The reading will start from the assigned text and will continue successively until the end of the New Testament. It will start right from the Congress, from today. You will read ten verses a day when you are in a good mood. When you are not in a good mood, you will read only one verse, either the first or the last one, or whichever you want. And then you will note down which of these ten verses has drawn your attention - whether the first, second, third one, or any of the ten. When you are in a bad mood, you will read only one verse, because then you are on your way. When you are in a bad mood - you travel; then, of course, you will only read one verse. Once you are in a good mood - you are on vacation, you will read ten verses.

Now I assign for everyone one day a month for rest, during which day you will not eat - you will rest in the physical world, but you will work in the spiritual world. This day will be the third Friday of the month, so you will rest on 12 Fridays. The fast will start on Thursday at 12 o'clock noon and will end on Friday at 12 o'clock noon. This is a rest, a law, not a fast. It will run from noon to noon. Why? Next year I will explain to you why you will rest from noon to noon. The Sun is then at its zenith, above. What I give you as a fast is very little, but if you obey the law, you will have excellent consequences. This is a great law. You will say, "Well, I have fasted so much!" Yes, but you have not fasted that way. This rest is the same as when we travel through a mountainous area in the summer - you walk, you walk, at some point you sit down to rest, you drink some warm water, you eat well, you breathe some fresh air, you change clothes and then continue again. This is a walk that renews. But if you drink cold water when you are tired, you will return home sick.

So, what I am giving you is not fasting, but rest - this is for the renewal of the nervous system. And do not think that you are fasting - do not put the thought in your mind that you are fasting, but that you are resting, and then you will see how well you will eat the next lunch. Some people have this weakness: when they will fast, they eat a lot beforehand to endure the fasting. Then this makes them crave for water, so they can hardly wait for the fast to end. No, you will eat little - both on Thursday and on Friday. The little one is the law of blessing. The fast will start on the third Thursday of the month.

- Some office clerks who leave from work at 1 o'clock, when will they eat?

Whoever is a clerk, let him take two pretzels - that is enough food for him. Others will say about him, "The man eats breakfast, it is not a bad thing." You are an exception that happens once every 10,000 times, but I do not believe any of you will fall into such an exception.The clock that you will be guided by, is your feeling, it is your zenith. As long as you are in a great mood, your lunch is coming, but once you lose your mood, the lunch is over, the sun is already at an angle. This is because not all people on Earth have the same attitude towards the Sun. Lunch does not happen at the same time for everyone - in a psychic sense, time is different for all people.

- Is this assignment obligatory for those of our brothers and sisters who are invited to the Congress but are not present?

Yes, they can also do it if they want. All our brothers, whether present or not, all our brothers who have one spirit with us, they are no different from us, there is no difference, and they can do whatever you do. But those brothers who do not have one spirit with us, even if they are here, do not benefit much. It is important for the fraternity that everyone has the same understanding. What connects us is the Divine principle that works in us, and we want that principle to also work in all people. It is the thing that connects us. If it exists among us, we are brothers, if it does not exist - we are not brothers.

This is the least that I am giving you, but if you do it in good faith, with Love, you will have some of the best results that you have never seen in your life. It is very small, but if you implement it out of Love for God, you will see what a thing it is.

The special exercises are available only to the worthy students who have performed the general exercises conscientiously. These exercises are according to the law of freedom, and it is very strict. In the spiritual world, the law is very strict - once you have promised and you have not done it, be careful not to fall into this mistake again. That is why I do not want to cause you unnecessary suffering - once you have committed to something, you have to do it, even if the Earth is going to turn upside down. After these general exercises we will come to the private ones, which will be given only to those who will perform them in good faith and with good will. Many of you have a good will, but when a difficulty comes, they say, "To be postponed for now!" There are no delays! There are no delays for the special exercises. When Christ came, He had a special duty to drink the bitter cup, and He said, "Can this cup not pass from me? No, that is why I came! ”If you give in, you are a goner - these are the laws. Now the Lord will not change His laws because of our understandings. We now say, "Lord, can you not make one exception for us?" An exception can only be made by saying, "Wait, do not take it now."

And so, throughout the year, you will let the law of harmony work in you, so that everyone can feel that a spring is flowing in you, that fills your hearts. But now you meet each other and say to yourself: "The people of Stara Zagora are not going on the right track, the people of Sofia - also, etc." Then who is going well? You are all going well, only the devils in Sofia, in Tarnovo and so on are not going well. When did they go well? In order to make them go well, we must make them servants. Compete to pay homage to each other.

And so, when I meet you now, I will look at you for ten seconds and thus I will greet you. When I look at you, some lower their eyes. Do you know what that means? It means, "I am not ready to serve the Lord." When I meet you, I will look at you for ten seconds and give you half of God's Love. And now I am greeting you like this: I am giving you half of the Love, which the Lord has given me.

One sister wrote me a letter claiming that everyone gathered here was a vagabond. This is a misunderstanding of the law and we will not succumb to it. God is Love and we will no longer desecrate our Father's name for anything.

And now we are going to have a delicious breakfast.

The sun seems to love you. You will endure its Love. I will not hold you for long.

- Has everyone come yet?

- There are more to come.

- Shall we wait for them? How long?

- Five minutes.

- If you are giving them five minutes, it is a blessing. The common decision is God's decision.

- Is that always so?

- Always. When people carry out the will of one person, they are committing a crime, but when one person carries out the will of many people, he is doing Good. Evil always means one person, and Good means everyone. This is the difference.
