to feel?" - "What if my stomach hurts?" - "If your stomach hurts, from now on you will not kiss anyone's hand. Try that, you will not kiss my hand, you will only take my hand, so that we are friends and I do not leave your home like this." And she smelled my hand and started laughing, then said, "No, there is nothing now." Yes, there was nothing, but we had to wash our hands ten times. Hands are a symbol of our willpower. Your willpower must be cleansed of all filthy actions. When you look at God, you will say, "I will wash myself ten times and then I will take your hand," because God also has hands. But we defend Him and say, "Ah, the Lord's hand smells." These are the modern philosophers. What is a "resurrection"? - These are 39 million permutations. And now, whoever wants to shake hands with me for a second time, will pour water for me ten times - I will wash, and you will wash. You will not kiss. And for the kisses, a lot more washing will be required! And I recommend - do not rush with kisses. When you kiss, you have to bring the new life of Love, but if you take away someone's happiness, do not kiss them, you will bring unhappiness. Now this is a philosophy. Thus says Christ, "If you eat My flesh and drink My blood, I will raise you up at the last day." And this last day, it is already here. This higher consciousness must be awakened in you, it has been awakened, but do not give place now to the doubt, which, like a psychic worm, will destroy the Divine in you. Believe in that Lord, Who lives in you, in this Supreme, Which has already awakened, in the Divine soul, this immortal part of man. If you do not believe in your soul, you do not believe in anyone. And if I meet you for a second time, you should have Love for the Divine Soul, the noble thing that will make you immortal. And then, when we meet, we will look at each other softly, and our gaze will not be divided. There is a concept called "bovarism". The Turks say of a gaze: "He looks at you, he sees me." His gaze is divided. Someone is sitting and telling you, "I am so happy to be in your house." He is happy, but he is looking at your daughter. No, no, this man has to wash his hands ten times. If I had to wash my hands ten times just for that little girl, this gentleman should wash too. This is what Christ says. This purity is necessary for our development, for the good of our mind, for the good of our heart, for the good of our soul - these things are necessary. You cannot take a single step if you do not comply with this law - then misfortunes upon misfortunes await you. This is not done mechanically. Do not think that this must happen at once. God will do everything for you. I gave one such example. A friend of mine asks me what the invisible world is. I say: You have been in a fortress for 20 years, then a friend comes and makes a hole, a ray of light comes in, what jumping there will be inside! He tells you, "There is something better than that." How can this be? He widens this hole, makes it bigger, you jump rejoicing. "There is something better than that," and that hole gets bigger and bigger, and you jump rejoicing in Love. "There is something even better than that!" It is the great shepherd who will lead you out into the Nature, to the green pastures and the clear streams. That is why Christ is coming now, to take you out of this prison of your selfishness, to take you to the great Nature, where you will play and jump by the springs. This is for you! This is the new life that is coming now. This is the resurrection! And it will be on earth again, but not in this substance. This substance will undergo a transformation. You will receive spiritual bodies, you will enter the astral world, in a substance less dense. There is also solid earth, water and air there; however, that solid earth is very different from our earth. You will say, "What is this thing?" I will quote the words of the Apostle Paul: "What the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard." Today there are thousands of eyes that have seen this, in England, and in Germany, and in America, there are thousands of people who have gone to heaven and come back, and they tell that from their experience. And one day, when you unite with God, you will go there. That day will come and you will say, what will you say? Yes, it will be! I would like that a bigger window opens for you now, that you are ready. Some of you will be resurrected today, some tomorrow, some in 10, 15, 20 days, some in a year, 2, 3 years, and some maybe in a thousand, two thousand, 10,000 years. And I say, to whom the time has come, not to be even one hundred millionth of a second late. You have to be like that chicken that has started hatching, and the shell has been worn away, and it says, "Chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp!", and the mother says, "Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck!" What does she say to it? "Use that little beak to get out and enter the new life in which you will be resurrected." And this little chick shows its forehead first, then the whole head, and finally the whole of it comes out. And the mother says, "Well done, here is my chick resurrected." You say, "When are we going to be resurrected?" I say, "Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck!" - "But what do you mean?" - "Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck!" That is a great philosophy! The Bulgarians say "cluck" and the British say "clock", which means a timepiece, movement. Movement, movement, forward, forward into Divine consciousness. "And at the last day I will raise him up." - That is, those who "drink My blood and eat My flesh", who understand the law to be united with God and to be separated from the world. And now I congratulate you on the new union and the new separation. A talk held on 27 November 1921 in Sofia. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Little love gives birth to small infirmities, while perfect love gives birth to perfection. Man is disguised on earth - he is not the pure man. It will be very funny to go to heaven and see that an angel has one eye, another has one foot; this can only be found on earth among humans. The one who hates you, the one who does you harm, you once did the same to him; that is why we need to love each other, in order to smooth out and make amends for what was done earlier. The first picture represents the crystal souls (the triangle). The second one - the luminous souls (the souls of the luminous spirits). The third one - the souls of pigs (the tangible ones). 15 September 1920. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Първоначален език - 30.8.1920-ИБ-315 / .: 30.8.1920-ИБ-315 Original Language There is no Love like God's Love. God's Love is not like human love. When a poet creates a famous work, he feels love, but this is love of the mind, not Divine love. A girl in love also feels love, but it is love of the heart. A soldier shows love on the battlefield, but his love is love of the willpower. A mother loves her children. That love is the love of the soul. A judge, when he judges and administers justice, also shows love, but it is love of the spirit. However, God's Love is a synthesis and harmony of everything, it is at the same time love of the mind, the heart, the willpower, the soul and the spirit, but the body must be an obedient servant of the Divine Love. When it dwells in man, it serves only as a manifestation of the good in the physical realm. One can manifest this love through any action - either with their hand by helping someone, or through language by saying a kind word to someone, etc. When the Divine Love dwells in you, in your heart, in your mind, in your willpower, in your soul and in your spirit, they will start vibrating in harmony with the heart, mind, soul and Spirit of God. This is the first explanation: when the Divine Love dwells in you, your heart will be in harmony with the hearts of all your brothers, your mind in harmony with the minds of all your neighbors; your willpower, your soul, your spirit will be in harmony with the mind, willpower, soul and spirit of everyone - this is the second explanation; and I am also giving you the third explanation: the hearts of all your brothers will be in harmony with your heart, with your mind, with your will, with your soul and with your spirit, you will all be in agreement with everyone, you will be one. Life is fully manifested in love. What people now call love is not love. What people now call life is not life. They aspire to earthly possessions and therefore their lives lose their meaning. Life is movement. Everything that moves hides in itself the beginning of life. The beginning of the movement is the first step of life. When this life begins to be realized, we have the second step. Then comes a sense of life, this is the third step. After the feeling comes joy. Joy is the fourth step. And the fifth step is using the joy for growth. Life manifests in four directions: mind, heart, willpower and soul, and their center is the Spirit. Living nature is the body of God. God is the greatest creator. All who write make more or less accurate translations of the great book of the Creator. And sometimes these translations are so detached from the original that there is no mention of it. And when we read any translations, we will try to compare them with the original and then we will draw a conclusion. But we must learn the living language of God and His living speech. And for that purpose we will have to start with the alphabet. Some will say, "We are going to start with the alphabet again?" Yes, again from there, because it is the beginning and you have all forgotten your original language. You are all good students and when you come next year, I want you all to know at least one word in this language, otherwise you will be sitting outside. You will not have access inside, because the Apostle Paul says, "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am nothing." You may learn many languages, old and new, that is good, but the living language of nature is most important. In the realm of truth, everything is precise and strictly defined. On earth, every statement also has a negation. If we say for example "I can" about something, it means that there is something else that you cannot. Conversely, if you say "I cannot" about something, you mean that you can do it in another way. In the Divine world, "I can" and "I cannot" have a completely different meaning. As long as you have love, "I cannot" means "I am not capable of doing evil." It is like a guard who watches and says, "You cannot go out of the door that I let you through." And when you say "I can," it means "I can sacrifice myself for my brothers and sisters." "I can" and "I cannot" are two great guardian angels at two gates. "I can" is in front and says to the trespassers: "I can unlock the gate for you to enter", but "I cannot" says - "You cannot go out through the door that you entered." Now I will tell you how good things can be developed. When you go somewhere to visit, they put a nice pie in front of you and you eat with pleasure, but to satisfy you, they start bringing you all sorts of things, so you eat and overeat, and you start thinking about your full stomach. So, you will leave everything else and will only focus on the nice pie, you will only think of God's Love. But do you know how to make a pie? First of all, old people cannot make a pie. A nimble young bride will make a nice pie. She will clean the kneading trough well, leaving nothing stale, she will sift clean flour, she will bring clean water from a spout, she will warm it (I do not eat a pie kneaded with cold water), then take fresh butter, fresh cheese, milk and will knead the pie. So you also have to learn how to make good pies and when I come over to your place, I will want you to treat me with a nice pie. You are 40 people, so I have provided 40 pies. Now you have to provide yourself with pies when you leave. When I talk about a pie, it is an image. You will unravel the symbols; as you translate, you will see what the kneading trough, the flour, the water, the butter, the cheese, the milk and the salt mean. Today is Monday, today is the day of the Moon. This shows that before you start making the pie, you will need to clean your kneading trough well. Everything that is old and worn out should be thrown away. Today you cannot knead a pie, you will just make a preparation. Tomorrow is Tuesday, the day of Mars, so you can knead. Mars means war, but not the way people fight today. The very kneading of the dough - it is war. This is how each of you will make your own nice pie. 30 August 1920, a.m. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод Сърцето си никому в заем не давайте - 12.9.1920-ИБ-318 / .: 12.9.1920-ИБ-318 Do Not Lend Your Heart to Anyone We are expecting Christ to come now, but He will not come until we move at least halfway to meet Him. Do not lend your heart, your mind, your ears, your eyes, your tongue to anyone. A maiden lends her heart to someone and then suffers. One piece of advice from me: do not lend your heart to anyone. Do not give your heart to anyone for rent. Christ says, "I have chosen you." Do not lend your heart, your tongue, your mind, your feet, your eyes, and so on. If you do the right thing, when Christ comes, He will say, "You have worked well, you have done well," and so on. Now I have nothing to prove to you, but I say: Whoever lives well will not be harmed. I was young and grew old, but I have not seen anyone righteous begging for bread. The psalmist says, "Whoever lives for God, will not encounter evil." Read the life of Job to see that this is true. In the current conditions of life, you will be brave and determined. It does not matter to me whether you apply that or not. I have applied it and seen the good results. You resemble those young people who put their pants on the roof and ask how to put them on. Look at bees, wasps, birds and other animals and you will see how they live. The Lord takes care of them. The law is such: to get up early, to have breakfast on time, to go to school or work on time. You have to wait for the sunrise, but it will not wait for you. And therefore Christ says, "I have chosen you." People say, "What will happen to me when I die, what will they dress me with?" You should all get dressed 10 minutes before the sun rises. Do not lose your minds. The sun rises once, it sets once, and whoever is late has already lost. And at the station, when the last bell rings, whoever has come will get on the train, but the one who is late will be left behind. We also must be ready now, because the last Divine train will come in 10 years at the latest, and whoever is ready to get on this train will get on board earlier, but whoever is not ready will be left behind. Thus, there is a mutual relationship between spiritual and physical life. All cultured nations that have energy, they are the ones who understand these qualities well. Now I recommend you to be brave and determined. Do not get discouraged. He gave the example of a friend who regretted not making some deals, but the Master said to him: Be grateful for not being in prison now. We sang "I Will Rejoice". 12 September 1920.

Готов превод Аз ви избрах - 12.9.1920-ИБ-316 / .: 12.9.1920-ИБ-316 I Chose You The Master read chapter 15 of the Gospel of John: "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser." I will make some small clarification on the words of verse 16: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." The words "I chose you" are understandable, you go to a store and choose. You take whichever fabric you like, or you choose the house that you like, etc. So God too, when choosing people, chooses whoever He likes. Now this selection is not like the fabric, Christ says when choosing, "May you bear fruit." In these words of Christ lies that great science of life. Everyone, old and young, wants to live. And the life we want to live is like the traveler who wants to travel and chooses a road or a path. Whoever has a conscious life is always happy, he is always joyful. So conscious life is rational life. For all the other beings that God has created, He has also assigned an environment in which to live. To fish - water, to birds - air, and to man - light. All worries come from anxieties in life. If the child is anxious, do you think it can grow up? It is the same law for you too. You only have to care about your inner life, but no matter what happens to the outside world, you do not have to worry. When one lives well, the Lord says, "Take from him what he has." A bad person, a vicious person and an evil person cannot be happy in life. I will ask: Is he good? If he is good, he is happy. Bad people live on the surface, I liken them to an apple whose skin is red and beautiful, but inside it is worm-eaten, and so on. Christ says, "I chose you" and who does He choose? Those who want to do the will of God. When the son does the will of his father, the father will also do the will of the son. So does the Lord. In order for someone to be chosen by the Lord, he must be ready to do the will of God. When you raise and nurture a child, never say, "What will happen to it?" The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22). Keep this thought in your mind, do not think that the spiritual world is something separate from the physical one. Whatever happens in the spiritual world will manifest in the physical world. Until you change your life in the spiritual world, you will not change in the physical world. When you visit someone, do you go with your head or with your back first? You should go to the Lord with your head first too. When we say that a person is good and someone is bad, we understand that the good man's fields and vineyards are tidy, while the bad man's ones are messy. So when someone says, "I have become bad," we understand that he has started to demolish. Christ says, "I have chosen you." (The example of the child who tore up the book that his father had bought.) We smart people, when we want to fix the world, we start ripping from the book of life until we tear it up. Christ says, "I have chosen you." A man said to himself that he had not corrected his life by being angry. I will tell you about the preparatory life. If you want to improve your life, you will first ask yourself whether Christ has chosen you? When a young man chooses a maiden, what distinguishes her for him to choose her? He sends matchmakers and gives her a ring. If the maiden puts it on her index finger, she says, "Either you will command me, or I will command you." If she wears it on her middle finger, she says, "Either you judge me, or I will judge you." And if she wears it on the third finger, she says, "Either you will teach me, or I will teach you." When Christ chooses someone, He will send him a ring. The first ring is hope. If you have hope in yourself, you will command. I would recommend putting it on the third finger. Watch this finger, on which your ring is placed, every day. Christ says, "That you should bear fruit." As we understand the teachings of Christ, life becomes real, i.e. there is a connection between your past and present life. All these sufferings have a profound meaning. Do you see the sculptor who wants to make a statue, how he strikes and cuts a stone, then cuts another one on the other side, until he makes it smooth; so does the Lord, when He wants to correct a person, He gives them suffering and then blesses them. So, your present life is the result of your past life, and your current spiritual life will determine your future life. When a person is weaned from this and that, he dies. Eating is the most beautiful music. As you chew with your 32 teeth, you play the best aria. My wish is for you to accept this verse. It is not you who choose the Lord, but He chooses you. Well, the girl, when she looks at the ring on her finger, it is not the ring that is important, but something great is hidden behind the ring. When we think like that, physical life becomes meaningful. All these things in the world are exercises, they are necessary. Houses and hospitals are being built. Buildings for hospitals are made very sturdy, but for a healthy person you do not need very sturdy houses. We, modern people, want to arrange our lives in such a way that we do not have any suffering. And whoever understands suffering, will have great joy from it. Therefore, the teaching of Christ is a great science of life. Internal changes are a manifestation of the spiritual life. When the Lord gives you hardships, endure them with heroism, and then you will be given a blessing. A person's hair turns grey not because of suffering, but out of fear. If you have asked your heavenly Father for something and He has not given it to you, I say that you have worked badly, because the Gospel says that when we work for God, whatever we ask for He will give it to us before we even ask. If you want to change your life, change your spiritual life first. In ancient times, people were burned for their faith in God. Which one is better - to die on the cross, surrounded by your friends, or to die in a pub with a cracked head? And if we want to die, let us die where we should. Where is it better to die? Should a mother die raising her children, or as a debauched woman in a desolate place? "There is no Love like God's Love. Only God's Love is Love.” When someone tells me that he said these words and they were of no use, I conclude that he has not moved. You take a pen, a hoe, etc. but you have not moved them. What benefits will you have? Thus in Christ's teaching you only have to move, work, not wait for someone else to work for you. So it is with the violin, the hands, the heart, the eye, the mind, and so on. 12 September 1920, 11 a.m. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Закон за правда - 24.10.1920-ИБ-331 / .: 24.10.1920-ИБ-331 Law of Justice I will read only two verses from the 9th chapter of Isaiah. "Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress, as in the past. He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined." (9:1-2) "The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. All the people will know- Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria- who say in pride and arrogance of heart:" (9:8-9) I will not talk about the law. Justice is a law of purification. Every skillful woman has a law for herself. And justice has this purpose. "I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only." (Psalm 71: 16). "Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake; for Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble." (Psalm 143: 11). Thus, the one who has entered the school must study the law of Righteousness and apply it. He must be faithful to the law that operates in it. The one who is righteous prospers. A righteous man cannot be blackmailed. Think of justice as a science. As long as man is unclean, he will be far from God. So, think of your exercises as one exercise. It is a necessity. And this science should not seem difficult to you, because without science there will be only ignorance. And do not be embarrassed by the mistakes you make. A person who is embarrassed and cries about the mistakes he makes, stops in life. So, Justice is the science of purification in life. 24 October 1920, 7:40 am. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод 400 000 форми - 3.10.1920-ИБ-325 / .: 3.10.1920-ИБ-325 400,000 Forms The first thing is to educate the mind. The mind has corrupted the heart. The mind has to be assigned some work permanently. Harness your mind to work, so that it frees you from trouble. A soul may be lifted by the wind and carried into space like a speck of dust. In order to save themselves from such swings, souls prefer to take shelter in the body of an animal. The soul of a child passes through 400,000 forms before coming into the womb of its mother. The weather is cold because we are sinners. You will pronounce the motto "There is no love like God's love. Only God's love is love" with reverence and learn to say it in such a way that when you are sick and pronounce it, you will be healed. Let the children be prickly but the tongue small, not the children small but the tongue prickly. When you take something to eat, blow it out with your mouth before eating it. The present life is a preparation for the future life. The present life is a rock, on which to make a building. And the scaffolding is kept until the building is finally completed. Why am I bad? Because the building is being built. So when will I be good? When the building is completed. Only when there is a result - it is Divine, if there is no result - it is human. The average number of years for an elderly man to be reborn is 50 years. 3 October 1920 Veliko Tarnovo Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Път, Истина и живот - 19.8.1920-СБ-303 / .: 19.8.1920-СБ-303 Way, Truth and Life Meditation. "Let us thank the Lord for all He has given us so far." Bless the Lord, O My Soul. (song) The Good Prayer. Blessed Be the Lord. (song) "The Lord's Prayer". Christ says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." Many have read this verse - you have also read it, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." But this Way, this Truth, and this Life are not yet understood. Things are misunderstood for us until we know how to place them and how to use them. If a student has a violin and keeps it locked in his chest, and when guests come to him, he opens the chest, takes it out, shows it to his friends, saying: "Look what a good violin my father bought me - it costs ten thousand leva." does he use it wisely? The guests leave, he puts it back in the chest and closes it. Other friends come over - he opens the chest again, shows the violin and hides it again. The friends leave - the violin stays locked in the chest. Well, after all this, has this student understood what a violin is, why it is, what is his relation to it and its relation to him? But suppose this student took violin lessons from a skilled teacher. What will he do when his friends come? He will not only know that his violin costs ten thousand leva, but he will also know how to play - he will start playing and everyone will listen to him. Thus, the Word is a manifestation of thought. When we start living sensibly, we will no longer say how much the violin costs, but we will show our friends how it sounds and what can be expressed through it. The manifestation of the Word begins with music. Christ says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." We know this Way, and we know that one cannot walk without a way. The way is the visible world, this is the material world, these are all the possibilities we live with. And in order for the Way to become smooth, the Truth is needed to give us direction; the Life is also needed to give us the inner strength to walk this path. We see today that the sky is clear - and what does Heaven above us mean? Heaven, this is the Face of God. Just as every resentment, every sorrow or despair, joy or love can be expressed in our face, in our eyes, and in the movement of our muscles, so everything is expressed in Heaven, because it is a thousand times more sensitive to all that God bears towards us. All blessings come from the Ethereal space, from Heaven, which is the Face of God. That is why we are looking up. And after all this, many ask where is God? He is above us. Many say, "Where is the Lord, prove His existence to us." Things are only proven to the blind, but to those who have eyes, they are not proven. If I catch an ant with my finger, it will not see me - it only sees my finger, but it does not understand how I feel about it as a person. In its consciousness, man does not exist as a being. The ant would say, "Prove where the man is!" It could go through my whole body and would finally say, "I do not know where the man is." Do we have to prove to this ant where the man is and if he exists? There are both bad and good conditions in life. You are not on the right path and you say, "May God save me from these bad conditions!" I say no, the conditions are bad just because you are on the wrong path. I would not want to be outside of these Divine conditions; I prefer them to the royal crown, to the royal path. Bad conditions - these are the two fingers of God, with which He catches us and says: "I sent you to Earth to develop and improve these conditions, to use them, but what are you doing?" God sent us to Earth in order to learn. We say, "Lord, thank You for sending us to Earth in order to work and learn." The Lord asks us, "Well, what have you learned so far?" "So far we have learned to dig up the land and cultivate it, to cut wood, to slaughter chickens, lambs. We are cultured people!” The Lord answers us: “I did not send you to Earth to slaughter chickens and lambs, to make sausages and the like, but to learn and be good.” What is this goodness all about? Someone makes a visit, but they do not slaughter a chicken for him, so he says, "These people begrudge slaughtering a chicken, so they have cooked beans. And that was my welcome! I will not set foot in this house another time!” But someone else makes a visit, they welcome him well and he says: “These people roasted a chicken for me, they offered me some nice wine. That is true welcoming!” Secular and religious people are now under one denominator. I am not saying that we are much better than the secular ones, but that we are not yet what God wants us to be. I am not blaming you, I am not saying that you are bad, I am just stating a fact and saying that your work is not yet done. I go to a worker who is digging in the vineyard, I see that he has not dug it yet. I go the next day - the same situation; I go on the third day - the same, the work is still unfinished. I draw his attention to this, but he gets angry, he tells me that I am insulting him. "I am not insulting you, but the vineyard has to be dug up in time." What is the vineyard? It is our body, our strengths and abilities that need to be processed just in time. However, this processing requires Love. In this world, people start working only when the weather warms up. But as the weather warms up, the wind also starts to blow. And so, one of the qualities of heat is that it produces movement and sometimes raises dust, wind, causes ventilation. Ventilation is a sign that Love has begun to work. When Love comes, it brings some ventilation, a manifestation of life, of work. When trouble comes to us, we start acting. The Bulgarians say that when we are treated to beans, it is bad, but when we are treated to chicken - it is good. But this is relatively good, as the absolute Good in the world is to be good to everyone. The way that Christ tells us about, is the material world. We are all in this material world and we must now use the conditions of life, we must study everything that is presented to us. We must learn to be gentle, courteous with the small plants and animals that serve us. If your child catches a chick and starts slaughtering it, if it rips off the wings and the legs of a fly, do not expect him to become a good person or a genius. But if it finds a chicken or a lamb with a broken leg on the road, brings it home and starts bandaging it, this child will become a good person in the future. The new morality is to do good to both the smallest and the largest beings. It is easy to be kind to a person who has lent you ten thousand leva, and when you meet him, to smile at him, to greet him kindly. But if you meet a beggar, you will say to him, "Come on, leave me alone, I have nothing to do with a man like you." Imagine, however, that this beggar is a Christian; you keep him from bothering you, you go to church, and then you ask your companion, "Did you understand the teachings of Christ?" But you, who ask and who drive the beggar out, have not yet understood them. One has to start with understanding the simple things in life - understanding and applying is the whole strength of life. That is why I want all of you to be polite in heart and soul, to have mutual respect and to strive for all this, because what you do to others, you also do to God. Each of you is a small part of God, a small organ of God's body, and when you do mischief to your brother, you do it to God's body. When your brother suffers, God gets blisters; sometimes the blisters that form on Him are so large that He descends to Earth to see what the matter is. Such are we, the beloved children of God - we make blisters on Him. When shall we stop making blisters on Him? When we begin to understand life correctly and when all the reasons for the obstacles are revealed to us. This year we will start with Love - let us perceive and send its power as a great wave around the world. If I tell you now that I love you and slaughter a chicken for you, is this Love? This is not love. Love manifests itself only when you are ready to sacrifice yourself for a person whom everyone rejects, persecutes and no one accepts. Do you know what the law of Love is? When you tell someone that he is your brother, you are already held accountable in Heaven for that and they tell you that you are obliged to sacrifice everything for him - your honor, your property, and your life. If you are not ready to sacrifice everything for him, you are not his brother. Christ says, "I do not come to such a brotherhood." You have not yet begun to apply the brotherhood of Christ. Some will say, "But I make sacrifices for him, for her." I do not blame you, but everyone should ask themselves, "Am I ready to sacrifice myself for my brother?" Do you know when you can be my brothers? As long as you carry knives and slaughter my younger brothers, chickens and lambs, you are not my brothers and I am no brother to you. You stop slaughtering them, but you ask yourselves, "But what will happen to them if we do not slaughter them?" Leave them alone, let these little brothers live. This is figurative. For example, a mistress has a maid who works ten hours a day, so she falls asleep when sitting down. The mistress is angry at why she is napping. I ask: what if she is made to work ten hours a day, will she not fall asleep? The maid falls asleep because ten hours of work is unbearable for her strength. You have to say goodbye to all your old views. These are unfavorable conditions for the Lord, and we cannot enter the future world with them, we cannot become citizens of the Kingdom of God. What does a Bulgarian do when a flea or lice gets into his body or head? He puts it on a comb or between his two fingernails and squishes her. The Bulgarian does very well - the lice should be placed between the nails of both thumbs. This means: "When you got on my head sucking my blood, have you asked me?" "No." "Well, then I am also not asking you." - "Squish." If we also do not do the Will of God, when we go to Heaven, they say about us: "We do not want lice!" Lice in the spiritual world means personal selfishness, which we must say goodbye to. There are jobs for lice as well, but we have to say goodbye to them. So, now the Lord has awakened in you - seek Him, He is inside you. The sublime thoughts, the noble motives that are now arising in you, this is the living Lord. Sometimes you do a bad deed, a bad thought comes to you; He says, "What you did is not good." Scholars will say, "This is the voice of our conscience that speaks to us." I say, this is the voice, the language of our Father, Who says, "Son, what you have done is not good." If we begin to understand that the Lord is speaking to us, we will be attentive to what is within us. This year, our Heavenly Father wants us to renew our thinking, and if we are ready, other powers will come from above to help us. We have the opportunity to do everything. Just as the wheat grain contains all the possibilities in itself, and the Sun provides the conditions for its growth, so when we are ready, the Lord will give us all the conditions for work. Until you decide for yourself whether you are ready to serve the Lord or not, the Lord will not give you anything. This is what your life will be like by this time: you will go to bed, get up, get dressed and undressed, eat and drink, live, trade, and finally they will say about you, "Come on, throw this one out!" you will be lowered into the grave and you will remain as you are. You will say, "When we go to the other world, then we will think about it." No, it is a different matter when you go to the other world. When you go there with this consciousness that you have, all the evils you have done here on Earth will stand out in front of you, you will see how many lambs and chickens you have eaten. Then you will understand that you have lived a meaningless life on Earth and that the beauty, the good that has been invested in you, has remained undeveloped. You will pray for a long time to come to Earth again, because it has all the conditions for work, because life starts from the Earth, everything comes out of it. If someone is good here on Earth, he is good up above; if he is bad here, he is also bad up there. Do not think that if you are bad here, you will be good up there - that is not true. In my opinion, a good person is one who, even in the worst conditions, strives to do the Will of God. Goodness is valued according to the efforts you make to be good. When the Lord sees that you are making an effort, He says, "This man is good." If you are a king and sign a death sentence on one or another without thinking, it shows that you are not good. Then the Lord says, "This child is wayward, he does not think right - he will not become a man." So, there are conditions for all of us to be good, smart, honest and fair. When we look up at night, we see the face of God dotted with many stars. I have often watched the father, when he comes home, takes a candy out of his pocket, holds it up in his hand and the child, when seeing it, looks up, watches the candy. I call these numerous stars in the sky candies. And the Lord says, "If you live well, you will have all the conditions you need to grow. If you are good children, I will send you upstairs and let you live in one of these beautiful stars." But you say, "Let Him give us one candy here on Earth and leave the stars for another time." Earth is just a workshop, you cannot own it. Property is the biggest delusion. The earth is a great school, and when you learn the art that you came for, you will depart, leaving the scissors and all the tools - you will not take anything with you. So, Christ says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." Christ and we are one and the same thing. How should we interpret this? If we can love all people, sacrifice for them, we understand the words of Christ, we understand our brothers and sisters. If we can feel the souls of our brothers when we meet them, and if we can help them, we understand Christ. Now we are gathered to be co-workers with this Father of ours, with this great Brother of ours. Christ is the first, our greatest Brother, Who was born, Who was the first to apply all the Divine rules, all the Divine Virtues. He is the first Brother, Who passed his exam successfully, Who sacrificed everything for His brothers. These mountains, rivers, everything we see in Nature is an expression, a manifestation of this great Brother. This is a grand thought that you have to work on for thousands of years to understand its inner, deep meaning. The relevance of this thought, that you will understand, is this: you meet an ugly girl and you say, "This girl is not beautiful, she is worth nothing." But ask the young man who loves this girl how he sees her. For him, the ugly face disappears and he sees her soul. And everyone says this man is crazy, that he is blinded by her. No, he is not crazy - he is a clairvoyant and sees in the girl what others do not see. The same is said of religious people - what do they see in God, where do they find Him? They go towards God like the young fool who loves the ugly girl, but they do not know that these religious people see what others do not see. Christ is now visible to some and invisible to others. I will not prove Christ to you - you will find Him in yourselves, you will find Him in Nature. And I will not tell you anything about God - God is the rising Sun; it is a symbol of God. The Lord for us is the Father, Who says, "These children of Mine suffer greatly." Suffering is necessary until we become wise; for us, however, suffering is unnecessary. The time has come for us not to create suffering for ourselves. If a brother comes to me and says, "I want to test your Love, to see if you love me," and makes an incision in my arm to test my Love, I am silent, I say nothing. Another brother comes and makes another incision on me to test if I have patience. Finally comes the third brother - he also makes an incision until my whole body is covered with cuts. After all this, they will say, "He passed his exam!" Yes, but there is nothing left of me. They ask me, "What are these cuts on your body from?" "To prove my love for you." If I shed the blood of some brother, what will I gain from that? The new teaching that is now coming into the world must heal every wound of the soul, heart, and body. Somewhere in Varna region, the son of a Bulgarian fell ill with some kind of ulcer, a wound that formed a thick crust and something like calluses, which caused pain to the boy. He kept healing his wound for ten years, but nothing helped. One day his younger brother brought home a falcon and began teaching him to hunt sparrows. For this purpose he brought a beef liver and began to teach him how to hunt. The older brother took the beef liver and served it to the falcon, teaching him to hunt sparrows. But instead of a liver, the falcon grabbed the young man's diseased hand, ate all the ulcers on it, thus healing the hand. And so the New Teaching will act like a falcon. There are misfortunes in the world, but the falcon will eat the ulcers and we will be healed. Ulcers are a sign of all the infirmities that exist in us. The diseases, the misfortunes that befall us, are the result of the wasted Divine juices, but when the Divine Spirit comes, He will renew and correct everything. But living faith must come! Today the sky is clear, which shows that we have all the good conditions for work. Let us start the New Life with the true Love and let all of us - both small and big - to compete in it! Mutually good feelings, noble feelings, these are the bearers of a great power. This year we can do an experiment to see what the power of collective thinking is. If we focus our thoughts on the good of one person, he will become good, everything will be fine for him. If someone is sick and we focus our thoughts on his healing, he will be healed; if someone is healthy and we focus our thoughts on him to get sick, he will really get sick. So, we can all do a lot collectively. If we fail, it is because what we conceive inside, we spoil with our heart. We must not allow any bad desires in our heart, and no bad thoughts in our minds. Therefore, the future culture will be the culture of the heart. Now I want you all to be cheerful, happy, to leave your old life and not think about the past. From now on, leave your old notebooks and decide to live for the Lord, decide to do His will on Earth, believing that God is manifested in all people, in all nations. What will happen next, I will tell you: God will put everything in perfect harmony and the day will come when all people will live fraternally with each other. From time immemorial, the Lord has said through the prophets, "I will give new hearts to people, I will settle in them and will live with them." The New Culture begins from the heart. I will give you some instructions for some smallest experiments. The school that you follow requires all of you to be cheerful, calm in heart and mind, so that you can work. During this annual meeting I will give you a little work - just one grain of wheat. And if you use it wisely, it will bring you God's blessing. I am confident in the success of what we do, because God is with us. Throughout this day, as on all other days, you will try to have harmony in your thoughts. Embrace life in all its manifestations, not one-sidedly. Try to be bright-minded and good-hearted, so that to break all the negative thoughts that come to you. We will experiment and make sure that God is great and that He will destroy all evil. Let no bad thought, no bad desire or action arise in you. When you have good thoughts, desires, and actions, I will show you what God's science is. It is a profound science, but you will make experiments that will convince you of that. You will try to heal the heart, as well as in all other areas. If some have come here to spy, to distort my thought, the Lord is a witness. Let no thought of sectarianism arise among you! This teaching is about brotherhood. If some people ask you what you study there, answer, "We study the science of brotherhood, what are the great laws that govern it." We cannot reveal all the secrets that it uses. There are reasons for this. We cannot open our stomachs to people to show them how it works. If we open our stomachs, then our life is over. If we open our skulls to show our brains to people, we will die. The brain cannot be revealed. This is what the Lord has done, and we will not spoil what He has done. Therefore, what the Lord has closed, we will keep closed, and what He has opened, we will leave open. Never keep your eyes closed! Someone will object: "But I am closing them." Nevertheless, they can still be opened. Your mind also has to be open. Now I welcome everyone to the school! Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Само хляб - 12.10.1920-ИБ-328 / .: 12.10.1920-ИБ-328 Only Bread A person will first go through the state of a nail, then will turn into water, and when he learns this lesson, he will pass into an airy state. He will be sent through the blacksmith's bellows, so he will learn this lesson as fire. He will continue to move from lower to higher state until he reaches liberation. These are symbols that, by revealing and translating them, you will explain them to yourselves. The nail is physical life. Water is the astral life, air is the mental life and fire - the spiritual life. If you work for your livelihood and for earthly goods, you are a nail. You will work in the field. The hoe, with which you will dig, is a nail. The human soul is never tainted. God has dressed her with so many veils. She will truly suffer when she is dresses in rags, like that king's daughter who was forced to walk in beggar's clothes. When she is brought into a state of begging, she will get rid of all those flatterers who have restrained and constrained her, and at the same time she will know those who love her. In poverty a man gets to know who his friends are, but in wealth you will find the enemies. If you want to know who your friends are, be poor and you will find at least one, but maybe two, three or more. The poor man is sent to guess who his friends, brothers and sisters are. Why do you have to be a student? - To find a teacher, to find your classmates. Why do you have to be a mother? - To find your sons and daughters. And you have to be a son to find your father and mother. Do not think that everything in the world is out of place. You will be both rich and poor; both a student and a teacher. There are different types of poverty. It is not the poor the one who is healthy and has all their limbs in place, but the crippled, the blind, the one without arms and legs. (Someone calls out: We do not know how happy we are.) If everyone constantly thought they were happy, you would soon be rejuvenated. (Someone calls out: What if sugar becomes expensive?) You will not drink tea, you will drink hot water. God has given man to eat only bread, and man has the right to demand only that, but everything else is at His discretion. Drink warm water! Cold water causes harshness and cruelty to man. It shows that a man lives a secular life. You should hang out young people with young people. If the young hangs out with the old, then the young one should take a cart and harness his horse, to give a ride to the old one. When a person understands the Divine ways, he begins to rejoice. If a philosopher meets a poor man, he will begin to explain to him the reasons for poverty under the laws of karma - you have been such and such in the past. I will tell him: You have to be poor to learn who your friends are. These are the main features, and the others are a shadow. Why should I be poor? To find your friends because you need them. To find the Lord, we must be poor. The rich man cannot find the Lord, he is like a loaded camel, which, when it comes to the needle's eye, has to be unloaded. The poor man in one respect is the one who has emptied his barns for the new wheat and washed the barrels for the new wine. Nowhere in Scripture is it said, "Blessed are the rich." The rich cannot be blessed, it is the law. And why cannot the rich be blessed? How can he be blessed when he is surrounded by enemies on all sides: his children and relatives, they all want his death to get to his estate. Can he be blissful in this situation? When a king walks around, he is surrounded by soldiers front and rear, he is a prisoner who proudly endures his voluntary imprisonment. There are two types of prisoners in the world: voluntary and forced ones. The king, walking around the city, fears for his life; his subjects throw roses along the way, but he is afraid they may throw bombs at him. Unlike the voluntary prisoner, the rich man would not want to be released from his prison; even when the door is opened for him to flee, he does not give up on it. In a way, the rich man is free in the physical world, but in the spiritual world he is limited. The poor man here is limited, but in the spiritual world he is free. It is not bad that we are rich or poor. The rich are smart and free. When the Kingdom of God comes, there will be no poor and rich, so if you have knowledge, you must use it for the good of your neighbor. Christianity does not preach poverty, but it preaches avoiding dishonest and improper enrichment. The rich man is such to acquire knowledge, while the poor man - to acquire virtues. 12 October 1920 Veliko Tarnovo Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Две лепти - 30.10.1920-НБ-333 / .: 30.10.1920-НБ-333 Two Small Coins We sang: "Bless the Lord, O my soul." The Lord's Prayer. I will read you a few verses from the 21st chapter of Luke: “And as Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them, for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had." Christ makes a small remark about what the rich people gave and that widow, who was the poorest one. In these words of Christ lies a great law. She gave everything she had. And the obstacles in life are due to the fact that we do not invest everything we have. Countries also make the same mistakes. A country that is at war is investing everything. When an author writes, he invests all his knowledge. The spiritual people also make the same mistake of not investing everything they have. Modern Christianity also makes the same mistake of not investing everything they have. Ananias and Sapphira concealed. The law is such that if a person goes to God, he must invest everything. When the grain of wheat is laid in the ground, does it not put everything in the ground? Many contradictions may arise. If a student delves into trade, he will be neither good as a student nor as a merchant. He cannot become a doctor or a diplomat, because then he will not be good as a doctor or a diplomat. Energy must be invested in one direction. The example of this poor widow shows her courage, she does not think about what will happen tomorrow. One must invest everything so that the Lord helps you. He does not want tears, He wants us to work. And I am saying to all of you that if you do not invest all your possessions and decide to serve God, then I do not want to deal with you anymore. If your child does not want to learn, then the father and mother cannot make him a scholar. Good and evil go together. The absolute can not be good and evil in itself. Good and evil are not inherited. Virtue is not capital by inheritance. When you distort your mood, you stumble. There are two types of giving: if I give 2000 leva to a poor woman, a widow, or to a robber, I ask - where is the good? In the money? In both of them? Or in man? Evil is in the choice of giving. Who were those who killed St. Stephen? They were the Christians of that time. The Jews could not give everything to Christ. (The example of the beekeeper who had several hives. The Master told him to put aside several swarms for the Lord, but he did not agree, that seemed to him too much, and after disobeying his advice, all his hives died during the same year.) Giving is the law. For every 150 beehives you will give one for the Lord. We must give what God has given us. We modern people say, "But we have to take care of ourselves." Well, if we take care of God, do we not also take care of ourselves? The difference between physical and spiritual life is that the physical world takes up very little space. As there is life in the physical world, so there is life in the spiritual world. Therefore, as you were in the physical world, so you will remain in the spiritual world. (The example of the lamb. The lamb was 100 meters higher than the location of the wolf and the lamb was swearing at the wolf. And the wolf, seeing that he could not touch the lamb, said to himself: "Its meat is not worth it" and calmly passed.) There is another law in the spiritual world that prevents evil. Move the rational world away from evil. In the spiritual world you have no opportunity to do evil - you can only do evil on earth. Evil is our man-made child. All the evils of the earth are the offspring of man, of whom the devil is the father and the world is the mother. So evil is the devil. As much as the devil is responsible for being a king, so is man. 25 percent falls to us. If evil is not being fed, evil cannot be done. At the same time, the human soul can do both good and evil. Everyone is a creator of their own destiny. Happiness or unhappiness in our lives depends on us. Why did this widow put all her wealth into the common treasury? This widow had a high consciousness, she surpassed many modern Christians. Now I do not want this thought to remain, so that you invest your property in this common treasury, because if you invest it, you will not give me anything. When you have and give, always think that you could have invested more than you invested. We should always think that we have not given what we could have given. And then we will be like those two saints, who, while traveling in the desert, one of them saw a large cauldron with gold, and when he saw it, he got scared and jumped aside. Then his companion went to see what had happened to him, but when he saw that what his companion feared was gold, he loaded it on a car, went to Alexandria, and started giving it away to the poor, the widows, and those in need; and so he gave away all of it. Then he went to see and ask the Lord if he had done the will of God, but the Lord replied, "Your goodness is not worth as much as the leap that your companion made when he saw the gold." Let us do good deeds with love, then it is real; if not done with love, it is worth nothing. Several years ago in the Varna region, robbers burned a rich man with firewood, until they forced him to say where the money was, then they stole it. And when his neighbors later learned about it, they began to condemn him for giving away his money; he replied, "Have you have a hot firewood on your neck?" Now they are threatening in churches, "If you do not give, you will go to hell." This is giving without love. One cannot accept God's blessing, cannot have God's blessing, if he does not invest everything like that widow. God does not need our money and houses. It is a shame for the church to have property, it is a shame for a mother to want her sons to provide for her. There can be no friendship unless everything is given; there can be no brotherhood unless everything is given, etc. Now you have the real situation, if you give one half - it is not enough. For 2,000 years Christ has been deceived. You pray that he gives to you, and if he gives it, you forget your promise. Now you will return to your initial position. Can you be in the position of this poor widow who had no money and therefore had knowledge and understanding. She represented a large gem. You can help your Bulgarian people, only when you invest all your possessions in the Lord's treasury. We have to make a clear distinction between human things and Divine things. The people is a divine institution, but the state is a human institution. The laws of the state are human and transitory, while the laws of God are eternal. The state is a beast and the people - a sheep. I want this thought to stick in your mind: to live with love for God. You cannot serve without any love of God, but not the love that you have now. The current love is immature. Now even the mother's love is distorted. You have to give everything and forget. The salutation in the Old Testament is collective. Christ never addresses collectively, He addresses each soul personally. He does not address the people, but addresses each individual separately. Christianity does not want any churches to be built, because every person is a church, a king, a father, a priest for himself, if he lives well. The "Support" association ate people's money. Christ seeks an individual soul, not a common one. Everyone who wants to correct other people, I call them incorrigible. Do not deceive yourselves into thinking that someone else can give you kindness, happiness and good. You can lift yourselves up. There is no person in Bulgaria who knows the Lord. We must know the Lord as He is. You have been Christians for 20-30 years, I would ask you: What is your Lord, have you seen Him? The Lord, He is distinguished by this - if you get anxious and the Lord speaks, you will calm down. The first word that the Lord began with was, "Of every tree you may freely eat, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat" What is this tree? It is human selfishness. If you live alone - it is ugly, but if you give everything and live with the Lord, there is the salvation. It will be terrible in the future. Past sins are coming, coming, coming. I am not judging you. Christ has not come for judgement. Put an end to your current life today and start the new life right now. When you take out the head and the spine of a man without his hands, he looks like a large snake. And do you know what terrible snake a man is? When the time comes for a maiden to marry and if her mother has collected all her hats, dolls, ribbons, I ask, should her mother give her these toys? No, she has to take only her newest suit and leave everything else for her younger siblings. This refers to those girls and boys who have already grown up, who are 20-21 years old. Christ's teaching is for children, not for old people. The present Lord, Whom I know, says, "Anyone who gives away everything is pleasing to me, but whoever gives only half is not pleasing to God." The English say, "When the Lord turns me over, He also turns my purse over." No organization will improve the situation of modern humanity. For me there is no suffering, for me there are no difficulties, for me there are no contradictions. I want you, like me, to find this same Lord, otherwise Alexander Stamboliyski (prime minister of Bulgaria from 1919 until 1923) will take your money and put you in prison. Christ, who is coming into the world, will sweep away everything - church, state, and everything. We do not need crosses anymore, we will put them inside. Someone says, "Blessed be the Lord our God." But are you blesses? You, my friend, have you entered the midst of the fire like St. Panteleimon? I would like all bishops in the future to wear crowns entwined with virtues. A great preacher in America always added the word "but" when preaching, he was saying "but" for everything. When the sermon was over, the listeners came to him and thanked him for the good sermon, telling him that his sermon was excellent, "but". And when some people come to me, I say "but." Once the Lord speaks to you, you will become different people. The child who is born of a noble mother, it stands out. The student who is brought up by a good teacher, he also stands out. Let everyone try everything in the world, and then help them. We can only have a future when we invest everything we have in God. If we remain as we have been, we will have such great suffering, such catastrophes, that you will be amazed. The whole of Europe will be subjected to such unbearable suffering that will continue until people realize their mistakes and turn to the Lord. I was not going to speak to you today, but I am talking to you now because the Lord is talking to me, and if you do not do as the Lord tells you, such great misfortunes will befall you, that if one day I meet you and see that you are unhappy, I will know that these misfortunes have befallen you only because you had not listened to what the Lord had told you. Apply what I am telling you. Be heroes now. The rich and the poor have only believed so far. From now on, try to look like this widow and you will say, "Happy be that day." If you can, be free to fulfill that voluntarily. If you are not 21 years old, the time to fulfill it has not come yet. We sang "Love is a Spring". 30 October 1920, 11 am. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод Добри ученици - 19.9.1920-ИБ-322 / .: 19.9.1920-ИБ-322 Good Disciples Now you have been told a lot, all you have to do is practice. The great law of nature consists in the fact that the farmer puts in his barn only what he will sow. There is enough in your barns, all you have to do is sow. I see in your actions that you are being hypocritical. You have to know that you are not serving me, but God. I cannot study for you. I can only teach you, but you have to study yourselves to acquire the knowledge that you need. Each disciple has a bag in which to carry their books, but these books should not just stay in the bag, they should be taken out of the bag. When I find someone not studying, after helping him 99 times, I finally leave him on the hundredth time and I say "goodbye". When you study, you will go to God, and when you do not study, you will stay here on earth. Nothing unclean will go to God. Sinful people do not study. They just lie, steal and get called moneybags. It is the sinful man who works little, studies little, and wants to live opulently. We must renounce the devil. I want you, by putting everything aside, to have love for God. A student who does not love his father and mother, does not learn. And those people who do not love God, they do not learn. If someone does not love you, he will hinder you, be it a friend or a woman, a man, etc. Someone may say, "This or that person does not love me." I say, "Because you did not love God." If you want, I can make an experiment with one of you to be squeezed by God with both fingers. Does anyone want? Here, I can do this experiment right now. Where there is no love, there is no success and no blessing. Once people love each other, no one can harm them. Love protects both good and bad people. And sin, evil destroys both the good and the bad person. Love gives a wide space to all people, but it says: "You will learn!" Now I am also saying to you: You will learn. Loving is easy, but learning is a very difficult thing, and it is necessary. When I tell someone to study, I take out his bridle, I whip him and send him to the forest to study. However, there is no teaching in agricultural work. What you will learn in the fields: there is an oxbow, a goad and a tongue sticking out there. Well, try to be good students in the future and then the White Brotherhood itself will help you. This thing does not happen for pleasure. Everyone has to make an effort. Love, knowledge and wisdom go together. When knowledge is without love, it makes a person haughty, but when knowledge is with love, then comes humility. No one can live alone, everyone has to live with someone, be it a woman or a friend. The woman and the man pass for assistants - companions, Around 45 million people die each year worldwide, with an estimated 1 billion to 1/2 billion people living on earth and 60 billion people in all of humanity. 19 September 1920 Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод Аз дойдох, за да имат живот - 17.9.1920-ИБ-321 / .: 17.9.1920-ИБ-321 I Have Come that They May Have Life I will read to you only one verse from the Gospel of John, namely chapter 10, verse 10. "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly." In this verse, Christ speaks of two principles. This thief does not come from outside. He comes from within and is connected to our mind, our heart, our feelings. He has accesses there. Christ says that He is coming to tell you something, to give you a blessing. The thief does not come except to steal, kill and destroy. He steals, kills and destroys - he applies his principle. In this principle is the negative element. Above this principle there is another one - Christ's: "I have come that you may have eternal life, and that you may have it abundantly." The words that Christ said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly." have meaning and represent one great principle. They express a strictly defined law. You can study modern technology and you will notice how the smallest mistakes produce great results. These two great laws that work here also work in heaven, and Christ Himself works on them. Some people ask themselves, "But how can this little mistake have such consequences?" If you make a mistake, you have let this thief in, and if he comes in, "he will steal, kill and destroy." For example, you start secular job and allow a lie. Eventually, this lie will ruin all your work, it is like a worm nested in a red apple. The worm will eat it, that is inevitable, and the apple will have no price. You are now disciples and you are not allowed to make any mistakes. If you make a mistake, it is the thief, do not allow him to enter. If you allow that, he will destroy everything, do not allow that in any way. This thief is always ready to enter you. You have a thought to do something good, but then you say, "This job can wait, it is not urgent." If you allow this second thought, the thief has already entered and will steal from you this thought that Christ gave you. You will no longer have good conditions and you will be left without any sheep. If a wolf comes, he will steal your sheep and you will be left without milk, sheep, cheese, butter and wool in the summer. You are all afraid of the devil, but you must fear only God. If you are afraid of the devil, it means that he has set foot on you. You are afraid of each other. Instead of being afraid of a person, honor them. Students who are afraid of their teacher, they study. Any student who has not learned their lesson is afraid. Fear forces us to be diligent students. Here, in Tarnovo, fear hinders. Fear is distinguished by some features. If you see someone being cruel, they are cowardly. Good people are fearless. If you want to get rid of cruelty, get rid of fear. Whom you fear, such you will become. If you love a bad person, you will become bad, if you love a good person, you will become good. Love and fear towards bad people give the same results, because when you love someone, you strive for them. You cannot help this way, he is a big merchant, do not give him money because he has a lot of debt. Do not give money or cash to a bankrupt person, do not save him, he has been compromised for a long time. The thought that the Spirit leaves you: "This thief thinks evil of you." In all your actions, do not let him in. If you let him in, that will be bad for your children and friends. It is an internal principle. You cannot catch him. The angels themselves deal with this principle, but people can only be saved by Christ and God. When you have the chance for a good deed, do it, do not think about the consequences. The Lord has blessed such a deed in advance, it will give results. The good you have done, no one can destroy. When the devil is outside, he cannot hear you. Do not confuse the two concepts. When temptations come to you, do not think that the devil has entered you. When this thief enters, you feel divided, you become restless, you cannot think well and feel good. You have to fight until you become quiet and calm, but I do not mean indifferent. When you reach this state, you can be good disciples. Life without studying is meaningless. If you do not study on earth, you will gain nothing. You have houses and fields on earth, this is a bag that anyone can take from you, but the acquired knowledge remains yours. When you are rich, you will learn to be generous and know how to help, and when you are poor, you will learn when and how to be patient. Beware of this thief and drive him out. They give you a foot out of ignorance, you bring me devil's foot and ask me: "Is the devil here?" I answer: Yes, he is. I want there to be an agreement among you and all your affairs will go well. "Poor" means to be poor in evil, in lies, in stupidity, but let us be rich in knowledge. The disciple who has embarked on the path of occultism should neither envy and flatter the rich, nor pity the poor, because they are both happy, they are both rich. If they live in love, they both have equally, because the poor will visit the rich to eat. If you are two brothers - one rich and the other poor - the rich one will at least feed you, the learned brother will teach the one who does not know. Your mistakes are something else, they remain at your expense and are not harmful, but if you allow this thief, that is most dangerous. For example, the Lord tells you to love someone, then the thief comes and tells you bad things about him. If you allow this bad thought, you let the thief in. At the same time, the thief has also tried with the other person, who speaks ill of you. If you allow this negative principle to work in you, your face will soon darken, it will deform. 17 September 1920 Veliko Tarnovo Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

Готов превод Без съмнение и без отсрочка - 10.10.1920-ИБ-326 / .: 10.10.1920-ИБ-326 Without a Doubt and Without Delay After a 14-minute break, the Master read verse 10 from the 5th chapter of the Gospel of John: “The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” Notice that the contradictions in life begin with the Divine good. When a person recovers, he begins to take up his bed and go to his place. Now I will interpret who this sick person is. Someone has got into debt and everyone wants a claim their receivable, but he has nothing to give them. Imagine that the man gets rich and decides to pay off his debtors. Then come people who advise him not to pay anyone, and then the contradictions in life appear. All the hardships in life stem from the fact that we have not paid our debts off. But the law is such that the bed on which we lay, must be taken up. Do not lie down at all where the sinner has lain, do not follow in the footsteps of the sinner. And now, do you know what these destructions of cities and villages are for? That is why these sufferings are coming to the people. Do not put on the clothes of the sinner, it is better to walk naked and barefoot than to put on the clothes of the sinner. When the time comes to do the will of God, do it without any delay, without listening to the voice of the tempter. When you do the will of God, then you are strong. Time does not make people smarter. When a person becomes cowardly, stingy, he has become more stupid, not smarter. If you want to become smarter, stronger, and then do the will of God, you are in the wrong direction and on sandy soil. I call "young" every person who does the will of God, and "old" the one who hesitates to do God's will. I prefer people who do the will of God and make mistakes, than those who do not make mistakes and fail to do God's will. When the Lord sends you to speak to people, do not hesitate, but go and do what the Lord tells you. And now you will take up your beds. Whoever has taken up his bed is young, and whoever has not taken it up is old. Always finish the Lord's work first, and then yours, and then everything will go well for you. (He gave the example of that man who said, "Whether the Lord has said it or not, I am going to the vineyard," where the policeman caught him and beat him up. Then he returned home in the middle of the night and said to his wife, knocking on the door, "Woman, if the Lord has said, come and open the door for me") Notice that the contradictions in life begin with God's good. When this man was healed, the Jews told him, "You are not allowed to take up your bed, because today is the Sabbath." I will now explain to you what this bed is. For example, someone owes 40-50 thousand leva, he has nowhere to get them from and does not intend to pay them off; all creditors leave him. One day it dawns on him that he has to pay off his debts, i.e. to fulfill the law of God. And exactly when a person decides to fulfill God's law, the contradiction will appear. The Jews went to the man to whom Christ had said, "Rise, take up your bed and go home," and they said to him, "You are not allowed to take up your bed." I am saying to everyone today: Take up your bed, because whoever does not take up his bed will not be healed - his disease will remain. Bulgarians have a custom of handing out clothes of sick people after their recovery. All the difficulties in life come from taking up beds. This is what Eastern peoples call karma. The law is that anyone who is healed has not changed his bed, his disease remains, and whoever lies on this bed, will get ill; that is why many people who sleep in hotels get ill. Therefore, do not lie down where the sinner has lain. Suffering comes because houses, beds, and every step bear the traces of man, the righteous or the sinner. You may walk naked, sleep in the streets, but do not put on or use the clothes and objects of a sinner, and do not lie on the bed on which he has lain. When God has spoken, fulfill His word immediately, without any delay, doubt, or philosophizing. When a person decides to do the will of God and take up his bed, then the tempter comes and says: "It is not the right time, you are weak, you are young", etc. You do not listen to him, but namely with this willpower, with this faith, with these thoughts, with these feelings and knowledge that you have now, fulfill the will of God immediately and without doubt, and know that now is the time. When you decide to do the will of God and you fulfill this desire without delay and without hesitation, you are always strong, smart, but if you hesitate or postpone the fulfillment of the will of God, you are weak and stupid every such moment. Know that it is not time that strengthens and enlightens people, it is not old age that makes people smart and strong, that intelligence depends on the moment you decide to do the will of God without doubt and without delay, and that it is not time which will make you smarter. When you become stingy, hesitant, you are not smarter. The life of a Christian consists in this: the moment he decides to do the will of God, he is a strong and smart man, but the moment he hesitates, he is weak and stupid. Therefore, when God tells you to do something, it is time, do not philosophize, do not delay and do not doubt. Do not think that old people are smart. I call "young" the one who does the will of God without any doubt, without delay and without philosophizing, and I call "old" the one who doubts, postpones and philosophizes. The young man always knows that he is strong in doing the will of God, while the old man knows that he has knowledge but he has not done the will of God exactly and on time, and that he is weak. I prefer the one who makes thousands of mistakes in doing the will of God, over the one who does not make any mistakes, but also does not do the will of God. I prefer a sinner who does the will of God to a righteous person who doubts and hesitates to do the will of God - therefore whenever the Lord tells you, always speak, act without delay, without doubt, without philosophizing, and know that the Lord always sends you to speak to stupid, inexperienced, grumpy and weak people; that those who you are told to speak to at that very moment are such, so do not philosophize, do not procrastinate and do not doubt, because this moment will not be repeated according to the same law and meaning of this verse. I am also telling you today, take up your beds and go home, as Christ is coming today precisely to check who has taken their bed and is going home, who is young and who readily does the will of God, without regard, without doubt and philosophizing. Keep this thought in yourselves: When you do the will of God, you are young, strong, you are rich and everything will always work well for you everywhere, and vice versa - when you do not do the will of God, you will always be old, weak and poor, and you will come across shadows in everything. Therefore, if the Lord tells you immediately, that is, without fear, without hesitation, without doubt, without philosophizing and without delay, finish primarily His work and then your own. Then start doing your work and know that you will then succeed in everything you do and undertake, but if you prefer or undertake to finish your work first for whatever reason, due to lack of time and so on, or you postpone it due to doubts and so on, you will look like that Bulgarian Lazarus, who, going to the vineyard one morning, said to his wife: "Woman, I am going to the vineyard to work." His wife told him: "You should say, if the Lord has said that, I will go to the vineyard," but he angrily replied," Whether He has said that or not, I am going to the vineyard," and then he left. But on the way he was met by Turkish policemen who drove him around all day, so he could not go to the vineyard until the evening. He hardly managed to return home, tired and weary. Then he himself admitted that his wife's words were true, that we could do nothing without God. This is the great thought in life. If you receive the Divine thought to do God's will, that is, to speak or do something for the Lord, first of all do it without delay, without regard, without philosophizing and without hesitation and doubt, and then you will succeed in everything you undertake, and only then will you be young, wise and rich. 10 October 1920, 7:30 am.

Готов превод За възпитанието на децата - 26.9.1920-ИБ-323 / .: 26.9.1920-ИБ-323 Regarding the Upbringing of Children (The alleged narrator is brother Boyan Boev) Now, while we rest, I will tell you something about the upbringing of children. Abstract thoughts should not be used in the upbringing of children. As a first method, it is recommended to give them a slice of watermelon, asking them to read (count) its seeds. They may be given pears, apples, for studying their shape, color, taste. Do you know how many seeds the different types of pears and apples have, how many seeds are in the sweeter watermelons and how many in the bland ones? In the upbringing of young children, flowers can be studied, how many petal leaves and stamens they have. A child will be given a color to examine in detail, a detailed description will be given to them, and then make them draw it. This will gradually bring their mind to recognize the sweet pears from the bitter ones, and they will know why they are sweet and why bitter. Educate children never to catch birds, not to spoil their nests, not to break their eggs, not to catch flies, not to tear off their wings, legs, by telling them that it hurts them too; do not tell them that it is a sin. The child will understand suffering, but it has not developed the concept of sin. It has no experience of sin. Only old people have the concept of sin. Tell them that flowers enjoy water. For example, take a flower pot, keep it without watering for 2-3 days, and then make the child water the flower and watch how the flower gradually cheers up after 1-2 hours. These methods affect children gradually but surely. Mothers and teachers should teach children to eat in moderation and show them the bad effects of gluttony. If they eat fruit and have a stomach ache, explain to them why it hurts, tell them that flies spit on these fruits and leave poisonous feces on them, so they learn in this way that fruits should be washed, namely with hot water. Children love fruit, but you will teach them not to rush, but to wash them first, then eat them. Let them study all the fruits. They have various influences from the juices they contain. Relate each fruit to a fairy tale. In summer, get the children to sunbathe 30-40 times, to wash with water heated in the sun at least 30-40 times. This is for the whole summer. Young children are allowed to eat every 2 hours, and primary school students up to 4 times a day. If they eat more, they will develop bad habits and bad manners. Children have a sense of justice and trust their teachers and their mother. Teachers need to be very honest with them. If they start doubting their teacher, he has already failed them. In occultism, there is a method of correcting a child who is disobedient. Do the following experiment: if you run your right hand over the right side of their head, they will feel some pleasure; stroke their left side and they will feel some annoyance. Occultism has another method of education through the use of light. In the future, rooms will be built, in which the light will fall in such a way that it will affect the child's eyes harmoniously. For example, if a mother wants to raise her child well, her face should always be in a good disposition. This disposition of her face affects the child's face. When the mother speaks, the child looks her straight in the face. The mother with her face can produce a positive or negative result. If she is hesitant about what she wants to impose, she cannot influence it. She should first calm down, wait an hour, a day, two days. Do not think that if you hurry, you will succeed. If you let nature work on children, you will have better results. The clothes children wear have a great influence on them. Let them choose the color of their clothes themselves. The mother is obliged to consider the child's taste, otherwise she will distort its taste. In the new teaching, girls should have boys as companions and vice versa. If you start suggesting them from early age that there is a difference between them, and start separating them, you will create in them unwanted traits that adults have. Take the children out in the spring, when the trees are in bloom, to watch the fruits set, grow and ripen. Let them get acquainted with these things early. Make a story to explain why cherries are red; make the children look at the fruits, then give them two or three apples to describe one of them, let them describe as they see it, in a childish way, so that they put in at least one thought. It is good to acquaint them with the springs, rivers, streams, to tell them about the benefits they bring. You can develop these methods through observation and experiments. Then tell them not to break and tear off the twigs, not to pick the flowers. Point out that this causes them pain and suffering. 26 September 1920, 12:40. Veliko Tarnovo Внимание!

Готов превод С любов и вяра - 26.9.1920-ИБ-324 / .: 26.9.1920-ИБ-324 With Love and Faith We sang "Bless the Lord, O my soul" The Good Prayer "Blessed be the Lord God" (song) The Master read chapter 14 of the Gospel of John, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me..." I will speak to you on verse 12 of chapter 14 - ““Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” These words of Christ have both narrow and broad sense. Now, as you study the life of Christ, what deeds was He doing? First, he was enlightening the people, healing the sick, and feeding the hungry. Some modern Christians think that as human beings they cannot do what Christ did. If we have both a large and a small candle, even a small child will be able to take it out and point the way to the lost passenger. The largest candles are no heavier than one kilogram, so a small child can carry them. Words that may help people, can be spoken by a small child. Suppose you are far away in the woods on a dark and stormy night, and you believe that your family is in your home, warm and fed. What good will it do you, unless you warm up and feed yourself? When you believe and stop, it is the faith of darkness. When you believe and move, then that faith is light. In common faith, everyone says they have it because you believe that the father has this or that, but it does not help you. The faith of darkness does not move, it does not go forward, while the faith of light is movement, it is life-giving and it brings results. A worker was digging a vineyard and took some of the dug up weed in his pocket, and when he was called to dig in another vineyard, he took that weed out of his pocket and asked if there was any of that weed in it. And if there was, he did not go to work. And Christ says, "The faith of light does not ask whether there is any weed or not, but it will always go forward." Today's Christians are also like the secular people who, when they get married, ask if he is rich, if he has any merchandise - and then they get married, but do not ask if he is smart and honest and so on. Modern Christians, when they suffer, they get fed up with suffering and then accept everything with distrust. A shepherd in Kotel (town), when talking to people who asked him where the Lord was, took out his revolver, started looking for Him, firing and saying, "Where is your Lord, I will kill Him," but the next day his sheep started dying and so all of them died. After 11 years, he met the same people and they asked him, "Well, did you hit, did you kill the Lord?" A person can have anything, but if his stomach is upset, he will only look at these things without being able to taste them. The faith that the Lord speaks of, is the faith of light. Envy is the very first darkness. According to me, rich people are not happy people. Yes. Being rich in these times is the most unfortunate thing. What kind of people do robbers kill and plunder? They used to say in the past, "Blessed are the rich"; I am saying: Blessed are the poor, for there is nothing to be taken from them. Christ says, "If you have faith, whatever you desire, you will receive." A bird builds a nest every year and when it collapses, it makes it again; while a man builds a house with 4-5 rooms, but he will also need servants to clean it. A man needs a small house that can be made in 4-5 days, if 4 poles are erected and it gets entwined and covered. I prefer a small house, but its light to be inside and the darkness outside. I prefer to eat dry bread and be much happier than anyone else. Christ says, "This faith which I bring, is our daily bread; give it to us today." There is no word of butter, cheese, rice, sugar, etc. True faith does not tolerate all these things. This is the new teaching, but the old teaching only wants to cut off the heads of both animals and humans. When 25 thousand people were slaughtered in this war, what was gained? This fulfilled the Bulgarian song: "Grow up, maiden, grow up, so when you grow up, I will gird you with a sabre", etc. So far, no one has worn crosses for the sake of Christ's faith, but they are worn for slaughter. Christ says you will do greater things for good. And indeed, there are much better conditions in our time with this literature, for great results to be produced. Today, a gardener can plant a few fruit trees and thus bring benefit. What do today's people need? They need faith and love. In order to have love, God must live in us, and in order to have faith, the angels, who are distinguished by courage and to whom the word "I cannot" does not exist, must live in us. People need to gather with the angels, who will show them the way. In order to gain faith, one must connect with the angels, and they will give him the strength to understand the true faith. The poor understand brotherhood and equality well, because they have nothing, but the rich do not understand it, because they will have to give. And now, in modern Christianity, we have many such Christians. This is not true Christianity. There are many great people who always complain that this or that is not there and so on, but a person should always be satisfied with what God has given them. There was a sister here to whom I was giving advice, and I recommended her to have patience and faith in order to be cured, but she did not listen to me and is now experiencing the consequences of her thick-headedness, because she asked to be treated by doctors, and now, when her suffering came, she began to repent. Now, when you listen to me, what do you say to yourself: "This man, if we listen to him a lot, we will go on a fool's errand!" You are going on a fool's errand even now, and you will be doing that again 10 years from now. When you die and they put you on a stretcher, when the priests come, will you not be going on a fool's errand? The words of Christ are: "If you do not believe in Me, that is in life, you do not believe in God too. " In this age, faith in the living Lord is required, so that to connect with the angels through faith and with God through love, otherwise we are lost. Why do people mourn at the grave of the deceased? When they mourn someone, the dead man, who has possessed his wife, cries himself, and she begins to say: “You fool, you fool, it is my turn coming!” The living do not cry, but the dead cry. And whoever dies with faith, that is in Christ, he does not weep and will not be carried on a stretcher, but we will only say goodbye to each other. In the olden times, Moses was not put on a stretcher, but he left a man in his place, retired to Mount Nebo, and died there. It is still unknown where Moses' body is. The rich man hires servants to look after his child because he has no faith, but the poor people let their children go free and they go where they like, then come back. The new teaching requires a pure and sincere faith in God. If we have faith, we will be calm and strong, and no one will take our wealth. We must never procrastinate and say, "Let us settle our affairs today, so that we will live according to God in the future." The law must be fulfilled immediately in order to live in the name of God, because the time has come for many to start working in the name of God. In a town in America, there lived a worker whose motto was, "The Lord will provide," and his wife kept scolding him and trying to save some money for herself. A crisis ensued and after a while he was fired by his master. He spent even his last penny. One day, while he was praying, a boy came and threw a magpie to him through the window, saying, "Here you are, the Lord will provide for you." He took the magpie, and as he began to examine from what death it had died, he found in it a chain of pearls belonging to his mistress. He brought it to them against his wife's will. Then his master asked him about his situation and gave him a much better job. If we all, as we work, say, "Everything that we make is mine," but we possess nothing for ourselves, if everyone work voluntarily to enjoys all the fruits, then great happiness will come. So now, Christ is preaching a faith of love. The Bulgarians fought two wars to liberate themselves, and what did they do? They accumulated a debt of 20,000,000,000 leva. But if we had followed the law, to trust in the faith, this misfortune would not have happened to us. Let us set to apply the teachings of Christ - faith of light and love of warmth. God's Love is of light and warmth. When you do not have any faith in someone, you do not love them. These two qualities are inseparable. Where there is faith and love, there is everything, there is no hatred, there is no death. When we love someone, let us have absolute faith in them. Where there is faith and love, everything can be done and be blessed. That is why Christ says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." So, you will now look for the living Lord, Who is not written (painted) in the churches. God is not in the churches, He is not present in churches. He is not in Jerusalem; today He he is with the poor, with those suffering and he is committed to fixing the world. God is fed up with our lies, we have lied to Him 999 times. He is already fed up with the faith and worship in churches. Who goes now to ask the Lord for work will receive it, but whoever wants only to be forgiven will not even called by Him. The Lord is fed up with lies, deceptions, and bright crowns and garments. The way that I am talking to you, you think that this teaching is very difficult. I find it very easy. I believe that you understand me, but there are other spirits in you who do not understand me. You will say to them, "You should be leaving now." Now are the last hours of the old world, which is already leaving. The Lord wants pure hearts with faith and love, and now you should say to the spirits within you, "May the Lord forgive you, go away!", the same way as lice are removed from the head, because we know that the head is not intended for lice, but for sublime thoughts and feelings. Now women work 9 hours just for cooking, and it may turn out too much. In the future teaching, the man should work for himself and the woman for herself, they will both work for the Lord and He will work for us and settle our affairs. 26 September 1920, 11 am.
