  2. Готов превод Обяснения върху обстановката на залата за събрания - 19.8.1919-СБ-240 / .: 19.8.1919-СБ-240 Explanations on the Meeting Room Setting Given at the first introduction into it on August 6/19, 1919 - Feast of the Transfiguration, 7 am. Keep in your mind the setting of the room as it is. These things are put in order according to a certain law. Everything here has its meaning, nothing is superfluous. The purple paint above the door indicates that you need to be strong; the green one wants you to grow in God's virtue; the pink one - your heart to be filled with love; the blue one - your mind to be filled with faith; the orange one means a manifestation of physical life. This picture with concentric circles shows the path of development of the human soul, the primary origin of man - how he began his life. The other picture - the pentagram - shows the man in his current state - the path that he has taken. The image of Christ that you see here represents man's current desire to draw closer to Christ, Man has started from the virtues going upwards, he has entered paradise: the tree that you see is the tree of paradise; then he sinned, passed through the wisdom obtained through ordeal; and at last he passed through love and entered into salvation. Then he will ascend through the way of justice, then he will descend into the way of truth, and then he will already be united with God. Virtue, wisdom, love, justice and truth - this is the path through which one ascends. The inscription on the pentagram is: In fulfillment the will of God through love lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through wisdom lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through justice lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through virtue lies the power of the human soul; in fulfillment the will of God through truth lies the power of the human soul. Your task throughout the year will be: to perceive God as love and wisdom, and through them to instill in your soul all other virtues. Only in this way can you develop and be enlightened. In order to be strong in the world, one must first begin with love. Virtue represents the man himself, who has gone through love. Through wisdom, man has learned God's statements towards him. Now, I will give you the motto: in fulfillment the will of God through love lies the power of the human soul, because God is love. We cannot do the will of God if we do not love Him, if we are not fond of Him. It is God's will that we all be virtuous. To be virtuous - that is in people's relationships with each other. We have to be virtuous not only to our neighbors, but to all creatures - by "neighbors" I also mean all the mammals that serve us, and even the small animals, they are also our relatives in the broadest sense of the word. The first rule for acquiring love is to be humble. Love is a quality known only to the humble, the weak; it is their gift. Strong people, who trust in themselves, do not know what love is. We suffer not from love, but from too much knowledge, from a lot of power. There are two forces in the world: power without love and power with love. The first one, power without love, is a physical force that destroys, while the second one, power with love, is a divine force that creates. So, when we say that we must be strong, we understand that we must have the power of divine love. Apart from what I have said so far about your task during the year, I will give you, as a motto, "The Good Prayer" - to reflect on the deep meaning that it contains. Read a line from it during the day and let the principles, laid down in it, be spiritualized in you through the law of love. (Following is the first public talk "World Love", held on the same day, 10 am, at "Nadezhda" Community Centre, Tarnovo city). Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  3. Готов превод Когато посрещате - 10.10.1920-НБ-327 / .: 10.10.1920-НБ-327 When You Meet More than 50-60 people attended the meeting. We sang, "A Solemn Day is Already Rising". The Lord's Prayer. The Master read several verses from the 12th chapter of the Gospel of John, verses 1 to 14. We sang, "Blessed Be the Lord our God." I will take one of the ordinary verses - verse 12: "The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem," Many times people do not see anything extraordinary in ordinary things. For example, take a grain of wheat, if it is given to you, it will look somewhat ordinary and you will throw it away, because it seems to have no value. For example, there are 16,000 grains in 1 kilogram, which were once sold for 1 penny, and now for 3 leva. Calculate how many tenths of a penny a grain costs. The one who understands the great laws that govern the Universe, sees a great secret in it. And if the modern world were to be deprived of this one grain of wheat, it would greatly feel the significance of this grain of wheat, because this one grain of wheat, which came alone, is filling up the whole world today. Jerusalem is the visible in the world, which has a form that modern people call reality. But people contradict themselves. I am asking you, has anyone seen love? No, people strive for it, for the invisible in general. People soon get fed up with what they can see. "I saw the man," says someone, but this is only an illusion - the outward form, the shadow of his manifestation, but the real man is invisible. "I met John," someone says, but it is just an illusion. What did you see? You saw the fat John, etc., but he is not the man; you have not seen John, you have seen his manifestation. If the teacher says to the student, "Write (draw) an ox for me," well, can the real ox be drawn? This is not possible, but he must say: "Draw for me the image", i.e. the icon of the ox. And people go to church and want to see Jesus. Jesus is the central person and a point they seek to see, because he is a messenger of God who came to save and heal the sick. Icons are images and shadows, but the essence is invisible. The people also went out to see the shadow of Christ out of curiosity. Curiosity is a stimulus in life. Have you seen sick people, with what impatience and interest they await the doctor? And this Jewish people in their souls thus expected healing from Christ; so in the soul of this people Christ is not just a curiosity, but they came out to meet Him out of love. Whoever is loved, only he is welcomed in this world. The Jewish people also had a love for Jesus, and the high priests, seeing that the people were going to welcome Jesus, they resisted and plotted evil against Him. Why does this split happen? Are priests, who persecute the Lord's messenger, right? I say that they are mercenaries. The clergy, who claim to serve God, to be ordained, to be God's elects, they persecute and have always persecuted those who come, and are the true messengers of God. Therefore, they are not God's true elects and priests. When some people come out to meet and rob you, it is one thing, but when they meet you to take you home and feed you, it is another matter. Let me get back to the essence of this life. What is the relationship between this people and Jesus? Do you think that if this Christ came into the world today, there would still be no dispute over whether it was Him or not? Take one of the greatest forces in the world - the love that acts - you can neither touch it nor see it, but until it is there, everything makes sense, and if it goes away, that is without it, everything loses its meaning and appeal. Love embodies itself, takes on a living form and descends to earth in order to save. Christ is also embodied love. He says, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly". At one place in the Scriptures, the Apostle Paul says, "Love edifies, but knowledge puffs up." The word "knowledge" here implies a distorted life that makes people proud. And this is misinterpreted by some Christians. But nowhere is it said that wisdom, i.e. true knowledge, puffs up. Jesus came down to earth to give people an example of how to serve God. If you ask me why there is suffering on earth, I will say because we do not know how to serve God. If a student does not study, if a trader does not do well in trade, I will say to young people, doctors, mothers, etc., it is because they know nothing. When someone says he has knowledge, I ask him: your home, your children, your friends, your church, etc. are they in order? And if he replies that they are not, I tell him that he has no knowledge. These people go out to meet Jesus because they are fed up with the lies of their clergy. To those who come to me after killing, robbing or stealing from someone, I tell them: Go, give everything back to those you have harmed, and then come to me. An example: at the Sofia market two thieves deceived a peasant, they took a pot of butter from him, gave him a note to go to the priest to get paid. The same thieves went to the priest before the peasant, gave him 20 leva and told him that in a while a mad peasant would come to him to read prayers for his health, and so they gave him this money and left. After a while, the peasant came to the priest, who immediately put the vestment over the peasant's head, took the service book and began to read. The peasant was glad that the priest was very good, so before paying him, he readily prayed about his health, but when the priest finished the prayer and started to move away from him, the peasant shouted at him: "What about the money for the butter?" And he replied that he had not taken any butter and that a while ago two young people came to pay him 20 leva, asking him to pray for the health of the peasant who would come soon, and they left. Then the peasant told him, "Father, please pay me at least half of it." And when the priest refused, he said angrily, "You must be friends with the thieves." Now, if this priest did not read prayers for money, he would not expose himself. Those people who read prayers for money, are partners with robbers. Nowhere in the Word of God is it written that prayers should be read for money, but it is said: "Freely you have received, freely give." The most guilty people in the world have been bishops, priests and preachers; so it was in the time of Christ, so it is now. The misfortunes in our country come from the wrong understanding of things. I am not talking about the Bulgarian clergy and I do not blame only them. I am saying to the bishops, the priests, etc., that they must have a pure heart, a bright mind, a noble soul and a sublime willpower, while mitres, vestments, clothes and everything else are meaningless and pointless. Christ comes into the world and the people welcome Him, you are also greeted by your thoughts, they are the people for you. Therefore, when your thoughts greet you joyfully, it is good for you, but when your thoughts do not greet you joyfully, it is bad for you. That was 2,000 years ago. What change has occurred for 2,000 years? It has occurred, but this change occurred in the astral world. In the future, we must all lead a clean and holy life, and each of us, who does not have the above mentioned four qualities, is a priest. The greatest crimes in the world were committed by monks, bishops, priests, kings, etc., only the Roman Church burned 50,000,000 Christians. The true church is in the invisible realm, in heaven, in the spiritual world, and it is intangible. The church is a communion of people who live by love and wisdom, who do not lie to each other, but live in brotherhood. This is what Christ meant when He spoke of the Kingdom of God. We are priests too. You, who condemn the priests, must show in practice what the true priests should be, and if you are like them, you will find yourself in conflict. An example: the Turk's contradiction over the sacrifice. A Turk bought a ram for sacrifice and while he was carrying it along the road to take it to the hodja, the ram was moving and he was calling it all kinds of names - pig, infidel, stray dog, etc. When he took it to the hodja and told him everything he had said to the ram, he asked the hodja if it was suitable for a sacrifice, the hodja told him that it was not suitable; so he returned it and sold it, then bought another ram instead and started carrying it along the road. That ram also began to move. The Turk got angry and said to the ram, "You are also like that one, but never mind, have it your way" and he did not dare say anything to it, and when he brought the ram, it was approved for sacrifice. Jesus represents man, i.e. the Divine soul, that state when we are ready to do the will of God in form, content and meaning, and we are ready for all sacrifices. That state in us that makes us ready to do the will of God, as is the law within us, is called Jesus. An example: you beat someone but you ask what you should do, i.e. you pretend you do not know the right way, but as soon as they beat you, you say the opposite, that is: "They should not have done that to me, that is not right", etc. I am telling you: You know how to live, but do not live properly. For Christians today, a lot of pressure is needed for them to learn how to live. Years ago, a mother in Varna made her daughter read the Lord's Prayer; she urged her to say the Lord's Prayer, and when the daughter did not want to read it, the mother lifted her up and threw her on the ground, then she immediately shouted out "Our Father". The Lord will also shake people in this way and they will start reading the Lord's Prayer willy-nilly, i.e. whether they like it or not. People say they do not want to be fooled by priests' sermons, but they tell the daily lies of journalists, who are also paid priests. And when we come to this position to understand the deep meaning of that state of affairs and to distinguish the various scents of matter, that is, pleasant and disharmonious, my nose says, "Stay away from the stinking ox." And the Divine feeling, which is inside us and which is indignant with sin, tells us: "Stay away from sin." And what defiles the soul are all of these harmless-looking, insignificant and tolerable vices. My point here is about welcoming Jesus. This meeting must be internal. When you meet the sun, do you give, or does it give you? Whoever you meet, they give, and whoever welcomes, they take, so when you are welcomed, your pockets, your bag must be full, otherwise people will be reluctant to welcome you. The sun, food and water, when you welcome them, they give you. For example: we announce that I am giving someone a million leva of money, to give away to the poor. Such a man would be greeted at the station with flags because of the million that he carries. It is the same with priests. If priests under this law want to be welcomed, when they read to a poor widow, instead of asking her for money, they should give it to her when they see that she needs support. Now, what is true of the priests, also applies to us. Do you think that there will be at least 10 priests in Bulgaria who would do the same - to give to the poor the money taken from the rich? And do you know the meaning of the incense burner? It means the fire of the heart that the priest must give to the world. The service book means the living word that must be given to the world pure, without any impurity. We, who judge the priests to be bad, are we good? Each of us is a priest before God. Have you entertained the poor people, have you given them shelter, etc.? A student studies all year round, but at the exam he may be asked such questions and tasks, that he fails it. It is the same with you. The life we are going through now, this Divine life teaches us to understand how we should live it. If you were asked what you wanted to become, one would want to become a professor, another one a teacher, a third one a bishop, etc., all noble positions. There are one billion six hundred million people in the world, and how many of them could be noble? Real life does not take place on the outside. When a good thought enters your mind and you feed it, it does not need clothes, it does not need a hat, etc., if you only feed it and return it to the invisible world, you are a good person in front of God. So, in the world, we can nurture good thoughts without the world knowing us, and everyone can do that. And I say that the expenses for feeding a good thought costs only a penny. And there is no person who cannot nurture a good thought. Now keep in mind that Jesus, Who descends to earth, comes down from a higher world, leaves His peace and descends to endure all the contradictions out of love, in order to teach people. And now Jesus is here among you, he has appeared to many saints and he has appeared to many people in Bulgaria. In order to see the Divine light, you must have love in your soul. Whom is a blossom revealed to? Is it not to the sun, while it shrinks in the cold. We ask, "What should we do to make people love us?" - Do what the sun does - give. We are going to build our house. We collect materials first. This is not essential. The important thing is not the construction of the house, but the important thing is who will come to live in this house. A child who is born of a good mother will definitely be visited by its mother, and a child who is not born of a good mother will not be found, will not be visited by her. You are also Christians, but have you seen Jesus at least once? It will be ridiculous for a child to think about its mother without seeing her. I would like you to think about praying for the Lord to appear to you, to see this Lord Whom you believe in, to know your Lord, to walk in His ways. My Lord, I know Him, He is the same as yours. This is the living Lord. He is on earth. The word "heaven" means rational life. The Lord is in the rational life. The Lord is there. The rational, the sublime which is in man, that is the Lord, i.e. Our Father, Who lives in our rational life. Before you ask your Lord, do not go to the priest, to the bishop, asking them if this is so. Because they will start opening books and quoting authors what they said. Do not turn to the bishop, even to me even in various difficulties, but say: "Lord, tell me the truth, teach me or send me at least one person to teach me." I would like there to be priests who were initiated by God. I call "initiated" a priest and a bishop, who, when initiated, they give away everything they had. In the old days, when they laid hands on someone, they started speaking different languages, the sick were healed and handed over their property. When we want to be like Jesus, we have to be like Him and act like Him. A priest is one who is ready to follow the example of Christ. Christ was strong because he obeyed the will of God. I am showing you the way to be happy and to live according to God, and then your work will go smoothly and be blessed. In the old days, a saint who came to Athens stayed hungry for six days, and when there was no one to feed him, he started shouting, "They killed me." People gathered around him and asked him who had killed him. He replied, "Hunger." Then a rich man asked him, "Would you sell yourself to be a slave and for how much?" He agreed to sell himself for 1,000 dinars and when he went to the rich man's house, he stayed there for 10 years, turning his two daughters and his whole house to God. This world was created by God and life is rational. Faith implies that you need to have an art, with which to serve people. That is why we need to know any kind of craft, so that we can make a living in all conditions and changes in life. Christ knew how to heal, he also knew carpentry. Today's priests know neither how to heal nor any kind of craft. The priest should know how to heal people. There is only one good teaching in the world: the one that teaches people to know how to heal themselves, to know some art with which to help people; this is the true teaching - the rational teaching. But a teaching that divides people into Catholics, Orthodox and others, is from the evil one. Names only distinguish a man from another man. All people breathe the same air, all people drink the same water, they eat the same food. Eating is according to the law of love. Same is with drinking and breathing. All people and animals eat, drink and breathe the same and accept everything, but the wolf turns the light into one thing, the sheep into another, etc. And therefore the Divine teaching is one, but people distort it. Things that are built by man fall apart, but those built by God are lasting. The European people have suffered from disobedience. So have the Bulgarians. And if the priests had listened to the voice of their people, they would have saved them. If the priests had listened to the voice of the people in 1912-1913, these wars would not have ruined us. They acted in a human way, so they received in a human way. Reunification could have come, if everyone had united in harmony, respecting each other. There is no man in the world who does not succumb to the influence of Divine love and light. For example: someone treats a sick person in a dirty room. A sensible doctor comes and says, "Bring the patient out to light," and then the patient recovers. And today, because we live in unhygienic homes, i.e. our teaching is not right - we get sick. When Jesus comes to your home, He will make a good reform for you inside your home. You pray in the morning, and half an hour later the Lord decides to visit you in the face of a beggar, so he knocks on the door for help, and not only that you do not help him, but you drive him away, telling him: "Come on, go away now, as I have work to do.” Property and wealth should not be taken from the rich by force, but everyone should decide their own destiny and consciously give their property and wealth away. God has given them wealth and given him them willpower to deal with it by themselves. I will not tell the rich to give their wealth away, God only prompts. If they asked me, I would say: Get the rich out of prisons. And to the rich, I would say: Confess to the people and voluntarily give what has been taken unjustly and everything will be fine. But taking wealth by using courts and prisons is violence. Nor am I telling you to give it away, because that would be a second violence. And now they are being prosecuted in this way, not the true way. True judgement! Judgement with love. It can be said: From now on, I decide to live in love - a conscious life, not as before; priests, bishops and judges, etc. they are always prosecuted and imprisoned. Voluntarily, voluntarily and voluntarily, and with love. The example of the girl who was loved by a rich guy and he lied to her, but she became a nun and kept thinking about him. She did not do the right thing. And she must say: "This one was not from the Lord." A rich man wanted her, she lied to herself, not he to her. She should say, "That is what God said." Now I will also say about your city: Has Jesus come, have the people come out to meet Him? Has Lazarus risen? Has Mary anointed His feet? I am telling you that whoever does not want to crucify Jesus, let them do the will of God voluntarily, and then the Kingdom of God will come here on earth, and then the living Lord will appear to him. A learned gentleman came to me in Sofia and said, "I hear you were a clairvoyant, tell me what I am thinking at the moment." I replied, "You are thinking that many have lied to you so far, so this one will also lie to you." This is the great teaching that Jesus preached among the people. There are three great laws that should govern us in life: Faith in our Father - God. Faith in our soul - the manifested Lord within me. Faith in our neighbor, that is, we should see the manifestation of the Lord in our neighbor. There are still 5-10 years left and the Lord will open all the coffers, He will lift you up, will knock you to the ground and everyone will read the Lord's Prayer aloud. There is a delay of forty-five years in the Divine Plan. There are 10 years left and God will open all hearts and coffers. Whoever does not see the Lord now, will see Him in 10 years. Whoever does not see Him in 10 years, will see Him in 100 years. Whoever does not see Him in 100 years, will see Him in 1000 years, but in these three periods everyone will definitely see Him. And now Jesus is coming to see if you are going to meet Him. I believe in visible and living icons. People kiss the icons, but they pass by their suffering brother. As many churches as there are, each one has a St. John, but St. John is one. For example: in Russia, an emperor asked for the head of John the Baptist to be brought to him (Some talks refer to the head of John of Kronstadt). And they brought him one head each from 40 monasteries, 40 heads in total, while St. John had only one head. Then he said to the Chairman of the Synod: "Do not deceive the world!" And Christ today does not have 40 heads, He has only one head. This head lives up in heaven; it is nowhere on earth, it is up in heaven, in the rational life of man, of all those who live a rational life. I would like you to leave with this thought today. To meet this Jesus and do the will of God willingly, without waiting to be shaken. To do the will of God and turn to God this year. Then the remaining 9 years will be a blessing for you. Do you see how good the weather is today? The Lord is saying to you, "Thus it will be in the soul of everyone who voluntarily does the will of God." This is it, my teaching. Amen. You have to see Christ like the child, who has a living mother and sees her. For example: in America, a girl had not seen her mother for 16 years, but when she became seriously ill and in a transcendent state, her mother arrived, laid her hands on her and the girl shouted: "Mom", she recognized her and recovered immediately. 10 October 1920, 10 am.

  4. Готов превод Сутрешен наряд, 24 август и Големец и слуга - 24.8.1920-СБ-313 / .: 24.8.1920-СБ-313 Morning Prayer, 24 August and Master and Servant 24 August, Tuesday, 6 am. "The Good Prayer." "Bless the Lord, O my soul." (song) Reflection. For the establishment of the full Love of God among all brothers and sisters on the face of the Earth. For the establishment of the unity of the Spirit. For the reigning of the Truth in its wholeness among us. May the Lord fulfill all His good intentions, which He initially predestined according to His grace. Let us all be faithful to our calling, let us fulfill His good Will with all our heart. Let us love the Lord with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength. Let us love all our brothers and sisters and our loved ones, as our own soul. "The Lord's Prayer". 24 August, 8 am. Great Man and Servant "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant." Matthew 20:26 With this verse Christ defines a principle. He does not say that every man should be a servant, but he says that whoever wants to be a master among you, must be your servant - only the one who wants to be a master, must be a servant. At first glance, these words of Christ seem a bit contradictory - how is it possible for one who wants to be great, polite, to become a servant and humiliate himself? This is namely the Divine Law: the father and mother, who want to become masters, must first become servants. Do the king and queen not obey the same law on Earth? If a mother does not decide to serve her sons and daughters, can she become a mistress? If a father does not decide to serve his sons and daughters, can he become a master? Indeed, there is no better servant than the mother and no better servant than the father. So this law is true in its essence. Then we apply the following as a rule: every mother and every father, who wants to have children, must become a servant; every teacher, who wants to have students, must become a servant. In these words of Christ is hidden a great Divine thought. Who can serve? Only the strong, the smart, the good man can serve. Whoever wants to become a doctor, must also serve. Whom? The sick. He will do his bandages, massages, he will have to understand very well his art as a doctor, as a servant of the sick. Otherwise, no patient would call a doctor. Now I see in your eyes that you all want to be masters. You have a very good thought, but the Lord says of you, "Tell them to learn to serve." You will object to me, "How come, we have not heard of such a thing that we must serve!" No, how many times has this thought crossed your mind, but you stick to your old habits and say to yourself, "Is it always me that has to serve?" Yes, you will serve - if you want to be masters, you will serve; if you do not want to be masters, you will not serve. Therefore, the one who does not want to serve, cannot be a master. From now on, we have to apply this principle in our daily lives - if we cannot apply it, we will not be able to solve one of the most important social issues. Let us consider this question in its broad aspects. That master who wants to have many sheep and cattle, does he not prepare hay and any other food for them? Who is the man who wants to be a master, to be noble, great in front of other people, but not to serve his horses, oxen and sheep? Every shepherd, every master serves his sheep. But once we get into public life and start dealing with people, we think the law of service should be applied differently. No, this law must be applied here in the same way. Christ says, "Let him be your servant." To whom? You can only be a servant to someone you love - you cannot serve someone you do not love. Therefore, by the word servant Christ means a master, because service is related to Love, and Love strives for the Great, it strives to embrace all people and to rule them. This is the desire of Love. Christ says, "The one who has this law in his soul, should manifest the other aspirations of Love, he should serve others that he loves." And so, from Christ's words it is understood that true greatness is based on service - if you serve you will be a great man; if you do not serve, you cannot be a great man; if you serve, you can be a mother; if you do not serve, you cannot become a mother; if you serve, you can be a father; if you do not serve, you cannot become a father; if you serve, you can be a teacher; if you do not serve, you cannot become a teacher. This law, the law of service, always exists between two opposites: between servants and masters, between teachers and students, between mothers and daughters, between fathers and sons. So, when we love someone, we must be so delicate, attentive to the soul, mind and heart of our beloved being, not to allow in him the thought that we want to use him, but to leave in him the thought that we are ready to sacrifice for him - if during your whole life you can inspire in someone's soul the thought that you are ready to sacrifice for him, then you are saved; if you inspire in him the thought that you want to use him, then you are lost. I would like to see a competition between you in exercising the position of servants - I value servants. Now the Lord needs servants. The first servant is the Lord, He wants helpers - from a Master, the Lord has become a servant. Scripture says, "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." Today the Lord does not want masters, because He Himself is not a master. That He Himself is not a master is evident from the fact that if He were a master, the world would move forward. And because the world is left to govern itself, it is out of order. If I am asked when the world will get better, I will answer: when you leave the positions of greatness. And so, when all people leave their noble positions, when they step down from them and start working like God - as servants - the world will get better and thus the issue will be resolved. This is the thought that Christ put into this verse to solve the social problem. When will suffering disappear? When a man becomes his wife's servant and the woman becomes her husband's servant; when the brother becomes his sister's servant and the sister, her brother's servant; when the master becomes the servant of his servant and the servant becomes the servant of his master. This resolves the issue - there are no two opinions, there is no other philosophy, no other way. This is the only method by which we can resolve the issue in principle. You will ask how - you are invited for lunch or dinner; let the one you love sit in the first place, let him eat, and you sit in the last place. Here is how to resolve the issue. The weak must be fed first, then the strong. This law also applies in Nature - who can go through the little holes: the big people or the little bugs? Since the Lord leaves the big door for the great people, He opens that door the last - first He opens the small doors for the little ones to pass through, then He gradually opens the bigger doors and finally He opens the biggest ones, and through them pass the biggest people. The law is the same when a building is destroyed - when it begins to collapse, a piece is broken off first, then a second one, a third one, until the whole of it is destroyed. The same law also applies to the construction of the building - a stone is placed first, then a second one, a third one, until the whole building is erected. I want us to resolve this issue in principle, namely, to decide to be servants in order to be with the Lord. Try to get rid of that great ambition you have. You often say, "How can they insult me - who has so much knowledge and who is of such noble origin!" You should hang up your ambition, origin and knowledge on a nail and show yourself to people as God created you - everything else is a ribbon, it does not matter, your knowledge today will be ignorance tomorrow. Why have we, the modern people who think we know a lot, not fixed the world, nor fixed our lives so far? When I talk about one thing or another, many say, "We know that." I say to myself, "You do not know anything yet!" Until you gain the power to polarize yourselves, to restore your peace, to find satisfaction in service and to consider it a privilege doing a little favor to anyone, until then you cannot say that you know something. Let us say that you walk on the road and meet a poor old man; he trembles and cannot tie his shoe, but you do not pay attention to him, this seems like a trifle to you, because at this moment you are solving an important issue of brotherhood and equality. No, you will put aside the issue of brotherhood and equality, and will stop to tie this old man's shoes. If you do so, the issue of brotherhood and equality is resolved, but if you pass the old man without helping him, the issue is not resolved. I will now turn to you, men and women, to explain to you how you spoil Love. Love always requires service. Two young men, a boy and a girl, talk sweet words to each other. The boy says, "You are my angel, you are the meaning of my life, only with you there is life, joy, but without you I will commit suicide." She says the same, "You are an angel to me, without you I can not live." And so, while before they get married, the words "my angel", "my dove", "my dear Ivan", "my dear Mara" are heard. If they get married, there is no more "angel", no more "dove" but "hey, Ivan", "hey, Mara". I ask, why did this inner change happen, where did this angel go? Angel means a servant. But when you say "hey, Ivan", this shows that this "dear Ivan", the angel, has now become a master. The two of them had not loved each other. Why is Love broken? Because when a man and a woman come to live together, they begin to see their shortcomings. The woman does not get into her husband's shoes but constantly tells him to bring this or that, and he only hears: "Bring me, bring me!" And he thought that if he got married, she would make him happy - he did not get married to serve her, but she to serve him. And the woman also says that she did not marry to serve, but to be served. And so, as soon as they get married, the cards come to light - not two angels, not two servants, but two masters got married. Here is the mistake. I would like two people to get married as servants in their relationship - only then can life be expected between them. If they get married as a master and a mistress - may the Lord protect you from such a home! In such a family, little mistresses and masters will be born; the first and second little master will start pulling each other's hair. And if servants and maidens get married, little servants will be born who will live well and say: "Now we understand the law!" The Lord says: I am fed up with masters and mistresses, with their marriages and births of little masters. From now on, I want servants and maids to get married.” I am saying this to you literally. The first little master to be born in a home is loved by everyone, and the mother says, "My little angel!" But her child turns and bites her. I say: whoever bites is not an angel, but a master. Do you know who is the first master in the world? The first master in the world is the wolf. It does not graze sheep, it does not plow, it does not sow, but it says, "I am the master," and goes from barn to barn, from flock to flock, "I am a tax collector!" Why is the wolf proverbial as a wolf? Because he is the first master in the world. I use this thought both literally and figuratively. Literally I mean the idea as it is, and figuratively I mean that inner disposition of man when he wants to use the thoughts and feelings of anyone, as the wolf uses its victims. So, one of the qualities of a servant, as this word is put in the Bulgarian language, is to learn that great law of emptying, to know how to get empty. The one who goes for water with a jug, has to empty the jug first and then pour water into it, doesn't he? Every person, who wants to serve God, must know the first law: to empty his heart and mind of all evil thoughts and feelings. Someone insulted you, turn your pitcher over: glug... glug... glug... And when you empty it, put Divine feelings in it. Someone has offended you - turn your heart down. Did you know that now, in the physical world, the heart is turned up? When you enter an Occult school, the first thing they will teach you there is to empty yourselves. When they empty your mind, you will feel that you know nothing; when they empty your heart, you will feel that you do not love anyone. But this is only on the face of it - when you empty your mind, you will put it under that spout of Divine thoughts, from which higher Divine ideas will flow into your mind; when you empty your heart, you will put it in front of the Divine spout of feelings and you will experience an inflow of Divine feelings, of a great life. I would like you, as students of the Occult School, to turn your heart upside down and empty it - the blade of the heart, which is the top of a triangle, should be turned up and the base should stay down. I am asking you: what benefit will you have, if you keep a bitter feeling in your heart for years? You will have absolutely no benefit. Imagine that someone has offended you and you get up in the morning with the thought: "Oh, how deeply he insulted me, I will never forgive him!" You repeat the same thing on the second day, the third day. And what is this? A mere idolatry, in which your whole being, your whole world, is embittered. I say: I do not need such gods, let my altar remain empty. Instead of putting into your heart the one who has done you harm, put the one who has done you a great good, and say, "Lord, You have done me a great good and I am ready to do anything for You." Put Christ in the same place, receive the Spirit of Christ in your hearts, receive the thoughts of Christ in your minds, and you will not need anything else. When Christ comes to your hearts and knocks, He will ask you, "Are your pitchers empty or full, are your minds empty or full, are your hearts empty or full?" When the young man comes to ask for a maiden's hand, he asks her, "Is your heart free or not?" - he means if her heart is empty or full. Which maidens do get married? Those whose hearts are empty. The maiden answers, "I am free, my heart is empty." And Christ is now asking you, "Are your hearts full or empty. i.e. are you free or not? ”(Answer:“ Empty. ”) There is no need for you to tell me, you will not resolve this issue with me. Tomorrow, tomorrow you will solve it, because tomorrow you will be caught like cattle. All people whose hearts and minds are full are cattle - whoever does not want to be an ox, their heart and mind must be empty. Occultists say, "When there is a desire in the heart, that desire is an obstacle for the disciple and it will lead him into sin." You have a desire to become rich, to insure yourself - this desire will be a reason to invest your life in it and you will lag behind by 10-15 years; you will desire, you will desire until someone comes and robs you. Well, there were millionaires in Russia with four or five million rubles each, but now they have fled Russia as the poorest people. Did they secure themselves with this money? Christ showed them that they were on the wrong path. You are amazed when I say that people should serve, and unselfishly so - the priests protest and say that their salaries are low, they cannot preach without money. Well, the priests take 500 leva each, but do the bishops, taking 8000 leva each, preach for free? Therefore, it is not a question of money, but there is something else that hinders people. That is evident from the following fact: a German preacher was known for his eloquence in his sermons. One day the king, whose favorite was the preacher, issued an order to increase the preacher's salary so that he could preach more often and his word could be heard farther. But the king noticed that under these conditions sermons began to be heard less and less. He asked about the reason for this and the Minister replied: "Your Majesty, you should know that when a rooster gets fat, it does not sing." Any peasant woman you ask will answer that when a rooster gets fat, it does not sing. The English say, "It is a bad omen when a rooster does not sing!" Christ foretold to the Jews how they could rise as a people, namely, if the scribes and Pharisees accepted His teaching. Bulgarians are now resolving the same issue. Today, Christ tells them again: "This nation does not need priests, bishops, masters, but servants - servants are necessary." This nation needs priests-servants, teachers-servants, ministers-servants - servants are needed everywhere, servants... Such is the law of the angels, such is the law of the White Brotherhood, which now rules the world. All the White Brothers, all the angels in heaven, are fulfilling this great law. When you go into their world, you will notice that the smartest, the most exalted, the most noble work the most and occupy the lowest places. Today the church expects Christ to come down to earth dressed in a mantle, with nice clothes and a sword in his hand, so that everyone can see Him - well, if this is how they imagine Christ and if they expect Him like that, was not the German emperor in 1915 this Christ? This is not the way Christ will come down into the world. No king, no philosopher, no priest or bishop who walks this ordinary path, can bring anything new into this world. If Christ came into the world today and joined a church procession of 10-15,000 priests, do you know where you will find Him? You will find Him last, at the end of the whole procession, because the priests are masters and preach that the Lord was such and such. These priests know nothing. For example, they often say, "Blessed be the Lord our God!" But I say, "The Lord cannot be blessed for one who does not know how to work — He can only be blessed for one who knows how to work." Blessed is this Lord who lives in the hearts of mothers, fathers and servants, who know how to serve. Speaking to you on this verse, I do not want you to make an effort to apply it, I do not want you to apply it artificially, but the service should come from an inner feeling, from an inner motivation. Do not tell anyone, "I am a servant," but let your life and deeds show that you are servants. I have seen many daughters who, after working at home, start complaining and saying, "Well, I have worked a lot, I got blisters on my hands." But blisters are not a sign that a person has worked hard. Put a peasant woman and a townswoman in the same job - the peasant woman will work ten hours and she will not get pimples, but the townswoman will work for fifteen minutes and will have blisters on her hands. Judging by the blisters, it turns out that the townswoman worked harder than the peasant, but this is not the case, it is not right. It is right to be guided by that great sense of satisfaction that we experience when we work. Only in this way will brotherhood be established between us. Let us not say, "But that one does not serve!" No, you will solve the question for yourself by asking yourself, "Do I serve, do I show the qualities of a servant?" How will we know that an artist is good? We will look at his work, we will make him draw a picture and after he draws it, we will decide whether it is good or bad. When we say that someone is a musician, we say that he is one only after we have heard him play and there is complete harmony in his playing. This is what we do in all cases when we judge something. For example, women say that men need to be corrected - no, women need to be corrected. Men say that women need to be corrected - no, men need to be corrected. You will ask who needs to be corrected first - who is vying to become a servant. When she came out of the man's rib and saw that she did not have much knowledge, the woman wanted to have knowledge and therefore sold her honor - she sold her honor in heaven for greatness, and that is only for one apple! You will argue that she was deceived, etc. - No, your first mother, this first vain woman in heaven, was a mistress there and had not learned the law of service. In the original language, the word Eve means the science of small quantities - God had ordained her to study the science of small quantities, but she was not happy and said that she would study large quantities and show this fool, from whom she was made, that she is not in an inferior position to him. But they both came out of heaven. You are married, I am not, but I will tell you what your situation is when you get married. Two young people get married and in a week's time each of them wants to be the master and they say: "Let us see which rooster will start singing now." They quarrel and a psychological battle between them begins. Then reconciliation begins - he apologizes, she too, they forgive each other. Some time passes and they quarrel again, there is no peace between them. Why? Because they both want to be masters of the house. The wife says: "How come, I was a servant to my mother, but here I want to be a mistress!" No, this woman was a mistress to her mother - the mother and father work, and she commands. But now here, with her husband, she will be a servant. Therefore, when they get married, women will have to roll up their sleeves and say, "Come, My Lord, to help, I will be a servant here and will start working." Men should say the same. I want you, as students of the Occult School, to roll up their sleeves, just as I have rolled up my sleeves, and let us be all servants of the Lord. A servant should neither exaggerate nor belittle the tasks assigned to him by his master. When you comfort a brother of yours, tell him, "Brother, I know why you are unhappy - you have not learned the law of serving, but you want to be a master." When you comfort your sister, tell her, "Sister, you are unhappy because you have not learned the law of serving, but you want to be a mistress.” Serving is necessary, however, it must not be enforced but voluntary. If you follow this rule, 95% of your misfortunes will disappear. This great law, the law of service, is this: when we spiritually accept to carry Love and endure everything with Love, God comes to us - Love is conscious, it penetrates everywhere, it will begin to speak to you, it is God. I am not talking to comfort you - you can try and test it yourselves. Open your heart and put Love into it; then the Lord will begin to speak to you so clearly, as He has never spoken to you before. He will tell you, "This is how it will be done, you should do this, this is how it is served!" Imagine that you are walking in the way of Christ and see that a rich man gives his wealth away and begins to serve humanity. You say, "Here is one of the good servants." If you like his deeds, do the same, become servants of mankind. I am not talking about what is tangible, but about what you have in your mind, in your heart and in your will; we must place all this at the service of the Kingdom of God, of this new act, which the Lord brings into the world in order for us to fulfill His good Will. It is namely as servants that we will not leave our position, we will not think where we are - wherever we are, we will not care. What is the difference between a servant-janitor at a ministry and a servant to a farmer? Which one of the two is in a better position? I would prefer to be a servant in the fields or in a garden, because the air is clean there. So, angels and saints are the first servants. They are not wearing mantles or magnificent clothes, but they are the best workers. You will find these angels among the scholars, you will find them among all the men and women who comfort the unfortunate ones and tell them, "Do not be afraid, the Lord is among you, He will comfort you!" They comfort them, and the Lord tells them, "I am here, I will put that in order.” The only thing the Lord is doing now is driving the masters out, i.e. he does not drive them out of the world, but tells them, "You stay, do not interfere in anything, we will feed you." He gives them a large table, puts a basin of water for them to wash, cleans their shoes, cooks for them and asks them, "Are you ready for the table now?" That is what the New Teaching says. Therefore, the servants will not drive their masters out, but will say to them, "Brothers, you, being my masters, will be sitting at the table, and we will be serving you." This is the teaching that Christ wants for you. Christ is coming even today, but He is not coming for the masters of this world, but for the servants. And when He comes, He will not ask where the teachers, the priests, the bishops, the masters are, but He will ask where the disciples of the New Teaching, the servants, are. To the former, He will give mantels, crowns and put them outside, in the waiting room. So, if you are a master, if you are a bishop, a preacher or some great majesty, you will stay in the waiting room, but if you are a disciple, if you are a servant, you will be with the Lord. You will understand this thought correctly, and if you think like that, you will thoroughly resolve this issue, so that when you come here again next year, you will no longer ask how that issue will be resolved. This is the only way that it can be resolved, there is no other way. This is the law that Christ has placed in the world. Mothers have been using it for thousands of years - and every mother starts well. Some people say: "This work is hard, we have been servants so far, and we will continue to serve in the future!" Then become masters! There are places for masters too - and for them, these are places of honor. For the masters, there are certain portfolios like those for ministers, and they are appointed by decree, but for the servants there is no appointment. We will pay the masters and we will not pay anything to the servants, but there is another law for them - we will give a kiss to everyone who serves. And we will say to the masters: "Welcome, gentlemen, here you are, you are of noble origin, rich, learned men, philosophers, and you deserve our honors, respect, but not a kiss." And we will say to the servant, "Brother, you are of low origin, here you are a kiss!" So, Christ gives away two things - He gives money to the rich and of noble origin, and He gives a kiss to the servant of low origin. Do not despair! Whoever wants money, let them become a master, and whoever wants to work without money, let them become a servant! Whoever is tired of life and wants to become a master, let them come to the table, and whoever does not want to rest - let them become a servant. These are principles that you can apply literally. When you meet, compete to pay homage to each other; however, only the servant is capable of such a great work. I consider the current children to be masters - the mother makes her child shake hands, kiss someone's hand, but it would not, it frowns; the mother says, "My little angel!" What an old master he is! Some children often swell their mouths and cheeks, and their parents ask them why they do so. I do not say anything to the parents, but I think: this child is an old master! This child, swelling with importance, says: "I am great, you should have a better opinion of me!" There are similar mistakes with the spiritual sisters. Some of them, in order to show that they are not servants and that they know a lot, swell with importance - and men also swell. Swelling itself is a negative thought - once you start to swell, you are negative, you think you do not have what you should have, and you start to demagnetize. What should we swell for? If Love lives in me, is there anything better than that? What is Love? Love is God, and the whole world seeks Him. So, we have to take in Love, this living Lord, and become His servants or serve together with Him. This is how we will learn the great art of loving each other. But there can be no love without service - you should not look at the mistakes of the one you want to serve, you will pretend not to see them, and you will love him. Love is like water, it says, "Never mind, you came to me a little unclean, but if you stay in this water for a while, you will be cleansed." They say of someone, "Do you not see how unclean he is!" - Never mind, when the water comes, he will fall into it, he will stay for a while and it will clean him little by little. Do not consider anyone irredeemable, because in God's Love everything is pure, as long as we have patience. If I meet you swelling with importance, I will know that you are masters, if you are not swelling - you are servants. Some say, "I am tired of listening to what Love is." Then you have not understood what Love is. There are 35 million ways in the world in which the word Love can be defined and pronounced. I will show you some of these ways. When we say the word Love, we must penetrate and embrace everything with all our mind and with all our heart, we must learn to pronounce the sounds correctly. Once we learn to sing properly, people will like us, but when we sing and think about what impression we will make, our minds are divided. Therefore, when you love, reject any doubt - whoever you love, they deserve your Love, because you love the Divine soul in them. Never say, "I am sorry I loved them." You have not lost anything, but you and they have both won. I will make a comparison from which you will see what your Love should be like. Let us assume that Love is a Divine fire in which all materials melt. You tell me, "I have this Divine fire in me." I start testing it. I bring a straw and put it in the fire - it burns. Very well. I put a stick - and it also burns. I put lead - it also melts and burns. I put iron, silver, gold - they do not melt. You say, "My Love is Divine." If it is Divine, it will melt everything in itself - Love that cannot melt and evaporate iron, is not Love; Love that cannot melt and evaporate silver and gold, is not Love. Divine Love must melt and evaporate all thoughts and desires that are made of iron, silver and gold. This is the teaching of service. If our Love can melt iron, silver and gold, we will be bearers of the New Teaching. And what fire can melt these refractory metals? Only the fire of the servant. The fire of the master cannot melt iron, silver and gold. The servant has no money, he is poor. Why? Because everything melts and evaporates in his fire. How will money remain in this fire? In this fire, all thoughts and desires of the iron category will disappear and we will be ready to serve the Lord. I have a good opinion of servants. So, I have given you a method how to heal yourselves - if your heart is heavy, you have a lot of iron; if you are not happy with your life, you have a lot of gold; if you think you have no knowledge, you have a lot of silver. You will ask: "How is that?" Give someone a lev. First he will be happy with it, but then he will want to have two leva, then three, four, five, six leva and so on, and throughout the year he will accumulate and look like a loaded donkey. When you return to your Father in the afterlife, do you know what He will say? He will say: "Call my master son! - Well, my son, what did you do on Earth? You collected gold coins, you got rich, didn't you? Place this son of mine at the table, he is a nobleman." Then the Lord says, "Now call My servant son." The servant enters. The Lord asks him, "What did you do on Earth?" "Well, Father, I spent all the gold and silver that you had given me, I ate and spent everything." The Father says: "Bring me the best calf, let us eat and rejoice." Then the son from the fields comes and sees this feast, he says: "How come I work in the fields all day, and such feasts are made for this one!" He swells with importance, angry. The father says, "I slaughtered only one calf for this poor son of mine." That is the solution to the problem. Whoever is a servant, only one calf will be slaughtered for him and he will eat, but for the master brother there will be a house, fields, and money. The master brother says, "You should know that I am the master." The little servant brother says, "Well, brother, whatever you say, so it will be." So, now Christ turns to all of you and says, “You, My fellow masters, who work in the fields, and you, My fellow servants, who have eaten everything and are returning to your Father, are you ready to carry My teaching?" I believe that many of you are ready, but stop being arrogant. They say about someone: "His face is sunken." Yes, and then it swells up - this is a small bagpipe. So, in the future, the masters will be bagpipes, and the servants will be the players around. The rich man, the master, will play the bagpipe "skirl-skirl, skirl-skirl", and the servant will jump "stamp, stamp, stamp, stamp." This is how the world will get better. Both servants and masters will be in place. This is a figure of speech. So, in the New Teaching there will be a place for both masters and servants. If you are a master, you will be a bagpipe, if you are a servant - you will dance. People will dance, they will spin and the world will go like that. However, this will not be the case with you: "Whoever wants to be a great man among you, let them be your servant." What I have not mentioned here now, you will resolve yourselves during the year.

  5. Готов превод Молитвата - 8.2.1920-НБ|ИБ-269 / .: 8.2.1920-НБ|ИБ-269 Prayer notes of a talk given by the Master on 8 February 1920, Sofia (handwritten text) "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew, 6: 6 We need to convert words in modern language before we can clarify them, as mathematicians do. We have learned the simple and the compound rule. It reads as follows: "If one worker earns 5 leva for 10 hours, then 10 workers for the same number of hours, working 10 days, how many leva will they earn?" So for the first worker we know that he will earn 5 leva for 10 hours but for the second we do not know - and this is X. And then they determine X by taking one number from the top, another from the bottom and multiplying them. And when modern people are told to pray, they smile a little, they have a religious perception of prayer. Prayer, it is not a waterfall that roars, it is not a wind that shakes the leaves. I can liken the prayer to the dewdrops that fall from above on the earth, or it is a light that comes on the face of the earth and gives life. And do you know why these water drops come from space? Reops asks, "Who gave birth to water drops?" I am asking, "Who gave birth to sun's rays, and why do these drops of water and this light come?" The light comes because of the sighs of all the billions of beings buried in the earth - they sigh and direct their thoughts towards this eternal source. And the dewdrops come to give life, that is also why sun's rays come. I believe that many of you do not agree with me, and I do not want you to agree, because I think agreement is disagreement and disagreement is agreement. When 10 people agree to steal, do you think there is harmony? I am telling you, the words I speak to you, take them like dewdrops and sunlight - they belong to everyone. If you reject a dewdrop, a second, a third, a fourth one will come, and so they will go on top until they make their way. No one can stop the dewdrops and no one can divert the sun's rays from their path. You can make huge buildings for yourselves, you can put narrow vents, you can put curtains to block out the light, but in years to come you will feel the need for it. You can drink wine and beer, but the time will come when you will feel that there is no better drink than water. All the scriptures, everything that people say, I consider it drinks, but what God says is pure water. Have you drunk it? I can describe to you the face of a drunkard who drinks beer, I can describe to you the face of someone who eats meat and another one who eats wheat. They differ: the one who eats meat has sharp, canine teeth, whatever he catches, he breaks bones. The one who drinks wine and beer, his face is swollen, his blood is unclean, his eyes are dim. I take drinking wine in a very broad sense. Do not think that I want to offend you. I take wine as a symbol, something that diverts our thought from the right direction. Christ says, "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." You will enter, says Christ, into your secret room and pray to your Father. This is the rational, the great in the world, that unites all people into one, that considers our desires, our thoughts, our actions, that gives impetus to our growth, that raises the dead human soul. Have you forgotten it? If someone asked who your father was, you would all describe your stepfathers, you would say, "My father has blue eyes, his nose is long, his eyebrows are thick, his beard is black, he is muscular, stern, demanding." Others would describe: "My father is delicate, his mustache is small, his eyebrows are thin, his hair is curly." Everyone will describe their father, but this is the shadow of That Great Father. I will give you a clarification of what this shadow is. If you take a ray of sunlight and pass it through 10 mirrors, according to the law of reflection, what forces will this ray have in its last reflection? Does the sunlight, which is reflected by the moon, have the power to make things grow? It has lost its strength at the first reflection. So, if you want to know God according to the law of reflection, you will only have the light of the moon. You will describe it as poets describe it. You will argue whether God is visible or invisible, infinite or limited, why He created the world, and so on. If I travel on the road and someone asks me why I raise dust, what my intention is, do you think there is any philosophy in this? I do not know why I am raising it. I would say, "Because the weather is dry, my feet get dusty without me thinking." Modern philosophers and thinkers also raise some question. They resemble that Spanish poet who wrote several verses, but one of the verses was so difficult to understand that when they went to him and said, "We cannot understand what you mean", he replied, "I also do not know what I mean." If you ask modern philosophers what they want to say with their profound verses, they will say, "We also do not know." When a student solves an equation, what has he done? When he solves this compound rule - that X is equal to 10, what has he solved? He has solved how much these 10 people will take. If you solve the equation for the workers, they will get something, but if you solve it for school, what will you gain from that? Just an exercise. I do not refuse the exercise, but I want your thoughts to be precise and definite. When we do exercises, we need to know that this is an exercise, not to confuse the exercise with the reality of life that exists. Many people exercise in praying. I do not mind that, but it is not reality, it is preparation for reality. Christ says, "Go into your secret room." What is this room and where is it? Someone will say, "Inside oneself." This room is not located in the body. When someone sees me walking through a door, they will say, "You entered through that door." But when I go in and out, I can be out of this room. I know this room is above, out of the human brain, but when the human Spirit enters, it goes out. Christ says, "Go into this room where there is no noise." But on the Earth, there is noise in whichever room you enter, and where there is noise, there can be no understanding. In this room, all who enter are united, they consider themselves brothers. There are no nationalities, there are not many teachings, there is only one conscious and understood teaching. As in a music room, where it is pleasant when everyone plays, so it is pleasant in this room. Its description is very simple: it is magnificent, bright. If I could translate the words, I would say, "You, as you pray, enter the Divine world, go and be friends with the angels for a while, and you will understand the meaning of life." But anyone who enters this room must take the load off his back, same as a camel. And how difficult it is for us modern people to get rid of our burden. All of you who are listening to me now are loaded like a camel, and I am also loaded as you are. I will teach you how to unload, because if you do not know how to unload, the cameleer will come to unload you and if he likes to drink, you will wait for him for a long time and you will pray to the Lord to come to unload you. The child waits for his mother to teach him how to pray. The religious person will go somewhere, or wait to be taught how to pray. And the disciples of Christ wanted Him to teach them how to pray. Christ translates to them an old formula from the beginning of Genesis: "Our Father". If you were mathematicians to decompose the word "Father" into its absolute values, you would understand the deep meaning behind this word. It is sacred to me and I do not want to decompose it to its absolute values. Why? I will tell you. A beautiful maiden should wear a veil over her face. Why wear a veil? Because if she walks without a veil, she will be defiled. If a beautiful walks in these years without a veil, she is no longer a virgin. All the young men will direct a bad thought at her and she will be seduced. At the very least, she will perceive a thought, and after the perception, even in the smallest amount, she will be defiled. Modern people believe that a person is a criminal when he commits a crime. No, as soon as he thinks of it, he has already committed the crime. But many will argue that a crime is not committed with thought alone. Two old hermit saints argued over this issue that man commits sin only with his thoughts. One of them said: “Let us cook beans, but only put salt in the beans in our thoughts. Will they be salted then?” Indeed, he is right logically. The beans are not salted by the thought. But I say that if the thought is strong, they can be salted. What is salting? This is an illusion of the tongue. Some people put a lot of salt and it is still unsalted for them, and some put a little salt and it is salty for them. How do we judge when beans are salted? If we think that beans are not salted with thought, this feeling is so intense that we cannot feel the salt that was put inside, and we say that thought cannot make the beans salty. I answer, "Leave the first lice in your head, and you will have all the lice, take out all the lice and you will get rid of all the others." One should never allow a bad thought in one's mind. Only then is he human. Christ says: "But you, when you pray..." Prayer, in my opinion, is a sublime work in this world. It is the only work that can be done. I say, "But you, when you pray, go to your Father." We say that the disciple, when learning, should go to his Master, because when the grain of wheat falls and is buried in the ground, it struggles to come out - this is labour, but work means getting rid of these two situations - the law of hardship and the law of labour and to enter into the law - knowing how to pray. Therefore, only the who knows how to pray has understood the deep meaning of earthly life. Or I interpret - the one who knows how to work. Enter this secret room to learn how to pray. Kneeling and folding your arms is not a prayer. And Christ says, "And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." He will teach you to work in His Kingdom. In order for a person to enter the secret room, they must have the character of that mother mentioned in Bulgarian folklore. Her son fell in love with a beautiful girl. At first she avoided him, but then she agreed to marry him, but on the condition that he bring her mother's heart to her. The young lad went, took out his mother's heart and as he was walking, he fell down. Then the heart said, "Oh, son, did you hurt yourself?" Is there such a hero among you? There may be in the future, in thousands of years' time. "Go into your secret room." - The secret room, it is a consequence of getting rid of the bad influences in the world. Do you know how strong human words are? I can ruin your happiness with one word, you know? Words are the most dangerous weapon in the physical realm. That is why Christ says that only when you go to your Father will He teach you how to speak sensibly, because He says in Scripture, "The head of the Word is the Truth." Only then shall we speak well. And in order to find this head, Christ says: "Go into your secret room and pray to your Father." Who is the head of the Truth. Truth is the head of your Word. Then modern occultists say that man will become magnetic. If you come into my inn and I give you enough food, I will have an influence on you. But will food affect you or I will? Some people say, "Let us influence society." The innkeeper says, "I want to influence my customers." I t is possible by preparing healthy food for them, and this food will affect them. Therefore, if you give people the truth, if that truth is food, and if you give them that food, you will influence them. I tis not that you will influence them, but the food that enters them will create that influence. That is why Christ says, "When you pray, go into your secret room to learn this process." You are unhappy, you do not live with your wife, with your children, with society, you cannot find the reason why you are not doing well, you say: "There is a great contradiction in this world." Christ says, "Go to God to teach you what the reason is." But now we, modern people, are innkeepers and we say that food must be cheap, inexpensive in order to make a profit. The innkeeper must earn half of what the food itself costs. And so, if it costs him 50 leva, he will sell it for 100 leva. And as a result, the current greed, the rise in food prices happens. Butter is expensive, cheese is expensive, olives are expensive, wheat is expensive, everything is expensive. They ask now: "What should be done in Bulgaria to eliminate the high prices?" I ask the farmer how much it cost him to produce 1 kg of wheat, how much did he spend? I also ask the trader who produced 1 kg of butter, how much energy did he spend? Now the great law is coming into the world. The Lord will open the great book and question all the merchants, from the greatest to the smallest one. He will tell them, "Take this butter, it is yours, and give it to whomever you want." And He will say about the butchers: “Make them cows now, let those butchers who sell meat come now. You have sold a thousand kilograms of meat and consider it your private property. This meat belongs to which cows? Let these cows come.” And the Lord will gather all these cows and say to them: "Take your meat now, and make these butchers cows and slaughter them now." That is how it will be, you know? There will be no criminal left in this world who does not try what he has done. When you slaughter cows, the Lord will make you a cow, his knife will pass through your neck. You can understand this as you wish. You, who want to get rid of the great wrath of God, go into your secret room and pray to your Father to teach you how to save yourself. "But so-and-so doctor says that." Call this doctor. You, as the translator of this divine book, why did you distort the translation? Now, call so-and-so philosopher. Why did you insert your words into your philosophy, why did you distort the Divine Word? Now you will be judged, as people who sold indulgences were judged. "You will pay a hundred thousand leva, and your sins will be forgiven." There is no such forgiveness. The law reads as follows: "You will pay to the person, whose house you burned." "But I had no intention." I pardon you, but you should pay for my house. If someone repairs a burned house and furnishes it, you will say, "Here is an honest man." Its owner will say, "He burned my house, but made me a better one." And if we want to fix our current life, we must necessarily build the burned houses. This is the great teaching that Christ once preached. And since you do not want to apply this teaching, you are misguided. The present Christian society was based on the same law. And misfortunes will come. Christian nations do not want to live honestly. Mothers will give birth to criminals from now on. When will this society improve? Can you educate a wolf? He is still a wolf. Some say: "Deunov teaches a doctrine against society, for the destruction of society." You have ruined this society, I am not the one who ruins the society. If you do not build your houses, leave the house. You can try my words without me telling you who is to blame, who is telling the truth? I also want to tell you how to build your houses. Christ says that all Bulgarians, from the king to the last pauper, should go into the secret room in order to improve their situation. The farmer should go into this secret room and ask his Father in secret to reward him openly. And then we will have a very reasonable social life. Our common goal is to live in one society, isn't it? Why is a nation created? What is the distinguishing feature of the Englishman? What makes him English? His honesty. Remove his honesty and he is not English. What defines the Russian? His devotion. He may get drunk, he may commit many other crimes, but there is devotion in this man's soul. I can define all nations in one word. I am asking now, what is the distinguishing feature of the Bulgarian? I will not say the bad stuff. This is a great philosophy in life that we need to understand. You think that you can build life in another way? You can do everything, you can build as much as you want, but it is impossible to recreate your life according to these understandings. You may live a hundred thousand years, but you will not fix even a hundred thousandth of it. In a hundred thousand years, you will hardly raise the Bulgarians, who are in such a bad situation, even a hundred millionth fraction towards heaven, so who can save them. If you want to know what God will do with the Bulgarian people, open the history of the Jewish people and you will see what God did. People want to sin and God to be merciful, but the one who does not show mercy, will not be shown mercy to. As you are all so learned, tell me what will happen in the world in 10 years? Ask the scientists in Bulgaria, ask the priests what will happen in 10 years from now? What will be in the 30s of this century? Everyone will say, "It will be just like every century." I say, "It will be something that you have never seen." I do not want to prophesy to you like that Persian hodja who was poor. As he was unable to earn a living, his wife made him become a clairvoyant, to predict the fate of people. And he did predict. He once succeeded and was given a few coins. He started going out every day and became famous. It was rumored that he was a clairvoyant, a seer, and he could reveal secrets. There were major thefts at the Persian Palace and he was called to find the criminals. He said to his wife: "What trouble you have brought to me. It has been very easy so far, but here my head will go if I cannot find them." That is why he asked the Shah for 30 days' time and 30 grains of corn. And he began to repent: "Why did I have to become a prophet, why did I not keep my old craft as a hodja." The robbers who committed the theft sent someone to listen to what the hodja would say. In the evening, at sunset, the hodja threw one grain of corn and said, "Here, one has passed." He implied that one day had passed, but the robber thought it applied to him. The next day the second robber went to eavesdrop, and in the evening the hodja threw a grain and said, "Here, the second one has also passed." The robbers thought he knew them and went to him to beg him not to betray them. This is a coincidence of clairvoyance. Such prophets are present everywhere. When he says 20-30 words, like the hunter who fires a machine gun, something will be hit. He says, "My word has come true." Prophesying is based on a great divine law, in which there is only one percent exception. And the prophet, guided by this Divine law, will have an exception of only one in a hundred. You say, "What will my life be like, what will happen to me?" Christ says, "Go into your secret room to your Father, pray, and He will tell you what will happen to you." When someone says an insulting word to you, if you get angry, do not keep your cool, but you say: "And I am not paying attention to this insulting word", you want to lie to him, as well as lie to yourself. No, cleanse yourself, get rid of these bad feelings and do not hide them. This angry thought, that you keep inside yourself, is not right. "But I did not tell him anything." Does the one who wants to catch the bird say anything to it? He takes the trough, adjusts it well and prowls for the bird. It enters the trough and he carefully closes it, so the bird stays inside under the trough. And he does not say anything to it. But for how long? Until it enters the trough, he waits for an auspicious moment in life and then he will say to it Only in this hidden room, in these deep reflections, in this union and promise given to God, will you find all the clues of earthly life. Christ says, "All the tasks that disturb your mind will be solved in this room." I am asking you, "After you die, what will your daughter say about you?" She will say: "May God forgive my mother, she is gone!" But you died an 80-year-old grandmother, with an old wrinkled face, hunched over, and your daughter will also want to see you like that in the other world. If she meets you in the other world, young, beautiful, she will ask: "Who is my mother?" You will grin at her and tell her, "Your mother is not here, she stayed in the grave and you will not find her, if you look for her being old." So, we should know not what is in front of us, but the soul of man, what is inside him. This is how modern public life should be restructured. When I sell butter to a person, I have to know his soul and not blackmail him, for the sake of God who lives in man. I have to give this man the opportunity to live like me. If I am a teacher or a priest, or an officer, or whatever, I need to know that once I have done my duty, I have to let all the people around me live freely and not blackmail them. You will object to me: "Should we only expect good in this world?" When your leg is sprained and you call a surgeon to fix it, will he speak kind words to you? No, if he comes to fix your leg, it will hurt you. The mother often takes a stick and uses it to smack her child. This is magnetization. By doing so, she gives him grace. A child who has been smacked by his mother is blessed, and a child who has never been smacked by his mother has no blessing. You will say: "Smacking is a contradiction in modern pedagogy and psychology, and everyone is rebelling against it!" Well, but is the place where the water falls, not being hit by it? Do not the sun's rays, falling on the leaves, cause blows? The damage that sunlight causes to the leaves and flowers of plants, in relation to the benefits it causes them, is in the ratio of one to a thousand. To one evil - 1000 good things. So, by doing 1000 good deeds, we have the right to do one evil to salt them (or to strengthen them - it is not clear). Someone says, "We must not do evil, bad things." No, you can, but only after you do 999 good deeds will you do one evil for them to compensate, to be balanced. This evil is the packaging, and everything has to be packed. You have to do evil, so that the good is packaged. Therefore, this world can not do without evil, this is how the world is made. But when a person does 999 evils and only one good, we will say that this person has applied the Divine law upside down. Someone says, "Do I not have the right to get angry?" You have this right, but only when you speak to someone kindly 999 times, dear, you have the right to be rude to them once. Then this person will say to himself: "Well, I also went a little too far, they have the right to be rude to me, I did badly." He will realize his mistake. That is why we must enter this room, it is our great Teacher of our lives. But now they wonder what it means to enter this secret room. I do not clarify this question in depth, but I only draw, I draw one point, I draw one eye, then another point - the other eye, then a line representing the mouth, here is a whole person. Someone drew an ox. Can an ox be drawn on paper? The teacher in elementary school says: "Hey, little Dragan, draw an ox!" Can a whole ox be drawn on paper? The teacher should say: "Hey, little Dragan, draw the shadow of an ox on paper, so that I see how you draw 'shadows'". A child draws the shadow of a donkey, and the mother says, "My child draws a donkey very well." If your child could draw a donkey, it would be a great person, but it does not know how. If I can draw a jackdaw, to give it wings, to make its lungs, its stomach, and make it fly, that is a real jackdaw. And in life today we deal with shadows. Someone says: "I gave 1,000 leva for the poor." Everyone starts talking: "So-and-so gave 1,000 leva for the poor." Another one says: "I gave 10,000 leva for the poor." And they start talking about him. Such is modern charity. It is a good thing, but these are shadows in life, this is not that great, Divine law which should govern life. Which code of the Divine law says that money should be given to poor people? It is written in your law, but not in the Divine one. Isaac says, "Come and buy from me without money and without gold." Therefore, money, gold, is an emblem of true Divine knowledge. To give money to a poor person, that is to teach him to work, to labor. If modern society wants to reform, to get rid of beggars, it must first send them to a school where they toil, then to a school where they labor, and finally they will go to a school where they will work. The new culture is not allowed to have poor people, it is not allowed to have beggars. Poor people - poor in spirit - this is a great thing, but poverty, like the current one, is a crime to exist. God sends billions, billions of tons of wheat to the world, and if people used it wisely, they would live a good life, but with this old culture that they serve, they are abusing it. A hundred years ago in America, when there was a great abundance of wheat, some rich people decided to use the surplus of wheat as fuel, so that it is cheaper than coal for them. When they implemented this plan, there was an immediate wheat crisis in America. Practicality! Now, if someone comes out to tell people that they are not living by the divine law, they will say, "Here is an anarchist." And the one who robs people, he follows the law, he is not an anarchist. An item used to cost 1 lev, but today it is sold for 1,000 leva and everyone says: "Time demands that." One kilogram of butter used to cost 2 leva, today it costs 80 leva. Time demands that! And today we find ourselves in a contradiction. I will liken this situation we are in today to the following case. In the past, the Russian tsar, while spending time in Svishtov, fell ill with a boil. A Bulgarian started treating him and in order to make him an ointment, he bought a tallow candle which cost 25 cents. This candle was supposed to be included in the expenses ledgers, but while it went through all of the ledgers, its price rose to 12,000 rubles. Why was its price increased so much? Because it was necessary for the king. Our candles also have a big price now. The Lord will ask you, "How much did you buy this candle for?" - "For 25 cents." If we increased it one hundred percent, it would still not be the same as we see. That is why some hatred emerges in both the buyer and the seller, some anarchy, which will be expressed in a stronger form in the future. Teachers of mathematics and other subjects must show their students the ways, the rules by which the price of an egg can increase, but not multiply 1000 times, in order to understand the real laws. A historian has no right to exaggerate historical facts when describing them. In this respect, the Bible is an excellent book because it conveys events as they were. How did the Jews describe their best King David? He was described with all his sins. They describe him where, how he manifested himself, as good or bad. It is in this impartiality, in describing the facts of the past, that the value of the Bible lies. The good and bad deeds of everyone in the Old and New Testaments were impartially noted. Rise and fall rest on this law. Bulgarians today are workers in society. They work to get materials for those who govern. Because, how will a person govern if you do not give them materials, conditions? In Bulgaria, whoever becomes a minister, everyone says about him: "He will not put Bulgaria right, he is such and such." They adorn him with bad thoughts. I can point out to you so many cases of Bulgarian ministers who, when they came, they did nothing as expected, because they were greeted with such bad thoughts. If the Bulgarians direct their thoughts towards a minister like this: "This man is good, he will get Bulgaria right and we will give him all our assistance." In this way, they will pass on him the most noble traits. But today, the first thing that happens when someone comes to power is, they get used and then condemned. Acquaintances start going to the Ministry, they want to use the Minister, but he is bored and expels one, another, etc. They come out dissatisfied with him and say to themselves, "I have changed my opinion of him." They complain that he drove them away, there is no nobility in him. But the one, whom the minister receives well, says: "Strange thing, I had a bad opinion of him, but he welcomed me politely, kindly." We are human, we are not angels, we cannot receive all human beings well. A minister, he алсо has his Saturday. Bulgarians say, "I found someone on a blind Saturday." i.e., the Saturday of indisposition. Everyone has a day when things are not going well, be it Monday, Tuesday or any day of the week. And then he says, "Do not touch me on this day." This great law is in all religious societies. I know many Orthodox priests, and now they turn their attention to me and say, "He is such and such." I am not the person they can smear. Why? Because I have been through the fire 10 times and there is nothing people can bribe me with. I can live just the same here with you and with the angels in the Divine world. I have excellent friends among the angels, so even if you drive me away, I will go to them. You will say: "What is Mr. Deunov saying?" Yes, I have angel friends and God Himself is my friend. Why? Because I often go into this secret room and study the great Divine laws. I say, "Father, what can I do in this case, how can I act according to Your law?" Anyone can go through this room. You will say, "He has a very high opinion of himself!" In this regard, I have a high opinion of myself. I never allow myself to offend anyone. When I offend people, I offend myself, when I love people, I love myself. I do this thing for myself, for my own good, not for you. As I love you, I will pass by you, I will throw rain and light on you, and will leave. You will say, "Thank you very much." Not at all, thank yourselves. So does this law of Divine science state. When you learn these rules, you will begin to study philosophy as you study it today. Those who understand, should learn everything, everything is useful to you. I got distracted from my topic, but when I say that God is my friend, do not think that I want to recommend myself to you. I want to tell you that each of you can be a friend of God, but only on one condition. God will ask you: "Do you give up being a minister in Bulgaria?" - "I give up." - "Do you give up being a king?" - "I give up." - "Do you give up being rich?" - "I give up." Do you accept to be a servant of the people and to do them good? ” "I accept." Then God says, "You can be my friend." When I say that I am a friend of God, I do not mean that you have to honor me therewith, because I have long since given up on this kind of thing. On the contrary, this thought expressed by me, will bring me more bad thoughts than good ones. A friend of God is any person who does good, who loves the Truth and whose heart is always warm. Christ said the same thing to the Jews: "Go into the secret chamber and pray there." If those Jews could not understand these words, you, the Jews of 2,000 years ago, must understand this. I am calling you Jews too. Anyone who commits a crime here on Earth, I consider them a Jew. Anyone who does good and speaks the Truth is an Israelite. Anyone who wants to kill their brother is Esau. We modern people need to change our names. That is why the Lord says to Jacob, "From now on, you will be called Israel." Some of you are called Mara and others - Maria. Mara is always bitter, she is in the law of suffering, and she must become Maria. How will you translate Maria? She means salt, she is always salty, and the Divine Maria, she is light, sun. In Greek, light is called phos (φωσ). Christ says, "Go into your secret room, into your inner laboratory, to understand this great law." You can enter this laboratory in 10 years' time, but it is better to enter it now when its windows are open, rather than at a time when they will be closed. Christ says, "If you want to be smart, go into your room and ask your Father what to do." I am not saying that you should not read books, but I am saying that there is one way to know your heavenly Father, and that is "Prayer". Prayer or work is the only way we can get to know our father and talk to Him. If you want to reach God, if you want Him to become your friend, your father, you must necessarily go into your secret room and pray to Him, and He who sees in secret will reward you openly. Do not doubt whether God is there or not, because that will hinder you. If you have no doubt, I will rejoice, because your suffering will end and you will move on to labor. Then you will move on to work and angels will come to teach you, i.e. advanced souls will come to reveal to you the Divine knowledge. But now, when someone meets you, they starts measuring you from top to bottom and say, "I understand him." When you meet the Master who will teach you, He is like pure dewdrops and light. These two qualities are qualities of the Great Teacher. These dewdrops will wash away your dust. I call this Great Teacher "Spirit." He is not something like the wind, as many believe, He is something great. In Bulgarian language, there is no more meaningful, stronger word than "suffering". Likewise, a meaningful and powerful word is "Spirit." When a Bulgarian is told about the Spirit, he imagines something else. For him, this word has lost its true meaning. But when you talk to him about suffering, he has a very clear idea of that word. Bulgarians say: "Man came to this world for suffering." I say that man did not come for suffering, but for the Spirit and today is a Great Day - a day of the Spirit. If today you go into your secret room before the great day, all your angels will rejoice and you will feel the inner meaning that you have been waiting for so many years. Then you will become strong, and when a person becomes strong, he is ready to suffer and struggle together with all who suffer and struggle. He is ready to take a small stick and help turn this wheel together with everyone. Think about this: go into your secret room and work to understand the true meaning of life. Christ, who spoke to the Jews 2,000 years ago, His Spirit is saying the same thing today, “Enter the secret chamber while I am lighting the way, because if I stop lighting the way, you will lose it. Enter while it is day, because if you postpone it for the future, this Spirit will disappear, darkness will come and you will find nothing. If you enter your secret room through this way, you will understand the meaning of prayer, the work of public life, you will find meaning in everything and when you return to Earth, you will know how to work among your loved ones, you will know them. If you lose your way, you will be in the position of those passengers who travel at night, on a gloomy, dark night, in blizzards and storms. What happens to them? They are disoriented in their way. I know that all of you will enter this path, but some of you will enter after being whipped many times. Some will get into this room only by lifting the whip in front of them, without being hit. Others - by being whipped a few times, and still others - only after they get ten thousand whips on their backs. There will be no man who does not get into his secret room, even though after being forced by many whips. In this respect, you will look like that French officer who wanted to oppose a new law recently introduced by the Ministry. However, to make sure that he was strong enough to resist completely, he went to a fellow officer and told him: “Hit me with the flat part of your knife several times, I will tell you how long, when I tell you to stop, you will stop the hits.” The officer started hitting 1,2,3 times and heard his comrade telling him to stop. The hero realized that he would not be able to oppose the non-fulfillment of the new law and decided not to oppose. And now we say, "How shall I pray, I cannot." But when you are whipped a dozen times, you say, "I pray to you, be my brother, do not beat me!" When the child does not listen to his mother, does not want to obey her will, she beats him and he begins to pray, cry and say: "Mom, do not beat me anymore, I will do what you want!" So far, everyone has been preaching that God is Love, but what beautiful whips He has, how firmly He strikes us! The Lord beats His beloved son first. They say to Him, "This is Your beloved Son." - "Whip him 50 times!" "And this one is somewhat of a vagabond." - "Whip him 50 times." - "And this third one is a scallywag." - "Do nothing to him, do not whip him one single time!" What do you say to that? You, good people, will also get a whip from the Lord. It will layer you well, it will magnetize you so that your soul becomes magnetic. God has such a hand that when He magnetizes you once, you become a man and a half. He may only push you with a finger and you become a man. Blessed is the man whom God has magnetized. That is why the greatest saints have waited 25 years to gain the privilege of being beaten by the Lord and go into this secret room. Only then did they feel that they had passed into a new phase of their lives and understood the meaning of life as it was then, not as it is now. These saints also live now, they work and they are people's teachers. Now some may say that I am talking about rebirth. Strange thing! If a twig grows on a tree, is it rebirth or growth? If you break off this twig and another one grows in its place, is this rebirth or growth? The spirit can take thousands of forms. He can dress the way we want. It is said that no one can command a Spirit, He can dress as He wills and as many times as He wills. He can come down to Earth as many times as He wants. You say, "No, once a man gets dressed, he cannot do that any more." I am asking you, "Well, how many times a day do you get dressed and undressed?" This is not a rebirth, but a law of the Spirit for the processing of matter, as the Egyptians call this in a philosophical sense. In order for matter to be processed, it has to pass into the power of the Spirit. Therefore, through the coming of the Spirit, matter is processed, which shows that it is alive, it works. When the Spirit descends into matter, He says to her, "I am a little impatient, you will excuse me." She replies, "Not at all, do as you know and I will do what I want." You are often angry too, but there is nothing wrong with that, anger comes from matter. As you go into your room, you will understand the deep meaning that God has put into your life, you will understand why your father created the world, what your purpose is, and what you must do in this life. What are the Bulgarians? A small branch of this great Divine tree. What are you? - Small leaves, small twigs, small roots. Some are small flowers, just now budding, and others small fibers, etc. Christ says, "When you go into this room, you will understand the meaning of this great Divine tree, from which the first man ate and sinned." All right. Eve did not know from which tree to eat. I am telling you which one to eat from. Now you are in front of heaven, you will enter there and the Lord is telling you which tree you should eat from. This tree is the new teaching, in new phases. Christ says to you, “Go and preach the new teaching. I will be with you even to the end of the age." And now they say that Christ was in heaven. No, He is here, He is working with you here. It is said, "When the Son of man comes, will he find faith?" i.e. when this age is over, will there be faith? This is how these words should be understood. Keep this secret room in your mind in order to find your father. Do not condemn me, do not say that Mr. Deunov came to preach for some sect, to ruin the Bulgarian people. I just want you to find your father. If you do His will, you will mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends of mine. If you do not do His will, you mean nothing to me. I am not talking behind the scenes, I am telling the truth straight in the eyes. Do not think that I have such and such intention. I intend for you to do everything as Christ taught. I speak to you of this Christ, Who will be with you until the end of the age. Go, live and preach this teaching. Someone comes and tells me that he saw this from above, he saw that, he was told that, and so on. I do not see anything from above - I see the world differently. And now many clairvoyants are meeting up. Someone comes and says that he saw God - the Father with a crown on his head, as He is painted in the churches. What you see in icons and in churches is not God. Some years ago I passed through Anchialos (a Bulgarian town, now known as Pomorie) and a gentleman showed me one of his presents. They had given him the image of Christ with a broad head and a low forehead. I say, "Whoever painted this image of Christ, was a criminal." This artist had no idea of art. He painted an outlaw and said it was Christ. The features of Christ, of God, are not as we find them painted in the churches. God, Christ cannot be painted. He does not live in the churches, but only in human minds, hearts and nowhere else. Whoever says that God lives in churches made of stone, is not telling the truth. I do not want to be dishonest, to say what is not true. God is a great principle of knowledge, Truth, Wisdom and Love. He wants to introduce us to every twig, leaf, flower, stone and show us what this world is like. God wants to teach us to understand our younger brothers and thank them for everything they do for us. When you ride a horse, say to it, "Thank you, brother, for putting up with me a little, I am weaker than you," and stroke him. When you milk a cow, give it a kiss and a gratitude. You will say to it, "Sister, thank you for giving me some of your milk, excuse me, if I have taken more." This is the deep meaning of Christ's teaching, and we will achieve it by frequently entering our secret room. We must do this so that all the animals around us can feel that we are created in the image and likeness and know God, our Father in heaven.

  6. Готов превод Аз съм жив - 22.2.1920-НБ-272 / .: 22.2.1920-НБ-272 I Am Alive "And behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of death." (Revelation 1:18) I will tell you an anecdote from the life of ants. Ant culture represents one of the great epochs in the history of nature. As a symbol, the ant represents human selfishness. In the past, ants were at the height of their development. They were famous for their scientific discoveries, for understanding the secrets of nature, for their well-organized society. They were governed by a senate or people's representatives. One day, unfortunately for them, they were surprised by the appearance of an anteater. It pointed his long tongue at their assembly and, to everyone's horror, their ministers, MPs and many high-ranking officials stuck to it. With a mere pointing of its tongue, it swallowed them and left. Their prominent philosophers began to think about this special phenomenon, looking for the cause. They wondered how it was possible for a large assembly to stick to an anteater's tongue and disappear. Some of them said: We saw that something black was stretching at the National Assembly, and all the ministers and deputies from our world got stuck and at one point disappeared somewhere in space. Just as the magnet attracts iron shavings, so the anteater attracted these people and devoured them. To this day, this issue has not been resolved. To this day, ant philosophers wonder where the ministers and MPs went. I say: They went into the anteater's stomach. Culture! I am asking: What is the purpose of earthly life? What is the purpose of our culture? You will say that the purpose of culture is to create a state, family, science, religion. If, indeed, this is the purpose of culture and of our earthly life, why not create such a religion and science that unites all people? If religion is a great science or a great teaching, it should be applicable to all rational beings. There are no two opinions in this. Therefore, its forms, whatever they may be, must be equally accessible to all. I see religion neither as modern philosophers, nor as modern scholastics, nor as modern preachers do. I do not consider myself a preacher, a scholastic, or a philosopher, but a simple interlocutor. When the factory makes beautiful bottles, what is their purpose? The purpose of the bottle is, first, to be filled with clean, fresh water, so that when you travel, you have something to cool your throat. Its second purpose is to be filled with fresh milk, so that when you drink from it, it supports your strength. Its third purpose is to be filled with old, six-year-old wine, so that you drink and, when your head gets dizzy, you shout: Long live Bulgaria! It is not the wine's fault that a person's head gets dizzy. Everyone should drink so much that his head will not get dizzy. If you cannot tolerate a glass of wine, drink a coffee cupful. - Should I drink wine? - I do not recommend absolute abstinence. I also do not recommend absolute morality. - Why? - If I recommend absolute abstinence to people, it will turn out that I do not believe in their strength to control themselves. If I recommend absolute morality to them, it will turn out that I consider them immoral. If I teach you something, it turns out that you are stupid, that you know nothing. I only discuss certain issues before you, as they are in rational nature. What does science represent for us? Science, knowledge is light in our lives. The light shows that we are neither smart nor stupid, but we are constantly evolving beings. The words "smart and stupid" are relative concepts. You are a cultured person, but a new culture with a greater light than yours comes. In that case, you are considered stupid. When the new culture takes over, the beings who live in it are considered smart. The creatures of the old culture are considered stupid. And vice versa: if the old culture has supremacy over the new one, the beings of the old culture are considered smart, and those of the new culture are considered stupid. What is the measure of today's people whether one is smart or stupid? - If you have money, you are smart; if you have no money, you are stupid. Christ says, "Behold, I live; I am alive." The word "alive" does not mean what you mean by the concept of being alive. If a man, listening to me, distorts my words and attacks me, he is dead, he is not alive. If I did the same, would also be dead. When I meet people who speak, write, study, I wonder: What motivates them to do this. If someone loves you, ask yourselves what is the reason for that. Christ says, "I am alive." Only he is alive who can come into contact with all living beings, understand their condition, know their good and bad traits, and assist in their development. If a preacher comes, he will say that God is angry with sinners and He punishes them. Do not attribute to God qualities that He does not possess. Do not put words into God's mouth that He has never said. Externally, no one has heard the voice of God. People themselves speak in the name of God, as they like. The weak one says: This is what Christ said. This is what God said. - You are saying that, not God. Everyone speaks in the name of God, what is in their own interest. Today, many religious, sectarian, orthodox believers read the Gospel and extract only the verses that they like, and begin to enlighten people. They think of themselves as righteous and the others - as great sinners. I say: Friends, you are all right, but your bottles are so small that they cannot collect even a hundred millionth part of the water of truth. I am not saying you have not taken the truth from the water, but it is not all of it. If you keep this water in your small bottles for two or three months, it will evaporate or go bad. This water should be refreshed, it has to be fresh every day. Observe what I do. Every day I open the great book of life and read. Whatever I read, I pass it on to others. This book is the real original. What is written in it is different from what people read and know. Modern people read from the translations of this great book, which are far from the truth. The task of future culture is to reveal the truth in a simple, clear and applicable form. To be applicable means for it to blossom, to set, to bear fruit, and everyone to taste its fruit. The fruit of truth is the one that Christ expresses through the verse, "I am alive." When we taste this fruit, we will all be alive. If someone comes to argue with me, I will ask him: Will you die? - I will die. - Then you cannot argue with me. It is enough for me to prick you with the tip of my packing needle somewhere on your body, that you lose your mind and stop philosophizing. You will begin to convulse, raise and lower your arms and legs. If a small prick produces such a change in your mind, what would happen to you in a major concussion? Where is your philosophy? How do you have the right to judge people, who is right and who is wrong? The one who moves along the diameter of the circle is right; the one who moves along the circumference itself is wrong. Is there anything bad with people who are wrong? Right and wrong people are two opposites that turn the wheel of life. Try to remove the circumference of the wheel and see what happens. It is enough to ride in such a car for half a kilometer, for you to say: I leave everything, but I cannot ride in such a car. This is the wrong in the world. Put a diameter on the wrong, and it will become right. They say someone is right. I say: Put a curved line around him. So the wrong one needs a diameter and the right one needs a circumference. This is a philosophical definition of things. Knowing this philosophy, I can tell you what you are missing. If the woman in a house is right, I will tell you to put a curved line around her. If the daughter is right, she also needs a curved line. Then I will put one axle on these wheels and harness them to work. Only in this way will peace and love come among people. What is happening today? The diameter goes to one place, the circle to another, and they begin to philosophize. Some consider themselves orthodox and others - heretics. However, neither one nor the other does any important work. It is not a question of who is wrong and who is right. This is nonsense. It is important for everyone to ask themselves why the world was created and what one has to do at any given time. - What should we do and how to do our jobs? - In order to do some job, one right and one wrong person should come together. You say: How shall we get rid of evil? This is a wrong thought. Once you have eaten the forbidden fruit, you cannot be free from either good or evil. The principle of good and evil is hidden in the forbidden fruit. Every day you eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and you want to be free from evil. It is impossible. Whoever enjoys the fruit of the forbidden tree will be right and wrong, good and bad. What would you object to that? You will ask why Eve ate this fruit. Eve was smart and valiant. She decided to eat the forbidden fruit and endured the consequences without fear. Eva's daughters nowadays are extremely cowardly. They do not have the courage and fearlessness of their mother. It is enough to prick them with the tip of a packing needle, so that they shout to God. In the last talk, I spoke on behalf of nature. Those who were listening to me but did not understand, said that I was talking about myself. If you go to a fountain that flows wildly and can be heard far away, what is the reason for this: the fountain or the water? - The water, of course. So, in order to be right, I should say that like the Orthodox Church there is no other, like the Orthodox priests there are no others; or that evangelicals are the best people in the world. There are no others like them, selfless, honest. They work only for God, they give everything for free. If I talk like that, both Orthodox and Evangelicals will be pleased with me, they will say that I am a good person, that everyone should listen to me. There are Sabbatarians, and I also have to speak well of them, to say that they are on the right path, that everyone, like them, should observe the Sabbath. They are selfless workers for God's Word. And they will also say that there is no better person in the world than me. We must all honor him. He speaks the truth, so we must all listen to him. I am really right in relation to them, but I am not right in relation to the truth. What I say about the Orthodox is not right, because even today they eat the forbidden fruit. What I say about evangelicals is not right, because they are also eating the forbidden fruit. What I am saying about the Sabbatarians is not right, because they are also eating the forbidden fruit. Whichever church you go to today, you have to stay at least two meters away from their circle, because there is kicking nearby. This is not an insult or a reproach, but I am raising the issue as it is in reality. Starting from the great truth, I say: Only one Gospel exists. Only one Orthodox Church exists. Only one Sabbath exists - the Sabbath of good in the world. May your heart be obsessed every day with the desire to celebrate the Sabbath, as the Sabbath of good in the world. Christ says, "I have the keys of Hades and of death." I wonder about the current orthodox and religious people who are afraid of me. Why are they afraid? I have no power, nor money, nor many followers. I understand why they are afraid. When I illuminate the face of a great criminal or robber, he immediately pulls out his revolver and fires. He says: Sir, do not shed light on me. Light up the way you walk. - I am sorry, I did not mean to illuminate you, but because you got in my way, my light illuminated you. I am making way for you to pass, but if you do not want to, I will turn my flashlight a little aside. There is no need for people to be afraid of me. They must be afraid of something else: death is terrible, hell is terrible. Preachers tell people about some other hell, far away from them. In my opinion, the hell of modern people is terrible. A little angel lived in heaven happily and blissfully. As he attended the heavenly school, he heard talk of a new world, the earth. One day he said to a great angel: Please, can you do me a big favor? Since I hear people talking about the earth and its inhabitants, I am asking you to take me there to see what the new people represent. The great angel satisfied the little angel's wish, put him on his wings and descended to earth together. After spending several days among people, the little angel asked the great angel: Why did you bring me to hell? I asked you to take me among people, to see how they live. - These are the people, this is the life of all mankind. Indeed, there is no greater hell than the one on earth. For two thousand years, theologians and preachers have been talking about some kind of hell, but far away. It is said that sinners were tied there with some hot iron chains. No matter what scary pictures they present, people are still not afraid. Hell is something else, not what preachers say. You should be grateful that your hearts have hardened a little, so you do not feel the great suffering of people. What suffering there is in the world! They namely destroy human life. - When will this destruction stop? - When suffering is removed. There is torture and suffering that must definitely be eliminated. However, there is torture and suffering that needs to remain. They are the natural sufferings that come from the Spirit. They incite people to do good. When I study, I go through suffering and torment that I enjoy. I acquire something from them. When someone pricks a packing needle in my hand, that suffering is meaningless. When I get burned at the stake, this suffering is also meaningless. What do they want from me? Money. I will anyway give as much as they want, without getting burned. A Turk named Hassan worked in a Turkish coffee shop. At one point, a Turkish lord entered the coffee shop carrying a bag of Turkish coins. The lord sat at one of the tables and put the bag close to him. Hassan glanced at the bag, noticed where the lord had left it, and said to himself: Ah, if I had this bag, I would be a different person! Seeing that the lord was distracted, Hassan took the bag and hid it somewhere. Then he returned to the coffee shop and continued his work. The lord noticed that his money was missing, and caused alarm throughout the coffee shop. They started looking for the thief, and the suspicion fell on Hassan. They caught him and started beating him. He was frightened and said: For goodness' sake, effendi, I will say where I hid the money. However, they beat him well and told him: Do not do such things a second time. Then other rich people came to the coffee shop, with their bags full, but Hassan looked away, he was not interested in money. The reason for your suffering is the same. Everyone thinks that the gold in the world is for them. No, the gold is on the lord. When you take the lord's bag, death will catch you and you will pay with your life. Christ says, "I have the keys of Hades and of death." This, in fact, is the new teaching, to understand the laws of hell and death. In other words, to understand the laws that govern the forces in your body, to live as long as you want, and not for people to force you to leave your body. The purpose of Christ's teaching is to acquire immortality. Anyone who believes in God can be immortal. This means for one to be saved. It is not the matter of salvation. It is only one moment in human life; development is another moment, but immortality implies having the keys of Hades and death. That means to say, "I am alive." The living Lord will be a witness to your every action. Knowing this, you will be careful about your actions. Let every action of yours be right, because you are before the face of God, in Whom you live. - How shall we change our lives? How shall we improve our situation? - A person can change his life and improve his situation at some point. You can get rid of all your shortcomings at some point. It is enough to say like Christ: "I did not come to do my will, but the will of the One who sent me." Let everyone say to themselves: “I did not come to fulfill the will of Ivan, of Dragan; I came to do the will of the One, Who sent me." Ivan, Dragan, Stoyan are your brothers, there is no need to do their will. You will do the will of the One, Who gave you life. When you decide to serve God, you will notice above your eyes, at an angle of 45°, a constant light which either increases, or decreases. It will depend on your faith. As long as this light is in front of you, nothing can attack you - you will always be alive. This light comes from the Source of life. Everyone can have this spiritual experience, however, it refers to the one who has prepared himself internally. It is a law: In order to connect with the living forces of nature, the cells in your brain must be prepared to endure. If they are not ready, you will look like the man who gets drunk from two glasses of wine. Two Turkish women went to a rich Bulgarian lady and started talking. The lady treated them with a glass of new wine. As they were not accustomed to drinking, the Turkish women felt that the wine was beginning to affect them. They cheered up and started singing. The lady gave them another glass of wine. They drank it too and started singing and dancing. It is said that religious people get confused. There is something true in this. They have difficulty withstanding the spiritual forces working in them. I also say that the new teaching changes people, makes them alive, energetic, happy. Anyone who does not know the reason for this says that they drank new wine. Others say they are missing something. After 24 hours, they return to their normal state. The spiritual world is great, but it needs prepared people who can cope with the rapid changes in life. For example, you are in the physical world illuminated by the sun. Suddenly the light is lost, and you fall into complete darkness. If you are not afraid, after a while you will see a dim light, which will gradually increase. You will begin to discern another world in front of you, similar to the physical one, with fields, forests, and mountains similar to the ones you know. Everywhere you will see light softer than the sun. This can last for two, three minutes and then you will come back to your original state. What will you say about this? You will say it is imagination. How about an astronomer who sees things through his telescope that are invisible to the naked eye? Is this also imagination? Which of the two is imagination? Both things are real. You open and close your eyes and say you see different things. This is an illusion. You can see well with the naked eye at a distance of about 100-200 meters. At a distance of one kilometer, you can hardly distinguish objects. So, there is a certain limit to physical vision. Outside this limit, objects are blurred. This is not a vision. However, if you point your inner telescope, you see things that you cannot see with the strongest telescope on earth. What does the spiritual world represent? Externally, it cannot be described in words. In order to understand it, you must enter it. This is not a privilege for just one person. This world is accessible to anyone who is prepared to enter there. Do you think that the ant that crawls on your head, on your body and enters different societies can learn everything that happens there? Does it understand what people think and say? It does not understand anything. As is the ant's understanding of your world, so is your understanding of the spiritual world. If I told you that I saw this and that, what would you object to me? Since you do not see the same, you will say: You see as much as we do. From your point of view, you are right, but I am also right. I see more than you, but I cannot prove it at the moment. And I do not have to prove it to you. How will you benefit from my proof? I do not want to make you adepts. Why then do I speak to you about God, about the invisible world? Because it is good for me and for you. I say: Free yourself from all mental prejudices, from all bad feelings, so that you can be free to enjoy the Divine light, God's Truth and Love, which bring life and freedom to the human soul. Christ says, "I am alive." And you, as Christians, can confirm this. Can you not say that Christ lives in you? If you have not met Christ at least once in the last two thousand years, how will you justify yourselves? Christ is the living light that illuminates everything in the world, inside and out. Have you not seen this light? All the changes that are happening today in the outside world, as well as in yourselves, are happening in the spiritual world as well. Every change in the spiritual world also produces a change in the physical world. When there are elections in heaven, there are elections on earth. The only difference is that if there is one election in heaven, there are ten on earth; if there are ten elections in heaven, there is one on earth. When there are ten wars in heaven, there is one war on earth. And vice versa: when there is one war in heaven, there are ten wars on earth. There is birth and death in heaven too. How would you explain these things? This is the teaching of Christ. He says, "Unless you are born of water and the Spirit." Water is an emblem of the spiritual world. So, if you are not born in the other world, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. This implies spiritual rebirth, not birth on earth. It is said, "Unless you are born again." One must be born spiritually, of water and the Spirit. At each birth, man is given the conditions to attain the Divine knowledge necessary for the construction of human life. By studying music, one makes an effort to achieve something, to acquire more knowledge. Having studied an exercise in the first position, he gradually moves to the second, third, fourth position. What will the mother say to her child, who plays the same song for hours, always in the first position? The mother will get bored and say: That is enough! My head exploded from your playing! He can play "Sweet flower, beautiful flower", but in different positions. And today's people play "Sweet flower, beautiful flower", only in the first position, and talk about religion, science. They say: We believe in God, we read the Gospel. They ask each other which of them is Orthodox, which one is an evangelist, whether they understand the Gospel, etc. These are the religious people of "Sweet flower, beautiful flower" who play only in the first position. It is a different matter to play in all positions. I say to such a religious person: Play more. A religious person meets you and says that he is Orthodox, believes in Christ, reads the Gospel, knows the symbol of faith, but when you go to buy some butter from him, he will sell it to you at the highest price. You meet another one who recommends himself as a Sabbatarian; he says he respects the Sabbath, and it is exactly on this day that he will lend you money at a high interest rate. If you cannot pay your debt on time, he will sue you, will take your house. This is neither Orthodoxy, nor Evangelism, nor Sabbatarianism. Now I say to all men and women: Apply the teachings of Christ in your homes. Today, every home has its own religion. In this situation, no one can be resurrected. Whoever wants to be resurrected, must accept the teachings of Christ. Now I want you to test me to what extent I apply the teachings of Christ; and I want to test you. I do not want you to believe in me, but to believe in your soul and in your spirit. You are not yet living for your soul. How many times have you harnessed her to things that are not in her nature. You meet someone, you say a few insulting words. This is how you offend your soul. It is not allowed for souls to be offended. We must be gentle, delicate, as God is to us. When you read the whole chapter of Revelation, you see that there is talk of seven lamps. These are seven spirits. Everyone must carry these seven lamps in themselves. They can express themselves through anyone and help humanity. These spirits can speak through one of the evangelists - Matthew, Luke, Mark and John; they can be expressed through a scientist or a philosopher. It is important to tell the truth. Whoever speaks the truth is a true man, he is one with God. If a child speaks the truth, I would listen to him, as well as the adult man. John says that when he saw everything that was revealed to him, he fell to the ground. This shows that earthly life cannot withstand the vibrations of pure and sublime spiritual life. Christ had to appear, lay His hand on him, lift him up from the earth, and say to him, "Fear not, I am alive." Everyone must fall to the ground as if dead, to go through what John experienced. Until you fall dead like John, until your personal self, that is your ego, dies, you can never say like Christ, "I am alive." Everything personal, all selfishness must fall dead to the ground, not to disappear, but to obey the Divine, to be harnessed like an ox, in order to serve for the development of future culture. We have served selfishness for eight thousand years - it has reigned long enough. Now we have to change it. We quarrel with the whole world only because of selfishness. Men and women, boyfriends and girlfriends, sons and daughters, all quarrel over the ego in themselves. Someone says something bad about your wife, and you immediately quarrel with him. - Why do you quarrel? - I have honor, I have dignity. My dignity lies in what I do for my soul; my dignity lies in the truth that I serve; my dignity lies in the love that I carry in my soul; my dignity lies in the life that is given to me and to all people. How do I look at people in the world? As conditions under which I can get rid of evil and impurities in life. Just as impurity is extracted from us through money, so our impurities are extracted through certain human manifestations. For example, I meet a man, I scold him, say a few insulting words, but he looks at me meekly and leaves quiet and calm. I thank him because he caused me to throw away something unclean. Sometimes a human thought can renew and uplift us. Knowing this, you need to understand the meaning and purpose of human societies. Just as the windows of houses are needed to ventilate the air, so societies aim to protect people from suffocation. The more windows a house has, the better. So when someone pricks me in the arm with a packing needle, I keep quiet, I do not say anything. I feel the pain, I feel it very deeply, but I say to myself: This is God's law, I will endure everything with love. They endured it for me, and I will endure it for others. This is a test for every Christian. When they try their brother's sting, the living Christ tells you, "Do not be afraid, you need this poison. I will show you the truth. God also does the same in my lab.” What do I do in my lab? Today I get stung by someone. I take the poison from his sting, I put it in a medicine vial and write down what the poison is and what it is used for. The next day I get stung by another. I put the poison in a vial again. So I collect all the poisons for various diseases. I write on one bottle: I bought this poison from Ivan Draganov. It works well against a certain disease. I write on another bottle: Poison from Petko Stoyanov's pharmacy. It is expensive, but it works great as a medicine. When you do not understand this science, you are angry and say: I do not need this poison. Christ says, "I have the keys of death," He speaks namely of the poison that causes death. Not knowing how to extract the healing power of this poison, you kill yourselves. Someone meets you, injects you with some of his poison; another one meets you, also brings some of his poison into your body, and you say: There is nothing to do, I will die. When you decide to die, they call a priest to hear your confession. You say that you have done this and that, and when you make a confession, you leave for the other world. Everyone says: The man has gone to the Kingdom of God. This is deception. There is no need to deceive with confessions, but the priest has to remove all the poison from his soul. That is, to tell him the truth. These are our languages! These are our packing needles! There is no more dangerous packing needle than the tongue. I have tried your packing needles. When someone looks at me, their eyes light up. He wants to say: Do you know what I can do to you? - I know, you are going to prick me with a packing needle. - So far I have stuck it two centimeters in, now I will stick it three centimeters. - I know you have decided to release your poison properly. I say: There is no need to light up our eyes. There is no need to stick our packing needles. Let us use our packing needles for other things. One day I will do an experiment with my packing needle. I will call a few sick neurasthenics, weak-chested, and stick my packing needle into them, for you to see what happens. Within an hour, they will recover. Why would I do this experiment? To show the power and possibility of the great law of God; to show that there is no change or betrayal in God. I will experiment with those who are hesitant, whose faith is weak, and who are constantly wondering what will happen to them. Nothing bad will happen to them. They will become real people, in the full sense of the word. What do I want to tell you by raising my hands? The two hands raised show the two seeds planted in the ground. Eternal life comes out of them. The two seeds, grown in the name of God's Love and God's Wisdom, come from two great principles: the principle of hell and death, and the principle of life. That is why Christ says, "I have the keys of Hades and of death." The poison of hell and death will be taken away by the light of life, and only that which brings eternal life will remain. Today all people seek Christ in this or that church. All preachers argue among themselves which church Christ is in or which church will save mankind. They are afraid that I may take the place of Christ. I never thought of such a thing. They should not be afraid of this. Neither I nor they can take this place. Who is Christ? The one who has suffered for all mankind. Anyone who has not suffered for humanity, cannot be Christ. Whoever wants to be like Christ, let them endure His torment and suffering. If anyone can suffer like Christ, I will be the first to recognize him as equal to Christ. When a young man wants to take a beautiful girl, he says: If you take me, you will be happy with me. I am a strong man. The girl says to her mother: I have found my chosen one. I am ready to go with him. The parents agree, they put a wreath on them. Two years later, she returns to her parents and says to her mother: Mom, my savior did not come out as he pretended to be. He tortures me, beats me, my back is bruised from that beating. The mother says: Do not despair. He is not the only one like that. The world is full of such saviors - you will find them everywhere, in every church, in every society, in every home. The teaching of these saviors is false. Whoever loves his beloved, keeps her as the apple of his eye. All people throw dust on Christ - their beloved, but He stands and watches, says nothing. I have seen Christ, I know Him well, I have talked to Him. I have not encountered a better teaching than Christ's, nor a language better than His; This teaching covers everything within its limits. This teaching gives impetus to modern society, modern science and state. The great unrest in the world is due to the great Spirit of Christ, Who works in the depths of all mankind, as well as in the depths of the earth. Everything unclean, that lurks in the ground, is thrown out like a boil. It will not be ten years before everything is cleared. Until then, humanity will go through such a sweat that it never thought possible. At least three times will they sweat, change clothes and refresh themselves. All the false teachings, in which human souls are immersed, will come out of the interior of their body to the periphery in the form of sweat and will relieve them. To get rid of your delusions means to get out of hell. Christ unlocked hell and threw death out, saying, "I am alive." The new life brings death out of hell and enters our souls. Now, put your faith into life and know that there is no more powerful, greater power than the Spirit. I know that there is no more powerful force than the Spirit of God. Life is simultaneously weak and strong like water. All changes outside of us are due to water; all changes within us are due to life. Therefore, if you use life wisely, you will have good results. In order to understand the deep meaning of life, free yourself from the thought that you are sinful and that God does not love you; give up the translations of all the authors and turn to the Lord. He holds the keys to hell and death. He watches so that death does not take over life and destroy everything in the world. Death inevitably exists. We accept it voluntarily. - Until when are we going to die? - As long as you are eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. - Which is this fruit? - It is the fruit of ant culture. Not knowing life, many think that if they have lived well on earth, they will live well in heaven. This is what ordinary people, scientists and philosophers think. A priest said to his wife: You know, woman, I think I will also be fine in the other world. I have lived well on earth so far, satisfied with everything. I took first place here, and first place awaits me in heaven too. One day the end of his life came, and he died. His wife cried a little for him, but calmed down with the thought that he was fine in the other world. She also died ten years later. The first thing she did in the other world was to look for her husband. She went straight to heaven. Here she looked, there she looked, nowhere did she see him. - Who are you looking for? - some in heaven asked her. - Father priest. - He is not here. There are other places, you should find him somewhere. She finally reached hell. She went in there and, to her surprise, saw the priest. - What happened to find you here? - Oh dear, I thought wrongly. But my situation is not so terrible. I am on the shoulders of Father bishop. I say: Do not be surprised that many Orthodox and evangelicals will find themselves with Father priest. You will say that there is something comforting. - What is comforting? - That they will be on the bishop's shoulders. - No matter how you console yourselves, it does not help. The Orthodox have less knowledge than the evangelicals, but they are more sincere, more candid than them. From too much philosophizing, some evangelicals have come to distorting the truth. They comment on the verses in the Gospel until they distort them. Distortion takes man away from the truth. Anyone can distort. It is enough to stab you with my packing needle, so that you turn around and forget arguing. One man often criticized the devil and spoke ill of his deeds. The devil told him several times: Listen, do not bother with me. I am appointed to this ministry by the Lord. Only He has the right to judge me. I am the master of the world. If you do not stop insulting me, I will teach you a lesson, so that you understand who I am. The blasphemer did not stop speaking ill of the devil. One day the latter turned into a beautiful donkey that went to the market. This man went to the market to buy something. His gaze settled on the donkey and he wanted to buy it. It turned out that the price of the donkey was not high, just within his budget. He bargained with the seller and happily returned home. The next day he took the donkey to the fountain to give water to it. The fountain had two large taps. The donkey immediately slipped through one of the taps and began to show its ears from both taps. The master stood in front of the fountain, seeing the donkey's ears, but he did not know how to get it out. At that time a peasant came to drink water from the fountain. He said to him: My friend, help me to take out the donkey that has entered the tap of the fountain. - Where is it? - Here, its ears are visible. The peasant looked at the basin, but saw nothing. He was angry that he was being made fun of, and he beat up the master of the donkey. He stood for a while and saw the donkey move its ears. Another man came and told him the same thing, that his donkey had entered the tap. This man also did not see the donkey, and he beat him. Then many people came to the fountain, but he was already silent. The donkey moved its ears again, but he told him: I see you, but I no longer dare to ask people for help. I do not want to be beaten a third time. I am asking: What is the point of telling people that your donkey has hidden in the dustbin and is moving its ears? Whoever you tell, a fight awaits you. All the false teachings, all the delusions in the world are like the beautiful donkey that will one day enter the tap of the fountain and become the reason for you to be beaten. They will beat you without you knowing why. You say: I want the donkey out. - You want to, but it does not go out. Hold on to what Christ says, "I am alive." Can the modern Church of Christ say, "The One we believe in, is alive. He has the keys of Hades and of death.” The question is whether Christians should be divided into Orthodox, Evangelicals, Catholics, Sabbatarians. It is important to answer the question of whether Christ, in whom you believe, is alive and lives in you. If he is alive, how do you interpret the Revelation that you are reading? Many read Revelation and make their own interpretations. There is talk of a beast with four horns, of seven lamps, of some trumpets. Whatever interpretations are given, everything remains as it really is. The seven lamps are seven lights through which our minds can be enlightened. The seven stars are the guiding teachings in man himself. They are the forces which the human spirit uses to understand the deep secrets of nature. The trumpet, which the archangel Michael blew, is the human ear, given by God. One must perceive with it the sounds of the outside world and understand whether they are for battle or for peace. With this ear, he must listen to the voice of the new teaching and know whether it is right or wrong. The trumpet also symbolizes the human mouth. Is there a bigger trumpet than a man's mouth? It is said that an angel trumpeted with great power. The day will come when the minds of all people will trumpet in one accord, they will unite in one mind. Archangel Michael represents the truth that will trumpet through the human mouth. This angel will speak through the mouths of all people. The rational Word of God will be heard everywhere. It is also said in Revelation that three frogs came out of the sea. The sea represents the world. According to some, frogs represent spiritism, which is seen as something dangerous that destroys. Spiritism has existed for 45 years. Who had destroyed before that? Spiritism corrupts people. Who corrupted them before that? There is no logic in this. Who corrupts the human mind? - Nobody corrupts it: neither Orthodoxy, nor evangelism, nor Catholicism. You will say that Christianity corrupts the world. That is not the way to talk. Christianity, like other philosophical teachings, can become a source of certain delusions, but it can never corrupt humanity. A packing needle can bring certain microbes into your bloodstream and infect you, but it cannot poison you in any way. If you do not have poison in you, no one can poison you from the outside. Christ says, "I am alive." You, who listen to me, do not believe that Christ is alive. If I tell you that Christ is here among you, what will you answer? Christ is here, not as a physical person, but as a spiritual, invisible being. Although invisible, this Christ is more real than all of you who are present here. Now you, who are listening to me, have a certain disposition and feeling towards me. Years later, however, you may forget me. Human feelings are transient. Christ does not forget anyone. There was no time in the history and life of the cosmos when Christ forgot someone. This distinguishes Him from all living beings. This is the living, great Christ, Who manifests Himself today to the whole white race. He means all who suffer, the oppressed, the wronged ones. Preachers, priests must accept His teaching and apply it. If they do not, they are accountable to all of humanity. They will excuse me, I am not speaking against them. From what I am telling them, they will be better than they are now. I did them a small favor, taking some of the poison from their blood. In the future, I will make sure that every packing needle that you use does not inject poison, but removes the poison from your blood. When I say "I", I speak in your language; in fact, I mean the living Christ. He says, “I will remove the poison from the tongues of all rulers, of all preachers, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. There will be no living creature left with poison on the tip of their tongue.” This is how the living Christ speaks! In the future, when we meet, we will greet each other without poison. Christ is coming to earth and will reign for thousands of years. Then we will meet and greet each other with a holy kiss. And in thousands of years, I will give everyone a kiss.

  7. Готов превод Що казва Духът - 29.2.1920-НБ-274 / .: 29.2.1920-НБ-274 What the Spirit Says "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 3:13) Life must be understood in its true, deep sense. Understanding is known for the fact that it brings renewal. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." There are two important thoughts in this verse: "He who has an ear," and "hear what the Spirit says." The words "ear" and "listening" are two important moments, two important states of the soul. The ear is an organ that the soul has made. So, only the one can listen who has made an organ. It is said that the ear is an external organ that is related to the physical world. Just as there is a relationship between the ear and speech, so there is a relationship between hearing and the Spirit. Bulgarians often say that the Spirit is hovering somewhere. This expression shows that they have a misconception about the Spirit. By this they mean that the Spirit manifests its presence in a special way in life. When we say that the Spirit speaks in a certain nation or in a certain person, we mean that this nation, or this person, thinks, feels, and acts right. Even in prehistoric times, which are spoken of in occult science, the first kingdom created by God existed on earth. At that time, people were in great difficulties that they could not resolve. Their king was a good and pious man. Seeing the plight of his people, he turned to God for help. His prayer was accepted. God sent an angel from heaven who brought him a grain of wheat and said: You will sow this grain and, when it bears fruit, you will not weigh it, you will not transport it, you will not throw it on the road, you will not keep it in barns. Everyone will take from it as much as they can carry on their back. If you and your subjects serve this law, you will be happy. On the day you change this law, great misfortunes will befall you. And if you ask me why you suffer, I answer: The people of today suffer because they measure the wheat with wooden pots, they transport it, they throw it on the road, they keep it in barns. And everyone carries on their backs more than they need. People have changed the great law that the angel wrote in prehistoric times. This law can be applied anywhere. The wheat grain represents a mathematical formula that needs to be studied. There are many things to study in geometry too. What does geometry study? - Straight and curved lines, figures and bodies. As you have studied geometry, tell me what a curved line represents and what a circle does. Tell me what is the application of the straight line and what - the circle in life. You will say that the straight line represents the diameter of a circle. However, the straight line has a different definition and a different meaning. Modern physicists who study sound and light have made the following experiment. They take two tuning forks. One tuning fork is placed in a horizontal position and the other one - in a vertical position. They place a mirror against them and direct a beam of light against it. It is reflected on a white canvas. Then they bring the tuning forks in motion, which is reflected on the canvas in the form of a circle. As the waves of the tuning forks decrease, so the circle gets smaller, it turns into an ellipse until it finally becomes a straight line. Anyone can do this experiment. What does the circle represent? It is a manifestation of the physical world. The diameter is a transitional stage, a neutral zone, a boundary between the visible and the invisible. As the energy of the physical world begins to diminish, we approach a straight line; as the energy of the physical world begins to increase, we approach the circle. This shows that our relationship to the physical world is measured and determined. If one of the tuning forks is set one octave higher than the other, the waves from the oscillations of the tuning forks will form a loop. The tuning fork, which is placed horizontally, represents the mind, and the vertical one represents the heart. It has been proven that the intensity of the mind is twice as high as that of the heart. This shows that the matter of the mind is more delicate, with higher oscillations than that of the heart. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says." The ear that we listen with, is a great thing. - Who do we listen to? The spirit, i.e. the rational principle that God has put in us. Everyone must penetrate this rational principle. People suffer because they do not listen to the Spirit, but listen to everyone who speaks to them from outside. What will you learn from the drum that beats without timing? What will you gain if you listen to the jingle of a gas can? What will you understand if you listen to every noise that is made in the outside world? All people hold different positions: teachers, priests, judges, mothers and fathers. Ask them, however, what did they learn in the performance of their duties? Mothers have been giving birth for eight thousand years, but have their children got better? For eight thousand years, judges have been hearing cases and judging people, but have they fixed the world? For eight thousand years priests and preachers have been enlightening people, but could they teach them the great law of God? Soldiers and officers have been using force for eight thousand years, but have they put people in the conditions necessary for their development? People have been fixing the world for eight thousand years, but could they fix it? - Why did they not get what they wanted? Because they have strayed from the right path, which is why they do not understand the Spirit. Today all people are afraid of the Spirit. There is no need to be afraid of the Spirit. It is a great principle that brings warmth to the heart, light to the mind and meaning to life. The spirit is a force that works continuously. It is more than just heat and light. If there is any interruption in the actions of the Spirit, it is due to the misunderstanding of the people. If I enter a castle with shutters and no light coming in, I will definitely get sick. Who is to blame for this: the sun or myself? It is scary to stay in the dark. However, man lives on earth, where light alternates with darkness, day with night. Day and night exist in the human heart and in the human mind. Every negative thought, every negative feeling and every negative action brings darkness into a person. Positive thoughts, feelings and actions bring light. Anger and rage cause darkness in a person. When you reconcile, light comes into you. The rotation of the earth around its axis and around the sun shows the processes that the soul goes through. The bright side of the earth represents the right attitude of the soul towards God. The dark side represents the wrong attitude of the soul towards God. You often hear people say: Let us get along, let us improve our relationship! If you live on the dark side of the earth, you will not get along. We can always get along with a hungry and the thirsty person. It is enough to give a hungry person half of my bread and a thirsty person a glass of water, so that we get along immediately. If, instead of giving my bread, I take his last piece of bread, we will never get along. This is a principle that applies to the individual, as well as to all people. Give away, without expecting to be given. Whoever does not observe this principle encounters difficulties on his own. A small cause may lead to big consequences. Years ago, there was such a big fire in Chicago, that had never happened before. One man was milking his cow. As it was dark, he was using a candle which he had put behind the cow. At one point, the cow kicked the candle, and the hay in the barn caught fire. The barn caught fire, and with it all the neighboring houses. A small cause had big consequences. The fire spread to almost the entire city. A rich man, trying to take his safe out of the office, saw the flames already touching the safe. How to take it out? At that time, a poor man was passing by the office. The rich man stopped him and asked him for help, for which he promised a reward equal to 250,000 leva. The poor man replied: I am not risking my life for any money. Now I am saying to you too: Fire is coming! Chicago is burning! What are today's people doing? Today, both scientists and ordinary people are standing still and dealing with the question of how to take their safes out. Others are bargaining how much to get paid to help the rich rescue their safes from fire. If you keep on dealing with your safes, you will pay with your life. Chicago is on fire and burning. God did not send us to earth to become millionaires, mothers and fathers, priests and preachers. He sent us to earth to be disciples of the great Divine teaching and learn to live right. You will say that this teaching is at odds with people's understandings. Think as you wish, but in less than ten years you will find out for yourselves whether there is justice in the world, whether there are Divine laws. In the near future, there will be no one left in the world whose head does not mature. This is what I read in God's book. That is what I was told. There will not be a single head in the world left, who does not understand that the law of God is always the same and immutable. Everyone will understand that the wheat should not be weighed, nor transported, nor stored in a barn, and everyone should take as much as they can carry on their back. I do not want to threaten you with this, but I say: Some time will pass, and you will see for yourselves the truth of my words. Write these words down on a notebook to make sure that my words will come true. I am not saying that you should blow this trumpet in the world to scare people, but to take my words into account and fix your lives. It will not be many years, and you will give up your old master. God will fire all dishonest servants and leave only those who have proven their honesty and sincerity in their service. You will say: Will we really cease to exist? - Do animals not exist? Animals exist, but which one of you would like to be in the position of an animal? What is the position of the horse that is harnessed every day? What is the position of cattle - cows and oxen, which have often tried the knives of their butcher masters? What is the position of innocent sheep, victims of insatiable human appetite? Have you ever thought about the great mystery of life, about the purpose of every living being? You will say: This is what the Lord has determined. - God did not determine it that way. As you read the Bible, it says in Genesis that God determined food for animals - grass and roots, and for man - fruit. Nowhere is it said to slaughter sheep, oxen, etc. But as they left paradise, people formed a circle, different beliefs were created, but human ones, not Divine. Thinking that your belief is right, is only 50% true. True faith is only that which emanates from the Divine temple, from the Divine paradise. When someone says that his faith is right, I ask: Do you live in paradise? - I do not live. - Then you have no right to speak. You say that you are a strong man. Try to carry a load after starving for three days. This is how you will test your strength. - My faith is in agreement with the church. - Which church are you talking about? The gospel presents two ideas: about the church and about the kingdom of God. The church is an internal process, and the Kingdom of God is an external process that shapes everything. I am asking the church: Where are your forms? Where is your faith? You say: We believe in the One, True God. If you believe in God, do you believe in His Love? - I believe. - Do you believe in His Wisdom? - I believe. - Do you believe in His Truth? - I believe. - Do you have a granary? - I have. - Wheat? - I have. - Do you have a donkey to carry the wheat? - I have. Then you have neither Love, nor Wisdom, nor Truth - everything in you is human. These are not my thoughts, thus says the Spirit. Thus speaks the living Lord, Who holds everything in the world. Thanks to Him, all ministers, fathers, mothers, teachers, preachers today enjoy His blessings. Do you think that the living Lord is somewhere far away? He is close, among us, and He listens to everything. His ear is so sensitive that it perceives even the faintest sighs of those suffering. As you read Revelation, you will come across verses that speak of the suffering of slaughtered animals. Their souls are protesting. It is not a matter of feeling, but of applying God's Love - of accepting the Divine teaching. It is a very old teaching. How many times have you studied it! - How are we going to apply it? - When you come to me, I will tell you: I do not weigh the wheat, I do not keep it in the barn. Come in and get as much as you need. You pass for scholars, for Christians, but you have bills of exchange with two or three guarantors. You say: Indeed, you are an honest man; your mother and father are honest people, I believe you, but to be sure, let them sign the bill of exchange. This shows that this person trusts you only 50%. And now, as I speak, people trust me only 50%. They say: We want guarantors! - I do not offer guarantors. I have one guarantor - the living Lord. If all Bulgarians agree to live as I tell them to, they will check for themselves that God rules the world. Only then will they believe me. I do not use scholasticism. Whether I or you will do the experiment, it does not matter. There will be a person who will one day make this experiment. Some people envy that someone has achieved something. Everyone wants to get famous. When you make a car, someone will always come to help you. - I am not happy with him. - Then make it yourself. - I can not. - If you cannot, you will be happy with what others are doing. It is a different case once you get in your car. You can command there. You will be silent while they are making it. Your child is sick to death. You need a doctor. You choose one doctor, another one, you are not happy with them. It does not matter which doctor comes; it is important to help the child. The current society is sick. I am asking: Where are your doctors? How will society be healed? If you think that society will improve with the current educational methods, it will trample the same mud. Current methods cannot elevate society even by a millimeter. A solid foundation is needed. In order to get a person out of the mud, I need to have a solid foundation. If I take him out temporarily and then he sinks into the mud again, I will sink together with him. Such are the current reforms. People are to be reformed! - How? - Someone climbs on the chest of another. In this situation, both of them will fall: one sooner, the other one later. - Why? - They have no foundation. Therefore, when a new teaching comes that can uplift people, raise children, restructure society, it must be respected. Everyone should respect the right of man as a soul, because fundamentally it is Divine and originates from God. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” What will happen to the one who has no ear? Years ago, something interesting happened at the port of Bourgas. Passengers, with tickets in hand, gathered at the port to get on the steamer, to take their seats. A shepherd from a Bulgarian village also went to the steamer, accompanied by his dog. He had not yet reached the steamer, when his dog started pulling hard on his clothes, for him to go back. The shepherd tried to resist the dog, but it kept pulling him lightly. He began to hesitate whether to give up his journey, and finally decided to go back. When they saw that he was coming back, some of the passengers said to him, "Why are you coming back? Your ticket will be wasted." He replied: "I will listen to my dog, who has never lied to me. It does not matter that the ticket will be wasted. Indeed, this steamer suffered a major accident and no one but the shepherd escaped. To this day, it is not known what happened to him. The dog is a symbol of loyalty and friendship. It loves man and remains faithful to him. With this, the dog pays for its sins. I am asking, "What should be done after God has credited us?" - We have to prepare for the afterlife. Where is this afterlife? In my opinion, this world and the afterlife are in the same place. If you live in only two rooms of one big castle, do you live in the whole castle? However, both rooms are in the castle. So they are part of the whole castle. For the same reason, the earth also represents a part of the whole world. We do not see the afterlife. - This is a different matter. It is due to your limited vision. You say that you see a person. What will happen if this person is placed at special angles of refraction and becomes invisible? Your vision is determined by the shadows, by the reflections that light undergoes. If the angle of incidence of the light rays changes, you will see the objects in a special way, and not as in ordinary vision. The angle of incidence and the reflection of the light rays determine what world you will fall into and how you will see things. Therefore, vision is determined not only by means of sight, but also by means of other senses. What will you see if your mind is locked in a stone? The more the eye reaches out of the stone, the more you will see. However, if your hearing is also involved, it will help your eyesight. If the sixth sense in you is developed, you will see things at great distances, as well as behind opaque barriers. Just as with the help of the radio you can hear what is being said in America, for example, so with the help of the sixth sense you will see what is happening in America at some point. You can check this at any time, so that you get convinced of the truth of my words. For example, you see from here that a professor in Chicago is giving an interesting lecture on biology. Check on the phone to make sure of your inner vision. You check and it turns out that your vision is true. How would you explain this fact? You will say that there is some confusion here. Who is confused: the one who has the sixth sense, or the one who denies the truth? It is not a matter of proving who is confused, but of proving that there is a sixth sense in man. One who has a well-developed ear can perceive even the most delicate tones, for which a person with an underdeveloped ear remains a stranger. An artist, who has a well-developed eye, understands colors that a person with a normally developed eye cannot perceive. A writer conveys to his style such subtleties that the average person does not perceive. Can you, in this situation, deny human abilities? It is enough to fall into the hands of a good phrenologist, for him to conclude whether you have an ear for music, philosophical abilities, or some special gift. You will say that only God knows these things, and only He can speak about man. A Bulgarian qadi (judge), this happened in Turkish times, went to a Turkish master. The latter received him well: he slaughtered a hen, roasted it, poured some wine. When they had eaten, the master said to him: "Listen, Effendi, the weather will soon be bad. There will be a great cold, hurry to leave." - How do you know? - The pig told me. The qadi listened to him and left. The weather immediately turned cold. Then he met their hodja and asked him: Do you know when the weather is getting bad? - I do not know. - Strange thing, the butcher's pig knows that, but you do not. What is required of man now? He must know the relationships that exist between thoughts and mind, feelings and heart, actions and willpower, and between soul and spirit. You will say that you do not believe in these relationships. The hodja also does not believe that the weather can be predicted, but the pig predicts it. Not only the pig predicts the weather, but also the spider and the bee do. Whoever observes these things is convinced of prediction, not as blind divination, but as a natural law. One must observe nature and study its phenomena. When I say that I read from the book of nature, it means that I observe phenomena and study them. I look for the cause of every phenomenon. I see a river flowing fast. - Why? - It has a high incline. Another river flows slowly. - Why? - It has a low incline. One man is violent, another one is quiet, meek. The incline from which the first one descends is high, and the incline of the second one is low. There is a certain analogy between the violent man and the fast river, just as there is an analogy between the quiet man and the quiet river. I enter a forest and see that the branches of some trees are sticking up and others are hanging down. What is the reason for this? The former trees are young and the latter ones old. When a young man decides to get married, he twists his mustache up. When he is disappointed in his marriage, his mustache hangs down. If a person says that life has no meaning, he resembles an old tree, the branches of which hang down. Do not keep in your mind any thought that you are old. The words "old, poor," were coined by the devil. Be young and rich, not old and poor. I do not recommend poverty to people. You must all be rich in mind, heart, spirit and soul. If you are rich like that, everything else will come by itself. When God appeared to Solomon and told him to ask what he wanted, Solomon wished for neither wealth nor glory. He wished for wisdom. People's mistake is that they do not know what to want. If the Lord asks me what I want, He will say: Lord, I want Your Love, Your Wisdom, Your Truth, Your Justice and Virtue to always abide in me. Since God will appear to everyone for about ten years, be ready, so that you also ask the same. - How will God appear to the people? He will appear with a cheerful and smiling face to some people, but stern and serious to others. When a scientist falls ill with an infectious disease, he begins to convulse, to shrink his face - he suffers. This is the face of God reflected on his. God asks him: Why did you not apply your tongue or your hands and feet to the Word of God? Do you understand now how to live? Now a drum is beating over you. - Why? - For you to be tamed. When the Indians want to tame an elephant, they turn it on its back several times. In this way, it becomes very meek. The elephant is proud, angry. Woe to the one who tries to catch him. When God wants to tame a man, he puts him to bed and turns him on his back several times. When he calms down, he understands how to live. He no longer swings his trunk back and forth, but begins to help the weak and the infirm. When I speak to you this way, it does not mean that you have to believe in everything. You will try my words yourselves. It will not be many years, and you will see for yourselves. I would like that you do not try the bad side of life. Christ says, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit of God says." Many listen to me, but few believe my words. Some will say that I am deceiving them, that I want to make them believe. I do not preach belief, but faith in the living Lord. Faith uplifts both the poor and the rich alike. If you have faith, even if you are poor and ordinary, you will be uplifted. If you do not have faith, even if you are rich, you will fall. The reason for the fall of man is the lack of faith. When he falls, he starts smashing stones and says: Life was good once. I say: As long as you weigh the wheat with wooden pots, as long as you transport it, as long as you keep it in barns, you will always suffer, and the bread will become more expensive day by day. - What should we do? - Do not weigh the wheat. This is achieved only with love. Only in this way will you understand how nature works. Everyone must carry the love of at least the mother and the father. This is what is ideological in the world. I speak of maternal love as a higher degree of love. The love of the young is human, not divine. It is a love of change. I do not condemn the love of young people, but I state things as they are. Do not exaggerate or understate things. Therefore, when you speak of me, do not exaggerate neither my good nor my evil. Someone says I am good because he tried my fortune. Another one says that I am learned because he has tested my knowledge. If you say that I am learned but I cannot help you, heal you, where is my learnedness? I will look like the doctor who recommended to his patients to apply kerosene topically. I do not recommend drugs that peel the skin. If you want to improve the situation of society, mothers and fathers must start first, then priests and teachers, and finally judges. If the priests and teachers start first, nothing will come of it. Mothers and fathers must set the tone of life. They say the church will save people. I say: Salvation comes from mothers and fathers. The father, who initially gives the best to his children, is a priest, a patriarch, a bishop and a king. The mother who, from an early age, brings bright and sublime thoughts and ideals into the souls of her children, is a queen. Being a mother and a father are sacred positions that God has ordained for man. Today, people take their mother and father out of their position and say: Let the teacher come and preach to our children. Let the priest come and preach to our children. - They can preach to the extent that their mothers and fathers have instilled bright and sublime ideals in their souls. Only on fertile soil can you sow what you want and expect results. You cannot sow anything on sandy soil. "What does the Spirit say?" The Spirit tells everyone to prepare for the afterworld. - What is that world? - It is the Divine world on earth. This means living on earth, but fulfilling God's will. - What is God's will? - That we live well, that we acquire immortality. This is the meaning of life. According to some scientists, the meaning of life is in the study of nature and its laws. These are shadows of life. This is the outer side of life. The true meaning of life is in the good life and in immortality. What is the cause of death? Man dies because he has pledged his soul to the one who can only destroy it. If you connect with God and live as He wants, you will gain immortality. Even if you die, your death will be only physical. Priests will not follow you to sing to you, to say: God rest his soul! May the Lord mention him in His Kingdom! Whoever does God's will leaves for the afterworld, de does not die. He says goodbye to his relatives and knows where he is going. He knows that he will be resurrected and will come to earth again to continue his work. - This cannot happen to us. We cannot be resurrected. - What can you do? - You can weigh the wheat, transport it, store it in barns, open wars, fight. After all, scientists are wondering: Why was the world created this way? Why is there so much suffering? "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says." I would like you to listen not only to me, but to listen to all the scientists who have created something; all musicians and artists who have immortalized their name. There are thousands of flowers, rivers, forests and mountains in nature, not just one flower, one river, one forest or one mountain. The great Divine Spirit is manifested through all the flowers, rivers, forests and mountains gathered together. We are all brought together to consider an important issue, to find a way to develop and process the inner wealth that has been given to us. You. you have no idea what wealth you carry within you. As you develop this wealth, you will come into contact with nature to understand the Divine Spirit working in it. Now you are in the position of a person who does not know where he came from and where he is going. You have come a long way. You have been walking for millions of years, and today you have stopped at a station to give something of yourselves and gain something. And the earth, together with you, is traveling through different places in space. An Englishman wrote the book "Poisoning the Earth", which caused a great storm, great noise, and ridicule. When doing his scientific research, the Englishman came to the conclusion that the earth will pass through an etheric layer in whose atmosphere people will suffocate, they will not be able to live. Newspapers write about this book derisively. They say that people will fall asleep and, having passed through the etheric layer, will wake up again. This is what they call the resurrection of the human soul. I say: People, indeed, will go through such a layer, but they will not suffocate. They will go through fire. Some of them will burn and others will light up. This thought is written in the Holy Book. Ether is the Divine fire that will purify people. When you see that some people catch fire, burn and get scorched, while others burn but do not burn up and begin to shine, you will know that the Divine fire has already come. The former will die as today's people die, and the latter will leave consciously. Someone says: I cannot stand this fire. - If you cannot stand it, you will die. Whoever is not ready to endure this fire will leave the earth prematurely. We must prepare to withstand the vibrations of noble and bright thoughts and desires. Whoever is not ready will be confused. Did the same thing not happen to the Jews? They said to Moses: We agree with everything, we can endure everything, but we cannot endure when God speaks to us. Moses promised that he would talk to the Lord and then pass the conversation on to them. They could not talk directly to the Lord. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says." It is important for you to understand this living, great truth. When it enters your soul, your eyes will open without bulging, as in greedy people. Your look will become soft, clear, pleasant, full of intelligence. Have you seen how open the falcon's eyes are? Its eyes are open to see its victims from afar. So, your eyes should be neither too bulging nor too open, because this shows great greed and rudeness. The eyes should not be too sunken, because such people tend to first see the bad in a person, and then the good. If the eyes are very open, bulging, or sunken, these are anomalies in human life. When love comes among people, a person will have the following external features: his lips will be symmetrical, with small corners raised up. It is not good for a person's lips to be stretched like a straight line. If someone's lips are like that, do not be discouraged, but put more love and faith into yourself. He must believe in the good of all people. Muddy water, when penetrating deep into the ground, through sandy layers, becomes clear. - Why is a man unclean? - He is a big, long river that comes from afar and collects a lot of dirt and sludge along the way. A good person struggles, suffers and thus gets rid of impurities. He becomes poor, but pure. A bad person is not responsive. He walks, he does not stop on his way. The poor and suffering stop him, they ask for help, but he does not help anyone. The bad person is said to be rich - rich in sludge and dirt. Evil can be outside and inside a person. One thing is required from you - to help each other. You are under different conditions, you are not in the same situation, so you have to feel like brothers, to help each other. You are actors who came to earth as a stage to play your part. Everyone must help the weaker than himself, to fulfill his role. No one can play his role well without love, wisdom, truth, justice and kindness. If you have more love, give him some of yours. A girl full of love should marry a boy poor in love. Conversely, a boy full of love should marry a girl poor in love. They say the poor should not get married. You have to know what kind of poor they are talking about. One's wealth is determined by his mind and his heart. One must study, know oneself and one's neighbor. Today people hide from each other, they do not want to know them. I have done research on the skull of the Bulgarian and I have come to the conclusion that man is a complex mathematical formula. Each organ, small or large, also represents a mathematical formula. There is a certain relationship between these organs, as formulas. At the same time, it has been noticed that every external or internal deficiency of the organism corresponds to some of its internal qualities. For example, a short thumb indicates that there is a deficiency in the willpower of man. The thumb distinguishes man from animals. Once upon a time, in the past, criminals were punished by their thumbs being cut off. Thus their willpower was paralyzed. We see that there is indeed a certain connection between the willpower and the thumb, from the fact that when someone falls ill, he begins to clench his thumbs. If this is noticed, the treatment of the patient must be started from the very beginning. The main attention should be paid to his willpower, so that its activity is maintained. One must think right and not blame others for one's mistakes. A doctor had an argument with his wife and, in order to intimidate her, drew his knife against her. She got frightened, startled, and fell into slight derangement. Her relatives immediately put the blame on me. She got deranged because she had attended my talks. If, indeed, my ideas are the reason for this, I volunteer to cure her. Then I will advise her not to attend my talks anymore. I do not want people who go crazy. In fact, the reason for this is her husband's knife. He knows his guilt best. Let everyone know this. Thus speaks the Spirit. I do not want the Bulgarians to offend the Spirit who lives in me. I bring good to the Bulgarians and I say: The wheat that I give you, I do not want you to measure it with wooden pots, nor transport it, nor store it in barns. Let each take as much as they can carry. Do you understand now? This is not what I am saying, but the Spirit of God who lives in all people. One is the Spirit. It educates the mother, the father, the teacher, the judge, and the priest. It distributes all goods as it sees fit. "What does the Spirit say?" - Let us all live in complete harmony and agreement, so that God may live in us as our Father, and we as His children. And by listening to God, we will have the right thought and the right understanding. You, as Bulgarians, are required to be heroic. In one of the last talks I said that the English are distinguished by their honesty, the Germans by their diligence, the Slavic people by their self-sacrifice. And you, as Bulgarians, I would like you to have self-sacrifice as your motto. Only then will you understand the meaning of life. Where there is self-sacrifice, the Spirit abides. If you do not sow, how will you reap? If a mother does not give birth, how will she know the mother's love? Apply self-sacrifice to bring love and peace to homes, among men and women. May complete harmony, complete agreement among all people occur. When a husband returns from work, the wife should welcome him with joy and delight, should be ready for any sacrifice for him. Seeing this, he will be filled with love for her, ready to serve her in everything. How do men and women manifest their love? If a man loves his wife, the relatives begin to act on his self-respect and say: Why are you so stupid to follow your wife? Can you not see she is leading you by the nose? Let her know that you are a man, that you are the master. He is influenced by their words and gradually changes his attitude towards her. Elsewhere, they speak to a woman against her husband until she is set against him. And she also gradually changes her attitude towards her husband. A mother sent her child to the shop to tell the father that lunch was ready. The husband did not leave for home immediately, because he had a lot of clients, he had to send everyone away. His wife got angry, eager for him to return. And when she saw that he was coming, she grabbed his walking stick and hit him hard on the arm. That is how she showed her heroism - she broke her husband's arm. As he was walking with his hand bandaged, his relatives asked him how he had broken his arm. - I fell off my horse and broke it. This man was strong, he fought with wrestlers and knocked them to the ground, but his wife could break his arm with one hit. "What does the Spirit say?" It tells you to leave your shop and go out. As soon as he tells you, obey his order immediately. Otherwise, it will hit you once and break your arm. And when they ask you how you broke your arm, you will say that you fell off your horse. The cause of the broken arm is not external, but internal. The reason is that you sit in the pub, that you measure the wheat with wooden pots, that you transport it, that you keep it in barns. In order not to break your hand, do not go to pubs, do not measure wheat with wooden pots, do not keep it in barns. And everyone should take as much wheat as they can carry. For now, this lunch is enough for you. The Spirit that dwells in you will give you more than that. Christ says, "When the Spirit of Truth comes into you, He will teach you what to do and will remind you of everything I have said to you." The Spirit will teach you everything. He will remind you of all that the living Lord has told you. He will rise in your souls. Sunday Talks 29.02.1920 Sunday, Sofia Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  9. Готов превод Делението - 8.12.1913-ИБ-75 / .: 8.12.1913-ИБ-75 Division But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. Matthew 12:25 "Divide and rule" - this is the motto of the modern world, this is the motto of every home, every mother, every father, every daughter, every son, every boss, every king, every nation and every culture. If someone asks me about the reasons why humanity suffers, I will say the slogan "Divide and rule!". Therefore, as long as you have this slogan, unhappiness will follow you, as the shadow follows its master. Christ says, "Every kingdom, every organism, every life, every organized nation, if it divides, it will not stand." I will prove to you why it will not stand. Every home implies the conditions from which the goods flow, because the kingdom is built on the house. Christ says, "If the kingdom be divided, the house will not stand." Therefore, both the kingdom and the house will fail together, or in commercial terms, they will go bankrupt. Bankruptcy is nothing but becoming a servant, an ox, you are harnessed to the fields, and the one with the prod says, "Since you have learned to divide and rule, come on now, 'gee'." Today, all Bulgarians in the field always preach this teaching of gee, gee, son, divide and rule, separate one furrow from another. You say, "How beautiful these fields are." I am asking, "Can wheat not grow without dividing the land?" Once upon a time, before man existed, how did all the fruits and flowers grow? The way all plants and fruits are cultivated today is new. The man says, "In order for a woman to cook well, she has to be beaten up." The mistress says, "In order for the maid to look after her work well, she does not have to go out in town often and has to be beaten up from time to time." When the maid returns from somewhere, her mistress immediately gets angry and asks her where she lingered so long. However, what is the result of today's order of life? Today, everyone, rich and poor, hungry and full, feels a nervousness, a dissatisfaction, there is something missing. What happens if your heart, stomach, eyes, arms, legs or any other part of your body is divided? People act today according to the law of division, separating daughters and sons from their parents. Join a religious community and you also see division there. In all people the heart, the stomach, the brain, the lungs are not in one place, they are divided. Secular people are said to be fighting over money. Well, what are religious people arguing about? So money is not the reason for fighting, it is just the occasion for it. Why do men and women quarrel, why do brothers and sisters quarrel, what is the occasion? It is a false teaching where people think that if they divide, they will be happier. Only unorganized things are divided, but organized things cannot be divided. Virtues cannot be divided, because if you divide them - evil is born. If the bottles that you pour water into burst and shatter, where will your water stay? If a student's ink pot breaks and the ink spills, what will happen to the student's white dress? It will be painted. The ink pot will say, "Because the teaching is divide and rule, I also divided myself, and where it is black, it is my country." Christ says, "Every house divided against itself will not stand," i.e. no rational life can progress for a long time once a division occurs. The house is an emblem of love, and once there is a division in love, it will not stand. If there is instability, evil, hatred, opposites are born, and all these are nothing but empty spaces. The first impression of empty spaces is the awkwardness. If we step into some swampy soil where there is no foundation, we sink. And so, division causes empty spaces in life, and they are a place of evil. 25 November 1913 Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  10. Готов превод Разговор за Откровението - 18.1.1915-ИБ-106 / .: 18.1.1915-ИБ-106 Talk about Revelation In order for someone to interpret a prophecy, he must go back to the time when the prophet uttered that prophecy according to certain formulas, to understand what he meant. When a certain emblem is taken from the prophecies, in order to understand its meaning, one must see from whom the prophet took it, who uses it: the military, the religious or others. It is about something similar - so in the interpretation, such a nuance must be conveyed by it. The trumpets, the horses are military emblems, the book is a religious emblem, etc. The four angels connected by the Euphrates River (Revelation) represent the four enslaved peoples around this river, who will now be freed (Assyria, Babylonia, Armenia, etc.). The angel in 10:2 of Revelation, who comes out with the book, shows the new teaching that will come. The number 10 shows the royal power that is now in 10 countries. They ask me: who will win the current European war: the Germans or the Russians? - Whoever says that in the current war will win Germany or Russia, The Central Powers or The Allies - they do not understand the spirit of the prophecy. Neither one nor the other will win, the third one will win - Christ. Victory will come from above. One of these kingdoms will disappear in order for the new kingdom of Christ to rise, and this will be the kingdom where Christ works - the Bulgarian kingdom. I see the statue of Tsar Ferdinand placed in the new "Alexander Nevsky" church in Sofia. This is secular. Because in order for someone to be counted among the saints, it means a lot - but he must suffer before that. They ask me: "Why did Bulgaria suffer?" I answer. So that Ferdinand becomes a saint. Because Bulgaria is preparing for something sublime - to take over this tenth kingdom. Well, the Bulgarians put Ferdinand among the saints, he proclaimed himself king. The kingdom, tsarism is very important, but they were told from above: "Let us see now, when you suffer. Tread on them a little, let us see if they know how to endure." The first quality of the saint is to endure. What is the mark? Revelation 13:16. Everything happens today with money, everyone uses this mark. Revelation 13:18. What is the number 666? It is a Kabbalistic number. Man was created on the sixth day, wasn't he? Moreover, 3 times 6 makes 18, these are three kings: the Russian, the German and now the Bulgarian. All three must yield to Christ, Who is coming. The number 18, like the number 6, is human. There is another interpretation. Man is a trinity. He lives in the physical, astral and spiritual worlds. What is the attitude of Bulgaria towards the great powers? Like a little stick here, in the physical world, it is insignificant because big sticks are being sought, but in the spiritual world it means something, because it is in a more tender state, where there are no big sticks. Even a small pain means nothing, if it appears somewhere in the body, but if it is somewhere near the eye, it will be felt, even if it stings as much as the prick of a needle. Man has to see the attitude of those nations that are above. Their kings are called gods. Archangel Michael is fighting above, and by bringing down the wicked below, peace will leave the earth for some time, as it is now. There are 17 million soldiers fighting here, but those who will fall from above are 200 million. The current order and the future age have a relationship, like a caterpillar to a butterfly. The caterpillar must sit in a cocoon for a while, until it becomes a butterfly. As for the butterfly (the future age), it has to stay in the cocoon for 50 years in order to get out of there. The twentieth century is one of liquidation: everyone takes their own. Now are the years of liquidation. There is no saint who has not been beaten before entering the Kingdom of God. But now the astral world is cleansed - there are no devils. When you go there, you will not be beaten. The good thing in the Bulgarian people is, that there is a spiritual awakening from within. And that is not only the masses, but also the intelligentsia. There is the salvation of the Bulgarians, in this spiritual movement. You will all be watching these events. You have taken one ticket each and you will be watching. It is different when you are told superficially what will be presented, it is different when you see it for yourselves. Your questions resemble those, when someone starts asking about the contents of a play. Whoever is interested and impatient, I say to them: Take it, buy a ticket and you will see in three hours. The Bulgarians say: "They beat us, they took our butter", but do not be afraid, your butter is not with Serbs and Greeks. They took the kefir but the butter went up in heaven. What is Bulgaria? These are the living, conscious people. What will happen to Bulgaria? - It has been sown and will have to sprout - to suffer. Someone asks himself, "What will happen to me?" - This will happen to you, to work humbly before the Lord, to serve with a servant's apron. Some want to serve the Lord with a crown. When you have a house, riches, etc., you cannot serve, then you need to be served. What will happen to Romania? - What happens to an outlaw when he is released from prison - he goes home. Romania will be surrounded by Slavs and will remain as an island in the sea. Look, it is a different matter with the Greeks - they have a culture, but they have to be nice to the Slavs in order to be blessed. Otherwise, God will send them the old masters - the Italians. Now the culture is transferred to Slavdom. Bulgarians and other Slavs must unite. But the minds of Poles and Serbs should not be relied on to talk about the future culture, because their minds are the minds of money. They have come to having money, power and authority, but the future culture wants more. What has Bulgaria lost? - Let us take, for example, two neighbors, one of whom somehow takes the property of the other. The robbed one has a son and the other one - a daughter. They (the young) fall in love and when they get married, who gets richer? Now God will marry Greeks, Serbs and Bulgarians, God will unite them in a union. Why did you punish us? - Because Bai Ganyo (NB. a fictional character by the Bulgarian author Aleko Konstantinov, considered an exemplary image of an anti-hero) is dueling - there is a law that punishes him. It is better that it happened like that. Bulgaria will be determined in the current European war, or world war, after Greece and Romania are determined. We, Bulgarians, will be going to Constantinople. 5 January 1915, Burgas Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  11. Готов превод Всекиму според вечната Правда - 10.11.1912-ИБ-69 / .: 10.11.1912-ИБ-69 To Everyone According to the Eternal Truth This meeting was attended by members who had not been present previously. Mr. Deunov, after reading Chapter 18 of Matthew, said: The words "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." are important. For every job in the world, there need to be two people to start working. You have to find out who these two people are. You need to think about these words. Think about who these two people are, who need to come together. Three people are already a direction, the direction you should strive for. But in the number two, you will always find that there is no order. The one who wants this from that number does not understand the order of things. Why do we want God? - Because we need Him, just as the student needs the teacher and the child needs the mother, both are necessary in times of need. In times of suffering, we must call on the Lord. Call on Him in days of sorrow, and He will appear, because only then does He appear. Otherwise, He is in His so He does not come down here. Whenever a medicine is given to someone, he must take it, otherwise it would mean that he does not want to be treated, he does not want to evolve. It is said that two or three, whatever they ask in My name, will be theirs. But know and keep in mind that two elements cannot be combined without the required conditions. Ask any chemist about this matter, everyone will tell you the same. It is the same with us. Only if we have the required conditions will the Lord answer your requests. For example, if you do not listen, the Lord will not answer you. If misfortunes have ever been sent to you, thank God for them. Be happy in both abundance and misery. Never blame the Lord for your misfortune, because you are the ones to blame. Everything is good in God, there is no evil in Him, but only when man does not do the will of God - suffering occurs. Yes, this suffering is the result of disobedience. Why is it only said about "two people"? The two, it is darkness and light, it is good and bad, truth and falsehood. In this life, do not expect to be happy. This is an illusion. The earth is not a place for man, but he is an alien on it. It is for him the so-called "Vale of tears*". This land is covered with the cries and tears of billions of beings who have cried, cried and cried. This is your destiny too - you will be given only so much relief. If you want more, it is of the devil. If you want to live forever on earth, it is also of the devil. If you want to be rich, it is also of the devil. If you build your happiness on this earth - you have been deceived because we have at our disposal another home, not made by human hand, eternal. And when you hear the voice of your neighbors, who have gone there before you, you will understand the meaning of life. By the way, I do not want anyone to grumble. I have decided to put an end to any grumbling. Everyone forges their own destiny, and it is God who determines for everyone according to eternal justice. Whoever feels ready for the Lord's way - that is good, but whoever does not, can remain in the world. Finally, think that you are given husbands, wives, children. Why are they given to you, have you thought about and understood that? Well, try, work hard and give the right answer to these questions. So, the most basic thing for you now is obedience. This should be the only password through which to knock in heaven, and as soon as you knock with it, whenever you do so, it will open to you. But if you do not listen, you can knock as much as you want, you can cry as much as you want - they will not accept you. Yes, the power is in the obedience. And obedience is the fruit, the result, the expression of love. * The word "vale" in the original text comes from the Old-Bulgarian word "yudol". 28 October 1912, Sunday Внимание!

Готов превод Събрание, водено от г,н Петър Дънов - 10.3.1912-ИБ-45 / .: 10.3.1912-ИБ-45 Meeting, Chaired by Mr Deunov Mr. Deunov read Matthew 18:3. “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven." More important thoughts: This verse is equivalent to the verse that says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." John 3:3. These conditions that you now have in the world will never be repeated in eternity. If you have any trouble in life and you feel dissatisfied, ungrateful, weak and depressed, know that the reasons are karmic and therefore you are to blame. If we want to enter the Kingdom of God, no more, no less - we must become like children. "We must not give way to temptations." We should not gossip about our brothers, let us stop gossiping at all. If some misunderstanding has arisen, know that some bitter karma has come from somewhere and even nestled in our nature. In such cases, there is nothing left but to pray that the Lord will remove it. The ordeals that are coming our way, you must know that they are sent from Heaven. 26 February 1912, Sunday Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  16. Готов превод До всички приятели - 26.8.1917-ИБ-177 / .: 26.8.1917-ИБ-177 To All Friends Wellsprings must spring, rivers must flow, grasses must grow, but man must think and reason and do the will of his Father in heaven. Let His Love be his law. The Will of God, the Kingdom of God, the glory of God, a goal in himself. Many leaves will fall, many shells will be removed until the soul reaches its perfection. May the Lord lead you and guide you with His Spirit, to show within you what is good and right before Himself. I have given you a teaching of Christ, a teaching of life, not of the letter. A teaching not of sectarianism, but a teaching of Wisdom and Love, which can renew the whole life. The Lord I am talking about is alive in all nature, working in all beings. He speaks within every soul, in every heart. I am telling you about Him, with Whom I am always in communion, I know His voice, I keep His teaching, I do His will, I listen to His Spirit and my joy is in His living Word. What a blessing it would be for people if they understood God's language and thought they were brothers, not enemies, to share their sorrows and joys! The hour is near, the voice of heaven will be heard. Have peace and patience, He will arrange everything well. He will resurrect, revive and there will be "one flock and one shepherd of life." May the benevolence of the Father of Christ from above rest upon all who call on His name in every place and time. 26 August 1917, Varna Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  17. Готов превод Писмо - 14.8.1917-ИБ-176 / .: 14.8.1917-ИБ-176 A Letter Dear, I tested the Bulgarian people and their clergy, whether have love for God. The truth is clear to me now. The Lord is with me. I am walking in His ways, I am doing His will, I am listening to His voice. His Spirit abides in my soul and I abide in Him. It is great and glorious to serve God and abide in His love. "I know him," says Christ. And hope does not shame, because the love of God is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us. Have faith, have love for one another. I have acquainted you with the living Lord, Whom you can always try and know that He is kind and merciful and benevolent. "Try and see that I am good," says the Lord. "Seek me in the day of sorrow, and I will help you, and you will glorify me." "Be bold, I am with you." The Father of Christ above will bless you all those who seek the Lord with a pure heart. "I am giving you peace." I bring peace and joy to all who accept the living teaching of Christ. Let all the murky water collected from the centuries flow out. Let Paul's scales fall from the eyes of men and "they will know God and He will dwell among them, they will be His people and He will be their Lord and God." Christ says, "Peace to My disciples all over the world, peace to all who apply My teaching." Peace to the faithful, peace of the patient, peace of the meek, peace to the humble, peace of all who seek righteousness and the Kingdom of God, peace to the afflicted, to the sorrowful. "Peace," says the Lord, "to My children, the Kingdom is theirs from now on. Peace, peace is coming - the peace of God for the righteous in heart and comfort to all. Thus speaks my Heavenly Father, my and your Father to all who suffer. And I, your brother, am telling you, "Keep His law, keep His Word, walk in His love and you will hear His voice and you all, from great to small, will know Him that He is the One and unchanging in everything in life, and everything comes from Himself, by His good will."

  18. Готов превод Идването на Христа - 21.1.1915-ИБ-108 / .: 21.1.1915-ИБ-108 The Coming of Christ "Ephesians. Chapter 3" He will come on the clouds. And how will those who are under the clouds see Him? Clouds, these are the elements, storms, rain. How are we going to see Christ? - Just like when he ascended. And in what form is the image of Christ painted in our imagination? There is a feeling in us that tells us the way of Christ's coming. And if you understand in your imagination what the coming of Christ will be, that is interesting. Is love separate from man? It can manifest as a conscious force, as an unconscious force, and as the very Spirit that moves things. Christ will appear in the three worlds: 1. In the astral world - for our soul; there he will appear tall, strong, shrouded in light; His thought, His mind are the light around Him; 2. In the spiritual world; 3. He will appear on the earth "on a white horse", he will walk, he will preach, and wherever he goes with the white horse, he will draw people after him. He will make everyone take up their cross and start preaching. The horse is the power - the Word. ---- These are short notes - only excerpts from the philosophical talk by the Master 8 January 1915 Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  19. Готов превод Девети март (22 март) - 9.3.1920-ИБ-278 / .: 9.3.1920-ИБ-278 Ninth of March (22nd March) The Good Prayer Ninth of March is a symbolic day. Symbols acquire meaning only when their inner meaning is interpreted. 9th March is the day of the equinox. But so, simply put, 9th March, the day of the equinox, is the day on which man was created, was born. And that day falls on a Friday. Do not think that there was no equinox before - there was. The equinox of man is the rising of the sun from south to north. The south is down and the north is up. With the advent of Adam, man began to evolve, to ascend to God. Now, if you can celebrate 9th March, in the sense that you are born today, i.e. the divine powers hidden in you to begin a new evolution, to evolve towards God, it is an equinox, or a transition from one state of being to another. The equinox should always bring the best thoughts, the best desires into the human soul, and then all those seeds that are hidden in the earth begin to grow, develop, bloom, and then their fragrance appears. The same law applies to man. A man without the Divine is like a bare earth, and we say, "This man is cold, disgusting, there is no beauty in him." But when the hidden, the Divine comes to man, these seeds, grasses and flowers gradually begin to grow, the flowers turn red and man becomes beautiful. This beauty cannot appear until the Divine Sun appears. Since the sun comes from the northern to the southern hemisphere, i.e. from one pole of being to the other, the north always means truth, and the south always means virtue. But the north also means death, and the south - life. A man cannot live until he dies. This is a law. Life begins first with death. This seems to be a contradiction, but it is a fact inside nature. Every seed, every form in which things are clothed, must die. Ninth of March has another meaning too. Man has to learn that great law of self-sacrifice, to get rid of the unnecessary things in this world that hinder his development. If a 100-200-year-old walnut tree wants to enter your home, if it is a rational, conscious being, could it enter? - It cannot enter in any way. Or if a 500-year-old oak wants to pay you a visit, could it to that? In such a state as it is, it will not be able to. If you would like this walnut tree or this oak to visit you, they should turn into a little nut or acorn, to pass from hand to hand among your children, to go around you all and finally get received inside you as a guest. Do not think that when this walnut gets inside you, it dies. No, it is planted in you. There are walnuts that grow in the human soul. You have to learn to see in the external nature all those symbols that are hidden inside it. And this will happen when we start living by the rules of God's Love. Some of you do not believe in God's Love. You look for it and say that it is a good thing, but when it comes to you, you are not heroes to accept it, to apply it. Why? - Because you do not have a heart, and it wants a heart. If your heart is broken, punctured, it will leak out. How many times does it enter your hearts and leaks out! Why do your hearts break? - Because they are made of stone. That is why it is said in the Scriptures that this stone heart will be taken away from them and will be made of flesh, so that this Divine Spirit may abide within them. The first thing you need to try is whether this Divine Love has penetrated your hearts. See if this Love can grow the seeds in you. When a person goes to school and finishes a class, does he not make a small attempt to see what his knowledge was like before starting and after leaving school? If there is something gained, it is the result of the knowledge acquired in school. In the same way, we will check with Love. We will see if there is a difference before and after it gets inside us. One cannot be suddenly perfect. By the word Love I mean God, Who must get inside us. God creates, God makes, so no creativity can manifest until He gets inside us. For example, even the smallest flies have an impulse in their minds that makes them do their job, and they have started it. Butterflies, whose wings are so well variegated, they also understand their work. That is how I read this thing, and I see that there are butterflies that stand higher than many modern people who pass for learned. Such learned men have existed for thousands of years. A learned man from a Divine point of view is one who knows God by experience. By "experience" I mean that we are ready to do everything for God and not to deviate from His word. So we must always be ready to do what the Lord wants us to do. Many Christians are now in the following position: they resemble that Christian woman in England who, during the Gallic movement, prayed for 12 years for the Lord to honor her, to make her useful to the people. Another friend of hers was also praying for the same thing, and one night she had a dream: Christ appeared to her and said, “What you are praying for is not for you, but go to your friend who has been praying for 12 years. and tell her to start the work.” She went to her friend and told her the words of Christ. Her friend said, "Ah, I cannot start such a work now." This woman, seeing that she was giving up, started the Gallic movement on her own. Now we pray for many things, but when they are offered, we say, "Not now, it is not the right time yet." And we find reasons to apologize. We will find excuses, whether the wife, whether the husband, the children, our friends or society. We wash our hands like Pilate until this Divine idea is gone. The situation this year will be favorable because it is a year of judgement. This year, people are being judged in the spirit world. Each of you must open your notebooks and, whatever your receivables, liquidate your accounts. You two hate each other, you will liquidate your accounts, you will start with 5 up, 5 down, 10 up, 10 down. You will say, "Who will start the work first?" - The one who is a master. - "Who will start teaching?" - The one who knows. - "Now, do I have to humiliate myself?" - You will be humiliated and you will go beyond, you will be humiliated to the point of disgrace. If you think you will not be humiliated, you are wrong. When someone is buried, he is humiliated. There is no king, no bishop, when buried, not to be humiliated, not to stink. You say, "Oh, to go apologize to someone! I will not do that." You will do it in the grave. Cemeteries are for those who do not want an apology, they are a place for repair. We pray for the dead. What could be better than their situation. They liquidate their accounts. The deceased says, "Lord, I will give everything." And indeed he gives all his flesh, all his blood, and when only the bones remain, the Lord says, "Let him go now." Thus, in both the mystical and the Christian world, there are living places, our desires, which we must leave and give up as insignificant, unreal. Do not think that I am threatening you with this, but you all think that these things will not come to you. They will come to everyone. Now we all want to walk in this Divine teaching, but you must know that it cannot be applied by force, but by your good will. Not only good will is needed, but there must be goodness in that good will; not only goodness but also justice; not only justice but also love; not only love but also wisdom; not only wisdom but also truth. Therefore, your good will alone is not enough. You will say, "What should we do then?" - You will try to forget any insult, because otherwise you will give place to the devil in your heart. And what is the devil? It is a statement of God's wrath against all righteousness. So, when you say that you cannot forgive, it is because the devil has come to your heart. You say, "Christ has come in me." When you forgive and you are relieved, Christ has come. Tomorrow you repent, you say, "Oh, I cannot forgive him." - The devil has come to you. You resemble that girl who likes a man because he is good, beautiful, but she is dissatisfied and hesitant because he has no house, no money, no reputation. She likes another one because he has reputation, knowledge, but she hesitates because he is not good. She wonders whom to choose. Now the devil in this world has houses, position, everything, but Christ has nothing. You think the churches belong to Christ. Make no mistake, every church has a trustee, they are locked, it is not time to be opened now. Some will say, "At least hospitals are Christ's." Justice, I think, still belongs to the devil. Some complain, "They did not give us the right." They will give you the right according to the devil. Because the devil also has his own right. He says, “To me 3-4, to you 3-4. If you do not agree, get outside." What is happening in the world now should not bother us in the least. This one died, that one died. People will die, houses will burn, steamers will sink, and so on. The evil is not that houses will burn, that children will die, but the evil is that you do not forgive. Now, as I speak to you, you say, "I am ready to forgive." Christ says, "Not only to forgive, but to be willing to give everything." But what are you doing? Let us forgive each other. You kiss, forgive each other, and the next day you start tearing each other to shreds again. I have nothing against this forgiveness, but when you come to the Divine world, there should be no worm gnawing on your mind. Every worm is alive, it eats the best fibers, the veins of flowers. When there is a worm hidden inside you, it will bite you. Someone will say, "How interested he is in my worms!" I am not interested, but I am drawing your attention to the fact that this worm will gnaw the most beautiful and tender roots and the flower will wither. We need to understand this devil's deception and tell him, "We have been listening to you for 8,000 years, but from now on we want to gradually apply the teachings of Christ to our lives." Some will say, "Thank God we are advanced." I will give you an example so that you know yourselves. Imagine that you are in a crowded gathering where a fire suddenly breaks out. There is a great commotion, a collision, everyone is pushing to come forward. If you push everyone to run away first, Christ is not with you. If you remain last, Christ is with you. So, if in some danger you are last and in some good you are last again, Christ is with you. This is the new teaching. If you do so, Christ will look favorably on you and say, "These children of mine have understood life." And so the Lord will send you to work. But now he will say, "You have not understood anything." I watch how young children treat each other, especially in the villages. The mother goes out to the fields and leaves the older brother to look after the younger one, leaves him milk with cream so that when the little one gets hungry, she can feed him. He skims the cream from the milk, and when the mother comes back, she asks, "Did you feed your brother?" - "I do not know what happened to the milk, Mom, it was not there." These small things in life show that even when they grow up, they will do the same. The law is the same. This year we will make it a rule to be right in the little things, in the little virtues. One day I met a nicely dressed girl who saw an old man bent down to tie his shoelaces. As soon as she saw him, she immediately approached him and said, "Wait, Grandpa, I will tie your shoelaces." The old man said, "Here is a girl who did a great deed." This girl could have passed or at he most could have said to him, "Grandpa, tie your shoelaces," if he had not noticed. That is where we have come to. We see someone in a difficult situation, but everyone shrugs and says, "May the Lord help him." In the new teaching, the words "May the Lord help him" are understood differently. If a farmer or a brother of yours is ill and he cannot plow the fields, the others say, "God help him," and they roll up their sleeves on the fields for a few hours, plowing and digging. If he has a vineyard and cannot take care of it due to being sick, let everyone take a hoe on their shoulder, and go to the vineyard. God help him. In England, somebody named Sparzhen preached in a rich church. Many rich people gathered in this church, their purses bursting with gold, and they were saying to themselves, "Let us pray to God to help us." The preacher told them, "Let us not tempt the Lord. I open my purse and give that much money for the poor.” One by one, they started giving. Praying to the Lord means opening our hearts. Now I see your bags are bursting with gold. You are very rich. You have not given anything for 8,000 years. You are a rich soil, into which the Divine enters and produces excellent wheat. You are a rich soil. Your purse, that is, your heart, will open now, and you will begin to serve God because He has already descended into this hemisphere. How many years are there from 1914 to 1920? - Six years. It has been six hours since the sun crossed your equator. Every day means one hour. See what the weather is like today. They say from above, "These people need cleanliness, they need to be white as snow." That is why it is snowing today. If they do not listen, their white clothes will melt, they will turn black. What does moisture show? It shows that your seeds need moisture, water, i.e. life. The northwest wind that blows shows that everything you do must be motivated by the truth. Because where the truth is, there is also light. You are doing tests with God like that, not with me, because you behave very well with me. I see someone laughing, he is happy, but when he sees me, he suddenly becomes very serious. There is no need to hide, this is hypocrisy. Be natural. When a person looks at you, your face, your eyes should show a willingness to do good, to be fair, smart, to love and to tell the truth. Sometimes we pretend that we are indisposed, but this is just a tactic that should not exist in the new teaching. You will show your face the way God made it. Well, does an artist's picture change? It does not change. Whatever image the Lord has set for you, let it remain so. If you are natural, no matter how you laugh, your face will show goodness. When your face is serious, it should mean that you are thinking of telling the truth; when you are silent, let your face show that you intend to act. If you frown, it shows that you try to remember something. You remember that someone did you harm. No, when you frown, it must show that you will do this good in the name of God. So, whatever movement you do, learn to translate those movements. Because in each of them there is a certain power. If you cannot turn a movement, translate it, one day you will form bad karma. If you cannot have a good thought, a good desire or action in these movements, to balance these forces, to straighten them, you will find yourself in conflict with them one day. Christ says, "For every right action there will be an answer." And I say, "For every bad movement of the face and eyes you will give an answer." When we say this, do not be frightened so that you do not know how to act, but by moving your arm or moving a muscle, you will enjoy this nice movement. There are special societies in Europe where they learn how to act, how to move their face, eyes, etc. Entire schools of this nature exist for secular people. Every good person should have such impulses. Sometimes you are dissatisfied with yourself, you feel that your eyes are heavy, or you feel some irritation in the nose, or itching in the ears, somewhere on the face or eyes, try to look for its reason. Bulgarians say that if their right hand itches, they will give, and if their left hand itches, they will take money. If your left eyebrow twitches, something bad will happen to you, if your right eyebrow twitches - something good. So every movement has its own inner meaning. This is the physical world, but these movements are also related to our spiritual life, so we must strive for free movements. Now, as I am telling you this, do not be afraid, do not wonder in what position to stand. I will show you another time how to stand, how to sit, how to walk, you do not know that. And see what disposition you will have by walking the way I will show you. A friend of yours comes and folds his arms in front of him. What does it mean? It means that he has closed his chest and is posing in front of you. So do some teachers in front of their students. Sometimes someone puts their finger on their blind eye and thinks. That means he is looking to settle his scores. We must turn all these movements into movements of the new science. That is why you must have purity of thoughts, movements, as well as external purity. We must be an example. If you see that you have something unclean, clean it. If you see your nails dirty, clean them immediately. This will give a boost to your soul towards good. If you see your hair disheveled, if you have time and no one is chasing you, stop and comb it up, because combing up makes good sense. It helps a person's thinking and that's why poets talk and lift their hair up from time to time. Modern secular ladies do not comb their hair up, but scatter it on their foreheads in the form of bangs and thus cover their foreheads. The new science cannot stand it, you know? Some people tie their hair back. You do not have to pull your hair back so much. By doing so, we will introduce the new education. You say, "Let us educate people." How are we going to educate them? By cultivating your willpower, you will be able to straighten your face and get rid of any ailments that you have. As a motto this year, I am giving you the task to develop your willpower - a willpower supported by virtue, justice, wisdom, love and truth. These are the rules for the occult school. This is an innovation to those formulas I gave in one of Thursday's talks: ordeal, hope, salvation, work, faith, exaltation. Put in your mind to cultivate your willpower and not to have any disturbance in your hearts. Let your disturbances remain outside, but be quiet, calm and joyful in your souls. And if you find the devil inside, catch him by the tail and go outside to drive him away. If he does not want to go out, do not mince your words. Whatever promise he gives you, do not believe him. Ask him, "Are you ready to forgive and are you ready to love?" - "No." If you are not ready, then out. Another will come in your place, who will be able to do this. (Songs are heard below. They sing the song "A solemn day has come") Those who sing below are the Bulgarians, a symbol of those who closed the school. So, I congratulate you on March 9 and wish you all to have willpower. The tiniest good that I want you to do this year, is to tie the shoes of at least two old people and have mutual respect for each other and among other people, to compete doing services. When the Lord and Christ see that you voluntarily worship and love each other, it is pleasing to them. If I start scolding you that you are this or that, nothing will come of it, and I am telling you that you are very rich but lazy. In my opinion, laziness is not a sin, but it shows that you have been in the shadows for a long time and you have become a bourgeois. Now the sun is coming, grab a hoe and a plow and become a worker. You are now workers. This year, Christ wants from you willpower, willpower. Remember that next year there will be no more talk of willpower. Then you will be 100 years ahead of your current state. Do not wait, because if you stay and do not work, the following year we will be 200 years ahead, and those who have not worked will be left behind. Progressing is very fast now. I believe that all of you have good will, but it is weak to manifest. You have good wishes, good thoughts, but they are weak, that is I mean, you do not apply them, but postpone them. You are given seed to sow, but you say, "Well, I will sow it tomorrow or another time, there are more important things now." No, this year all things must be sown. If a good thought comes to you, sow it - this is the most favorable moment. Listen to Christ, because He is now walking from door to door and knocking, but you are saying, "When will Christ come?" - He has already come. Some say that when we die, then Christ will come. Christ comes when you are alive, not when you die. When do people stop under the trees? When they are dry or when they are alive and bearing fruit? - When they are alive. Jackdaws alight on dry trees. So, you are good, you are all good. In what sense are you good? If you are bad sometimes, it is because you have thought of yourself as bad for a long time. You gather somewhere and say, "Ah, I know him or her, they are not as good as we think they are." You are all good, but when the devil enters you, then you are not good. When you say that he is not good, he is not good, then he finally becomes like that. The devil has done well what he is doing today. He wanted to become God, to rule people, and today he is bad because he wants to take what is not meant for him. That is why we must not serve him. So, you are good. You are good because you have pimples, but touching them can spoil them. You touch your own and other people's pimples, but touching them can ruin them. And we get bad today because we touch those pimples. If we do not touch them, we will have apples and cherries in abundance. How does frost come? They have just blossomed, the frost comes, you are deceived, look, the whole blossom is gone. "Let there be no frost." I say to all of you: There will be many nice buds, there will be a lot of blooming, there will be a lot of setting, let us only hope there will be no frost. I will not talk about salvation now, but I will talk about change. Salvation is spoken of to sick people, who are still in the hospital, but to you who have come out of it, I will not speak of salvation. We must collectively apply our good thoughts and desires. Someone is in a good mood, but says, "I have no spirit to pray." Do not be fooled. One should always pray, but prayer should not be monotonous. Prayer implies striving, talking to God. (They ask the Master to speak louder.) My voice is for very few people, but the world is wide and therefore it is not heard. If you hear my voice, can you do what I am telling you? Do not hesitate, this will be an excellent year spiritually. Fertility, there will be as much wheat as you want. The snow shows that the year will be fertile. There will be wheat, but this wheat will have to be turned into internal wheat. 9 (22) March 1920, 8 pm. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  21. Готов превод Приложение към протокола от 1911 г. - 14.1.1911-ИБ-35 / .: 14.1.1911-ИБ-35 Annex to the Protocol of 1911 1 January 1911, Veliko Tarnovo, meeting in the home of Mr. A. Boynov. There is always a desire in God to reveal Himself to us, but we remove Him with our desires and other [actions], i.e. we create a barrier. The gospel gives one rule: first, in order to see God, one needs a pure heart. It will be bad to wait for another reincarnation to correct yourselves; do not leave your lessons to learn them tomorrow. 7 January 1911, Veliko Tarnovo Religion is a fruit of the Love that man has for God. We must learn the law of self-denial. Every morning we wonder what to cook, but we never wonder what food to prepare for the soul. Fasting should be understood in three ways: fasting from bread and water, fasting from bad desires, fasting from bad thoughts. Veliko Tarnovo, before the meeting. This year's invitations to the meeting were distributed very early compared to other years - at the end of June, St. Peter's Day. Apart from this peculiarity, the invitations differed from the others in that their content was different - it was longer and the meeting was not called a "meeting" but a "congregation". The journey of the friends from their place of residence to the congregation in Tarnovo, as it became clear after their arrival, was without any obstacles for everyone. For many of them, for example, residents of Burgas, this trip was even a great pleasure, because the sea was calm, as smooth as a mirror. Those who had crossed the Balkans, such as residents of Kazanlak and some others coming from southern Bulgaria, also boasted about the pleasure of the trip. Although this summer was humid, because it was raining almost every three or four days, from 4-5 August the sky became clearer to the extent that no clouds could be seen anywhere - the atmosphere was clear everywhere. So this not only contributed to a pleasant trip, but also brought good weather at the opening of the congregation. We will see further down how things have developed in this regard. Внимание!

  22. Готов превод Писмо - 2.8.1917-ИБ-175 / .: 2.8.1917-ИБ-175 A Letter Dear, I received your letter. The Lord my God will get everything right. Suffering in life begets experience, and experience begets the conditions under which faith, hope and love grow. As long as everyone uses them equally. I want peace, joy and Divine love to reign among all of you, that you compete to serve each other and honor each other. Be inspired with the Spirit of Christ. Be smart and good-natured, strong in faith and patience, brave and fearless in God. Be guided by the inner voice of the Spirit. Be diligent in acquiring virtues. Forgive easily and be kind, more courageous, in deeds rather than in words. I am not writing this as a reproach to you, this thought is far from me. I want to remove all criticism, if possible. I am only reminding you of God's way, God's good, in which God rejoices. May the Lord my God teach you and guide you in all His good ways and in His Word. Greetings to you and all your friends specially by name. May the Lord's Peace rest upon us all. Yours Faithfully P. K. Deunov 2 September 1917, Varna Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  23. Готов превод Обсадно положение - 6.10.1912-ИБ-64 / .: 6.10.1912-ИБ-64 A State of Siege At this meeting, after reading the 12th chapter of the Gospel of John, Mr. Deunov said: In this case, the words "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life (for my sake) will find it" are interesting. This verse is similar to the verse that the vine stick must abide on the vine in order to bear fruit. In this life that we have within us, we are ready to sacrifice ourselves, but Christ says we will lose it. For example, from the current war that is being planned and is coming up, it seems to us that it will bring who knows what. But for heaven, this war is the same as two people on the street banging their heads. This great power may have said something, that great power may have said something else, but all this cannot add a single inch to our growth. Because everything that is happening around you and what you see and hear - mobilization, various preparations, weapons - does not solve absolutely anything. Wars in the world are for sinful people. And we should not hinder a Divine plan, because those people who are now going to kill each other, have their karma, and when God sends punishment, we should not hinder that. I would tell you a lot, but I see that you are afraid when you should neither be afraid nor think about yourselves, because what is happening now is mathematically definite and if you want to know, it is accelerated by one year. All these things that are happening, must happen because they are a step for the work of God. The world has been in a situation under siege for 75 years, and in 1897 an ultimatum was given to this world from heaven, and this ultimatum expires in 1914. However, Turkey made a mistake and turned out not to be ready to do God's will, so it will receive its retribution. It has committed many atrocities, but in the meantime, the peoples under its rule must now be given freedom. You should not be afraid in your minds, because by doing so you are hindering the work of God. These sufferings, which you will now begin to see in the event of the impending war, are physical sufferings, not moral sufferings, which only embitter Heaven. Because we may enter the Kingdom of God without one foot, without one hand, but if moral suffering jumps out at us, then we are in great danger. So I want to say that the body must be sacrificed for the development of the soul. And here comes Christ. He is in Bulgaria. And He is the One who is directing this work. The provision of the invisible world will depend on the behavior of the Bulgarian people, on the behavior of the Slavic element in general. You only need to cooperate in your minds, so that you can help. Finally, even if we leave and go out of our houses a year or so earlier, we have nothing to lose, because we should not be so attached to matter that we think it is everything. If we are still here, you should know that there are our brothers, whom we should help. And since Slavdom represents a better element in itself, it has the favor of Heaven, although it also has two great vices - fornication and drunkenness. However, virtues abound in its soul, which interest its spirit friends. Then, it should not happen, it will be a mistake to suggest that Bulgaria can become a great country, because, when reading the history, I am asking where are Persia, Rome, etc.? Were they not great countries as well? So, if Bulgaria, with its future greatness, wants to glorify the name of God, then there will be favor from above. If the Heaven is not with a certain nation, all its power and army are in vain. Such a nation needs one mind, and that mind is the Lord, and if we go with His plan, we must do everything we can to keep this nation from intoxication. That is why all those, who know the Lord, must say deep in their hearts, "Lord, let Your will be done." Let us stick to the Lord, because He is the Commander-in-Chief, before Whom you will report in a few years' time. Therefore, a consciousness must be born in your soul to serve the Lord. You should all be grateful to the Lord for what He gives you, and we do not know exactly what we need. A smart person is one who uses every opportunity in life and thanks Heaven for everything. All desires that spoil our peace, our spiritual balance, especially now, must be subordinated to the Lord. Because Bulgaria is currently 35 years old, so it bears two crosses (35 = 3 + 5 = 8, that is 2 x 4) and if it endures, that will become its great asset. 23 September 1912, Sunday. After the mobilization of the soldiers in Bulgaria. Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  24. Готов превод Бележки измежду разговорите с приятелите, казани от Учителя - 5.1.1915-ИБ-105 / .: 5.1.1915-ИБ-105 Notes from Conversations with Friends, Spoken by the Master On Monday, 5 January 1915, at 3:30 pm, the Master P. K. Deunov arrived in Burgas, coming from Sliven. People have invented "cannons", among other things. The cannons now only ruin people's houses - they cannot kill them. A man has made a house, they hit him with a grenade and bang, they kick him out of the house. However, when he finds himself beyond after his expulsion from the house, it is important that he wakes up quickly and regains consciousness. In order for someone to get their affairs settled, another one's affairs need to be ruined. For 2,000 years, the devil's affairs have been settled, but people's affairs have not been settled. Now the devil's affairs will be ruined, and the people's ones will be settled. From now on, whoever wants to do well, they should tell the TRUTH, and whoever wants to lose their civil rights, let them lie. 5 January 1915, Burgas Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.

  25. Готов превод Онова, което ще повдигне човека - 30.12.1913-ИБ-79 / .: 30.12.1913-ИБ-79 That Which Will Uplift Man A letter to brother Penyu Kirov Dear Penyu, I received your letter. These things that you are telling me are interesting, simply as a manifestation of the Bulgarian spiritual way of life. This, to my knowledge, is not for the first time. Even more interesting things have happened in this people's past. The present is an echo from the past and it must be repeated in abbreviated form. Now is his time, let everyone show what they have gained for centuries. "At the end of the harvest I will have the word," says the Lord. "The fruit will show everything in its true form." First Corinthians 3:1-23. I know the soul of this people very well; it has suffered a lot from its teachers, preachers, and rulers. It has a little more to suffer, after which it will be freed from the old slavery once and for all. I know that you are sad to see what causes suffering happen. It is hard on your soul to see the small divisions happen, but such are the laws in this world of God for the time being. God has allowed everything to grow and develop; He has determined a place for both good and evil. If the first man, placed under the most favorable conditions, could not stand in his first purity and betrayed the Lord; and if the first woman, taken from the purest essence of the human soul, fell in love with the alluring words of the serpent and committed the first crime, what do you expect from their offspring now? Can water rise above its source? - No. The cure of all things must be sought elsewhere. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh," says Christ - the present situation; and "that which is born of the Spirit is spirit," - that is the future, which hides the elixir of life, of new revival, by resurrection and immortality. Great vision, deep knowledge and vast wisdom are needed here. Training and upbringing are two completely different things. They are as different in nature as addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division. One process covers the outer - mechanical side; and the other one, the inner - organic side. Whoever learned just to add and subtract, has not understood life. The first people sinned there - in addition and subtraction. Eve did the first addition of the forbidden fruits and revealed the taste of the fruits, and the Lord did the subtraction - the expulsion. In the beginning they were told to multiply and reproduce. I am hinting to you, a hint of a great spiritual law, on which all life rests. You often blame everything on the devil. Yes, this is true only in those relationships of life where there is addition and subtraction, but not where there is multiplication and reproduction. My words will become clear to you if I quote the words of Scripture, which say: the works of the flesh and the fruits of the Spirit. Are deeds and fruits the same thing? - No. Therefore, whoever expects to get uplifted through his deeds, is a first-class ignoramus*. What can uplift a person are the fruits of the Spirit. These fruits are said to multiply and reproduce within the human soul. Desires and thoughts, these are the hidden seeds of Divine life. And I will proceed to show you where evil begins. A father called his three sons and gave them three nuts each: the first ate them, the second gave them, the third sowed them. From the first one were born all wolves, from the second one - all sheep, and from the third one - all men. You eat - you are a wolf. You give - you are a sheep. You sow - you are human. Now the art is to understand what the father wants. It is said, "be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion over the fish, the birds, and the earth." But this requires knowledge and wisdom, and strength. It is not said, "Have dominion over men." And anyone, who seeks to conquer what he is not allowed to do, is on the wrong track. These are the works of the flesh. This is food, this is the wolf, these are quarrels, hassles and the like. I want to make you look deeper, more broadly at God's ordinances. We will cry when we are children, we will laugh when we are young, we will think when we are old. Now, those who cry, let them cry; those who laugh, let them laugh; those who think, let them think. Some people are like second-hand goods salesman, they buy everything. Others are like young ornate maidens, just waiting. And others are like young men, well shod, spruce, stamping, knocking, looking for their happiness. And the others are considering which of the three paths to take. The little thing with Love is preferable to the big thing with discord. Keep in mind that heaven can give its riches and power to you, only when you are worthy in mind, in soul, in heart, and in faithfulness, and humility. Give space to the tree, to the tree of life, so that it may branch out, expand, multiply and reproduce in you, and bear fruit worthy of eating. Give space to the father - Love and to the mother - Joy, and to the child - Peace, in order to be in connection with God. Give space to the father - patience and to the mother - grace, and to their child - mercy, so that you may be in communion with the angels. Give space to the father - faith and to the mother - meekness, and to their child - abstinence, so that you may be in touch with the good people on the face of the earth, and with your loving advanced brothers and sisters in the kingdom of peace. My heartfelt greetings to all my friends and brothers. Yours faithfully (signature) P. K. Deunov 17 December 1913, Tuesday ------------------------------------------ * ignoramus; comes from the old Bulgarian word невЪжда Внимание! Този превод може още да не е готов.
