If it is the truth， why be offended， you know？ Better change it！ No， if someone tells you Something true about yourself， you should be grateful and change it. You shouldn't be offended， right？ If the doctor points out to you that you have a piece of cancer here， then why get angry with the doctor. Right？ Better get operation and then get well， right？

 Yes. Well， your ex-prime minister， he is notorious also for speaking the truth. The "tooth" and nothing but the "tooth." I don't know how many 『tooth』 he has left， but he always speaks with the whole "tooth，" right？ Anyhow， he doesn't care. That's how he brought Singapore into prosperity and honor， honorable standard in the world.

Because the way he works is very straightforward， no nonsense， 『tell it the way it is，』 right？ He doesn't put a lot of seasoning into the food. Yes， it's health food， you know？ Healthynatural， wholesome. Okay， mostly it's like that. When people point out our mistake， we don't like it. We try to do everything just to make the other person feel that it's not true， or better still， make the opponent feel that he's guilty. Turn the table around. That's the way it works with our mind. We don't like to admit our problem and our mistakes - everybody.

Yes， we all have our big problems. If we recognize our weakness， our fault， then it's half healed. Like， if we already know we have cancer or sickness， at least we admit that we have， then the doctor can do something. But if we continue to deny and say， "No， no， I don't have it. That is just some beauty mark， you know， like... " Then we'd never recover. The doctor even cannot help us. Is there any other more 『jing tien dong ti，』 moreearth-shaking news about this small state？

 Actually， your state is not small. I know a smaller one， like in Liechtenstein， they have a smaller state， in between. And then in Italy， there is a very small nation， about a half kilometer square， and the whole nation consists of about ３００ persons. They have a fortress， they have a palace， in the middle of Italy somewhere. And then they have a palace， mini-palace maybe， and then even a king there. And then every day their five soldiers come and bring the flag up and down， salute the flag. Yes， every morning and afternoon. It's very official， yes， very small.

So I said， 『My God！ Like that， you know， before we had Miaoli， it's bigger than other nations！』 Why compare to bigger？ Have to compare to smaller， right？ Then you feel different， yes. Anyhow… And like， Monaco， also smaller than your country. It's about three square miles， or three kilometers， square kilometers， but they're very prosperous. It's not necessary to have a big country to be prosperous and healthy.

And your country is very prosperous and healthy. There are some things that we don't like also， everywhere， but because the governments have also their problem. If they have to work according to their wisdom， then some people don't like. If they have to work according to the whole population， then the country sometimes might be destroyed.

Because most of the time， There are not too many clever people around， so we have to admit some good things and forgo some bad things. If it's for the general， so the whole picture is good， ８０％， then we have to forgo ２０％ of the inconvenience of some bad things. You see？

So sometimes if a leader is good， we have to forgive some of his mistakes - if we even think that it's a mistake. May not be. Might not even be a mistake. Everybody cannot have the same opinion. Right？ Very difficult to find a good leader， you know？ In the whole world， how many good presidents do you have？

 How many good prime ministers do you have？ And then again， he's plagued with all kinds of problems， dragging him down， defaming them or whatever， opposition and all that. So， very difficult to find intelligent people in this world. That is exceptional.

This is something unimaginable here. Yes. For example， I told you many times， in the classroom only a few distinguished， smart students. Is that not so？ Yes？ Not the whole class can be reliable. That's the problem with the population. So sometimes， if we say the governments have to rely on the people's will in order to work， that is also fine， too， but in practice， it's not always possible.

Because everybody has different ideas， and then if the leader has to listen to everybody， then he cannot work. If he's really clever and good and has the interest of the nation in his mind all the time， then we can trust him. In Singapore， you have no choice anyhow. You have to. Yes， but the government has proven themselves that they are efficient. Then it's all right. But it's good that the Singaporeans now are encouraged by the government to have more vegetarian food， every day.

Meditate， everything well？ (Yes.) Business good？ (Yes.) Not necessarily good？ Really？ That's what it means by 『business』 - busy-ness！ Keeps you busy because of all kinds of problems. It's okay， just to keep you busy. Just have enough money to live， it's okay. We have to only do our best. In this life， what can we do？

Everything is so... not the way we want. Everybody is not the way they should be， and everything is not the way that we want to be arranged. We just have to try the best and live on， continue. Very difficult for everything， not just meditation. It is just not meditation.

Meditation only two-and-a-half hours， even if you struggle， it's two-and-a-half hours. But everything else， you struggle all day all night - right？ - you still don't have anything. I'm very happy that you continue in your way of practice， and that it benefits you somehow.

Does it？ (Yes.) In which way？ (All ways.) All ways. Really？ (Yes.) Like what？ You have more money or what？ (Less stress.) (Less stress.) Less stress？ (Happy.) Happy？ (Secure.) (Peace) Secure (No worries.) (Calm.) Very secure. (More confident.)

Why？ Before， where did you put your confidence？
(Courageous.) Courage？ Courage. Why？ You want to go in the zoo and fight with the tigers there？ They are our friends.

Okay. Of course we don't try to harm the tigers， yes？ But don't let the tigers harm you. Protect yourself. It's not that we are practitioners and then we have to go and put our head in his mouth， just to prove our sincerity and goodness and positiveness. It doesn't work that way all the time. Same in life. In life， if we have to do something to protect ourselves， do it.

Don't just say， "I am a practitioner， I don't do anything." It's not true！ It's not true！ Whatever we have to do in this life， we must finish， by all means and all of our intelligence. We have to use our wisdom and all the facilities that are afforded to us in this life， in order to take care of our mission.

Everyone comes here with a mission. I'm really impressed by you， and by all the initiates， that they meditate so diligently even when I am not there， even though they meditate on every different thing. But what do you expect， you know？

It takes nerves to sit there and think about １０００ things in the same center， you know？ Even though we learn the same method， but the ones sitting to next other have different experiences. It's okay. You are trying your best and I appreciate very much your effort and your goodness in trying. Try your best. Of course， sometimes we are too far away from what we want to achieve， but at least we know we try our best.

I'm very impressed all the time that people take valuable time to come and sit like that. Actually， because meditation always makes you improve because you sit there quietly and then you go inside and then realize the potential within your being and you make use of it.

And many things have not been cleared during the busy times become clear during the meditation time. Just like the pond of water， when it's quiet - no turbulence， no wind - then it's so quiet and clear. So， continue with your good way. I don't know what else to say.

Whatever I have to say， I've said many times already in different ways. Even though never repeated， but different ways point to the same thing， yes？ Look inside yourself and find all the answers that you seek. That's the lasting knowledge. Even sometimes you ask me a question and I answer you， this is not your self-found wisdom. Everything we earn ourselves is more satisfying， right？

I read a book recommended by you， "Embraced by the Light." It's said that each person has a mission in his life. How do we know what is our mission？

Just continue doing what you like best. That is your mission. Continue to do what you cannot avoid， and that's your mission. Doesn't matter if you like or not like， sometimes you can't avoid what you're doing， and that is your mission. Make sure it doesn't harm other people. If it's harmful to anyone， please stop it， okay？

Because it's not your mission， all right？ Or you choose not to have that kind of destiny. It's fine. Most of us know already what our mission is: meditate two-and-a-half hours a day. Go on retreat， spread the good news， and be good to each other， keep the precepts， vegetarian. That's your mission for now， and everything else comes from that. Okay？

 Everyone else has a different mission. We in this group have the same mission， almost the same. We spread the good news to help the people who'd like to go back to Heaven in this lifetime - I mean， after this lifetime - and everything else is just by the way. You know what I mean？ By the way. Okay？ What else？ Yes？

Everything fanatic is not our practice and is not our motive. Our motive is to reclaim the Truth， not to be a fanatic， okay？ So， judge by yourself and use logic and common sense. Don't just be too rigid and then we have no more joy in life; also no more health， okay？

When I first came to Hong Kong， I wore Tibetan traditional monk's robe， and all the Hong Kong people ran away from me. I tried to ask only the road， where to go to the refugees' camp， the boat people. But finally one person， a police or something， showed me to the boat people.

You remember the story of a monk who first has to raise a cat？ (Yes.) A monk who renounced everything， right？ But then he had his robe， monk robe， to go out begging. So whenever he come… he had two - huh？ one to wear， go out， and one to hang it here. But then the mouse comes and eats， you know， bites his clothes and damages the second set and then he goes and begs for another one.

And of course the disciple offers， you know， like… Well， believers in India， they offer anything if you want. And then the believer offers another set， and then the mouse eats again. The mice， sometimes they don't eat， they just damage everything， sometimes. And then the male monk was so fed up and kept asking the disciple， and the disciple became fed up， too.

Every two， three days asked for a new set of clothes， so the disciple said， "Master， why don't you raise a cat？ So the cat will eat the mouse." Okay，so that's that. And then he brought the cat to offer to the master， and then 『Like this， you don't have to go and ask for clothes every week or so.』 Okay， the monk raised a cat. And then the problem is， the cat needs milk， the cat needed food and milk， so he had to go out every day begging for milk.

And then the disciple， also fed up， said， "Master， why don't you raise a cow？ And then the cow will provide the milk and then you don't have to go begging every day for milk，』 you know？ Okay， so， said and done. The disciple gave him a small cow， and raised up and then they had milk every day.

That's very convenient. But then the cow needs…？ (Grass.) Grass. You know， need the wheat， grass， to feed because grass doesn't always grow in winter so you have to plant like rice or something in order to take the plant and give to the cow. So then， there comes the problem. "Master， you have to cultivate a piece of land in order to have the feed for the cow."

Okay， that's what the Master did. And then to cultivate a piece of land， he can't do it alone， he has to have a wife. There， that's it. Here you are！ Now you have everything. And then the wife， of course， will have children and all that. Now， that's it. You imagine the rest. For example， okay？

So it's just our opinions are sometimes too narrow We just don't go anywhere， don't learn anything， don't tolerate anything. We think this is good， that's good， and we think we are tolerant. It's not true. Very less tolerant are the people in modern times， even though we are advanced in a lot of techniques and a lot of equipment.

Life is more comfortable， technically speaking， but our mind has not been all that comfortable with new changes or with anything that doesn't suit our taste. Even the thing that's harmless to us， we still don't like it. If it's concerning us directly and we don't like， that's okay.

But when it doesn't concern us and we still don't like， that is no good. It's not open-minded. Some people are more open， some people are less open like that. And if I go all open， then they will be even more trouble - so that's 『opened』！ Okay， our body is just a temporary vehicle. What's the big deal about it？ What's so big deal about the body that we have to be concerned so much？

Feed it with a lot of carcasses， dead flesh and blood and bones and all that， and we're not concerned about that. Concerned about somebody else， what he wears. Every day we make the stomach become a tomb， bury a lot of animals， and we're not concerned about that， and we are concerned about what the Master wears or not wear - 『to wear or not to wear.』

Yes， this is a very funny world. We have so much shortcomings， so much problem， we don't worry about bettering ourselves; just worry about everybody else. That's the only problem with us. That's the only thing that causes war and disaster in this world. So conflicting energies， and we all nosey into everybody else's business and forget our house is dirty.

We don't clean our backyard， just go and nose into the neighbors'， then tell them that their living room is a mess. For example like that. Yes， that's the trouble with us. If we， the practitioners， just keep to ourselves， if things don't concern us， then we don't concern. We only take care， handle， the situation when the people of the situation concern us directly.

Otherwise， we don't care who does what， who wears what， who eats what， right？ Only when it directly concerns us， then we should take care the best we can. But in this world， we have to handle situations accordingly. Not that we are practitioners and we keep our mouth shut all the time and let people kill you or slander you， whatever they can. If you can， try to avoid. Or if you cannot， then leave it.

It's difficult to live in this world already， not to talk about being anything. "Master wear this， wear that， wear what…" you know. Sometimes I don't like to wear jewelry， too， but some of my close people like me to have some jewelry， so， okay， I please them， for example.

And some of you like me to look like this. (Yes！) Also， also， yes. Renunciation is such a tempting， romantic illusion that everybody fantasizes what it's like to be a monk or nun， and to stay there in the cave and cross their legs all day and just， 『Om Mani Padme Hum..." Yes. They don't know such a working monk like me have to do everything alone most of the time.

Whatever I can do alone I do it， because it makes more trouble for me if I delegate. It goes around， around… During the last １５ years I learned too much. I learned too much about humans' brain and mind and ego and pride… whatever…tradition and background and preference for clothes and all kind of things. Too much for me.

I prefer to be alone now. Yes， in this world I think to be a monk is very good as long as you don't go and work or do something， you know？ - you don't do much. Then it's fine， it's good for you. You have more respect and people like it that way. You know what I mean？

Most people， what they have， what they enjoy， they don't want you to have， they don't want you to enjoy. So if you become a monk， " She's safe. She has nothing - no husband， no money， no house， nothing！』 They don't worry， you see？ That's why they respect you because they think you suffer enough， you know？

What else do you have except a vegetarian meal once a day？ So when you suffer like that， people love you more. "See？ That's it. That's the way to go.』 Yes， and they respect you more， that you are courageous， that you can endure all this suffering. Okay， then sit somewhere and receive the offering. But that doesn't work in India. I tell you， if you go to India and you want to be respected and have offering， then you have to grow long hair and a big， long beard. That's a different story.

See， in India， if you want people to respect you， you just grow a long beard and then long hair， the longer， the better. The longer， the more respect. And in， Chinese-community countries like this， then the shorter the hair， the better.

Have it the way you want. And now my hair is shorter. You see？ See？ Be ready for a surprise from me anytime. If you think growing long hair is good， follow the Master to the letter and then grow long hair， and your hair is just about that long， I cut already. And before， you all wanted to shave your head， and I grew it long already.

Just no use， all this outside appearance. Look inside yourself and find the real beauty. You know already， no need for me to say. So， lucky are the ones who have understanding parents or understanding wives and husbands and all that. Lucky for you. Try to appreciate them. Treat them nicer than before. Appreciate their goodness.

Don't take them for granted or one day you'll lose them. Everything we get easy or too good， we tend to take it for granted and then we'll lose it. Don't be distracted by other temptation， other kind of， maybe， temporary good-look or temporary niceness. It is all maya. We have to know what we have， not what we might be having or what looks good.

As you know， illusion is always the same: tries to test you， to break whatever your good will， to spoil whatever goodness you have， or whatever good things that you have， damage it for you. Sometimes people don't do it on purpose; sometimes people do it. Concentrate， meditate， pray to God.

Let me share with you how I came to practice this method. A friend of mine who already followed Master Ching Hai spoke to me about it. In the beginning，I was a bit skeptical because there were so many things that I was told.


After I visited him he gave me something to read，which I did. The teachings moved me so deeply，that I decided to watch a video at his place. After that，I had the feeling that I the real Truth and real love.
 
 
At that moment，I had the feeling that whatever I had been searching for in my life，though I never knew what，I had finally found it！This is what I do now，for four years，and some wonderful experiences have come to me.


At first，in the relationship with your spouse in your marriage，everything becomes smoother，more fluid. You will feel much more love for each other.



There will still be little quarrels，that's part of it，but they are easier to get over with. When you look each other in the eyes again，you know it's good，it's over，and that there are such beautiful experiences because you know What you are doing.


Also in business，it will be better，just like Master Ching Hai says. In fact，after beginning this method，everything became better and better.


And you will also notice that by meditating you get，each time，more results. Not only will things turn out to be better in your family relationships，but it is indeed also much better in your job. People and their reactions，and your business associates，everything goes easier and comes easier to you. You don't ask for it，but it is given to you.


And that is，in fact，unusual especially if you realize that everything what Master Ching Hai gives is free of charge. There is no other master who in fact gives free lectures，free initiation-nothing has to be paid for. That is the most beautiful thing，what a true Master can give. That's all for now，thank you！



Hereby I would like to tell you my experiences before and after Master Ching Hai came into my life. As a child，I already saw the Light and I asked people around me whether they saw that too when they closed their eyes. No one knew anything about this，and my question was never answered.


Whenever I asked them that question，they told me not to fantasize so much. As I grew older I had even more questions，which were also unanswered，like，『Why am I so confused？』『Why do I feel so unhappy？』and 『Why am I always so scared of everything that happened to me，I often cried and prayed to God for an answer.



The worst was that I maligned the people around me，the people I loved most. Often，I thought，"Is this it？Is the only reason for being here is to be sad？Is there nothing else？"


And then on a certain day，a very good friend brought me in contact with Master through her videos and books. Seeing her videotapes
 

I felt attracted to her. Her way of speaking gave me the feeling of warmth and love. I wanted to know more about this wise woman. After seeing a video - Master spoke about the Light，yes，the Light - and from that moment on I knew that all of my questions would be answered.


I also knew that this was，for me，the way to go，the right way. I was taught the Convenient Method，which meant that I had to be vegetarian ten days a month and meditate half an hour a day. I must say that from that moment on，my life has changed enormously，in the good direction; from one day to the next.


I quit smoking，which had been such a problem for me. For years I had tried to stop，but I had never succeeded，and now，from one day to the next，if someone offered me a cigarette，I would say，"No，thank you. I've quit smoking." I stopped with other senseless things in my life. One of the most important lessons which she taught me is to accept myself as I am，and to love myself，and if I can do that I can love everybody and accept them as they are.
 
 
Thank you，Master Ching Hai. Two weeks after my Initiation I had a dream，and this dream was about Supreme Master Ching Hai. I dreamt that I knew that she was going to give a lecture which I wanted to attend. On the way to meet her，I was confronted by all kinds of obstacles，but nevertheless I reached the place where I needed to be.
 
 
When I arrived I could hear her voice but was not able to see her. I went on a platform and finally I could see her surrounded by women，beautiful women with long hair. The women were dancing. At that moment，I thought to myself，『What a fantastic human being. She does everything that is possible to make us happy.』
 
 
At that moment，she looked at me and asked me to come to her. I felt myself floating above the crowd to her. At that moment，there were thousands of circles of lights around me，yes，that Light，and I knew I was blessed. While I approached her，she brought me to places so beautiful，of which I had only dreamt or heard about from others.
 
 
Sitting on her lap，I could smell the fragrance，the love and feel the warmth. Thanks to this fragrance，warmth，and love，I felt like a child again. I started to sing a song so beautiful in a language I had neither spoken nor known.
 
 
Master complimented me，and together we sang this song. Coming back to the Earth，she put me down at the place I needed to be，"Now you may go home，" she said. And she went back to the place she had come from. At that moment，I saw myself coming back into my own body，I opened my eyes and what I then felt，I have never felt before，so much warmth and love. Thank you，Supreme Master Ching Hai，for giving me this experience.


Master Ching Hai，in Holland we call this Mother's Day，and we hope that you feel very happy on Mother's Day in Holland. This is for us a very special day. Thank you！So it means double that you are here，Mother of the Earth. Thank you. I wish to make a very special，precious loving prayer to all the mothers in the Netherlands. And thank you for coming. Would you please distribute these to all the mothers later？Okay. Now I am going to shock you I am going to speak Dutch.


How are you？That's all. Did you transfer my wish of Mother's Day to all the mothers in the hall？I forgot that today is Mother's Day. Traveling too much，I forgot the time. But it is very nice that we have such a celebration so we can remember our mothers sometimes. Yes，poor mothers. So，how are you？Are you comfortable in your chairs？I think my brother and sister have introduced to you somewhat about the meditation way that we can share with you，so I am just kind of explaining a little further，in case you would like to know.
 

I would like to share some very good，important news to the Holland brothers and sisters. Because there is not much else I can bring to offer your great country since your country is already very，very great，very prosperous and very intelligent in many ways. So，since I am invited here I think the only thing that maybe I could offer is the thing that I know of，the thing that I have; that is，spiritual knowledge.



There are two ways that we can live our life in this world，and you all know that. One way is the normal way that we accept everything that happens to us as destiny. And there is another way，that we know God's Grace and we can live a much happier，a much smoother，and more peaceful life.
 
 
Most of the people in the world，we choose to live the first way of life because we do not know the second way. We would like to know the second way，but it is，most of the time，hidden from us even though it is very，very simple，as if taking something out of your pocket.
 
We just don't know how，so we live a mostly unfulfilled，most of the time very frustrated，unhappy life. Once we know the grace of God，life begins to change. Life begins to be the way it should be. Life begins to be like Heaven. So today，we will talk about the second way of living，which will bring us happiness，which will bring us Heaven，which will bring us peace inside and outside.
 
 
The way to contact with the grace of God，people call that the way of enlightenment，the way of Jesus，the way of Buddha，the way of Muhammad，the way of those great masters in the ancient times and in the present and in the future.
 
 
I am not trying to say the way of religions，because religion has two essences. One is the theory that we read the Bible，we become pious，we keep the commandments of God，and we fast or we be a good person，we help one another.
 
 
That is one way. And there is another way，the spiritual way; it's much，much deeper. The spiritual way is the way we can contact directly to God and tell Hirm everything that we want to tell，and Hes will tell us how we are going to solve the problems，or Hes is going to bless us so that our life will become exactly the way we want to live.


Because in the Bibles or in many of the spiritual，religious scriptures，they don't mention how to contact God. They just mention that in the ancient times，like Saint John，or whomever had contacted God，or Moses had seen God，and then he got blessed and then he had wisdom，etc.，etc.，but the Bible or the scriptures do not tell us how to get the wisdom the way Moses did.
 
 
Jesus has meditated in the desert for 40 days; similar with Muhammad and similar with the Buddha，etc.，etc. There are endless masters since ancient times，I cannot mention them all，but they all had to go through a process of contemplating for a long time and every day in life in order to contact God inside of us. Is that it？So short！Is that okay？It reminds me of a Japanese joke. It is a little bit out of the theme，but you want to hear？(Yes.) Okay.


Just to brighten it up because we are in spring and flowers everywhere. Okay. There was a Chinese tour guide. He took a bunch of Japanese tourists to go around Amsterdam and looking everywhere，and then they went into a comedy club.



And then the comedian was standing on the stage and talked and made a lot，a lot of gestures，
a lot of things and everybody laughed. All the Hollanders laughed，laughed，laughed，and all the Japanese tour group kept waiting for the guide to translate. And after the comedian had finished and everybody had laughed already，they said，"What，what？What was it？"
 
And then the guide told them，"The comedian has just told a great joke，so now please clap your hands and laugh." Then suddenly all the Japanese laughed. And the comedian said，"Why I talked so long and you talked only one sentence and they laugh？" Yes，yes. I think he is trying to do the same job.



Now in the ancient times，the communication system was not very efficient，the transportation system was almost non-existent. So，to find someone who could show us the way to achieve the grace of God or the way to return to our Kingdom of God within ourselves was almost impossible.



And that's why most of the scriptures of the religions mention about these spiritual subjects in a very precious way，in a very mysterious way，in a very，kind of，very hard to find subject，and very hard to achieve. And they don't even write down the method for us.
 
 
But nowadays，because of all the convenience of scientific discovery，we can share with each other anything that we know in a matter of hours or minutes. Anytime that we can see each other，anytime we want to see each other or want to see someone who knows the way，we can always fly over there or go by car，by bus.
 
 
It's just a matter of a few hours or a few days，then we can know whatever we want to know about spiritual practice. And even if we could not see the person who knows it，we can also see the person who is delegated from this so-called spiritual guide or spiritual friend，and we waste no time; we can always learn anywhere in the world.
 
 
And this is very lucky for us. I did not know that. I thought I had to go to the Himalayas; but that was my destiny. I had to go there in order to come back and tell you that you don't have to go there. So，it wasn't a waste of time; it was the way of the working of God.
 
 
But it's not the Himalayas that makes us enlightened; it is a spiritual power that is transmitted to us through a living，chosen station，a living chosen kind of like spiritual pole，yes. If God has chosen you as an electric pole，Hes will transmit the power through you and then to another person.
 
 
That's very simple. Because God is nameless，God is invisible in some way，so it is difficult for us to know Hirm. But if Hes has chosen someone to transmit this power from Hirm，then it's easier for us to relate，and then we can assimilate this gradually until we become one with God，until we know God completely，and that is the process of complete enlightenment.
 
 
The person who is chosen to be a transmitting pole for God power is no better than anybody else on this planet. It's just that in order to light a torch，another torch has to be alighted，and then you use that torch to light another and then light another and light another.
 
 
So，in order to light many torches，one torch，one fire，must be made in the beginning，and that is just a chosen pole. Someone has to begin first，and everything else comes from there. So，in my experience that God has shown me，there is no mystery about how to know God. It's very，very simple; even children can have the experience of God，exactly the experience that is written in the Bible.
 
 
Like，if Moses has seen God as a big bush of flames，if other saints have heard God like the sound of many waters，we can experience exactly the same like that，and more. That's why Jesus has told us that whatever he can do，we can do also. Because it's not him that was doing，it was the Father. Similar to us，if we will be transmitted this God power or we get rekindled this existing power within us again，then we can also experience Heaven while we are living on this planet.
 
 
We can also have the healing power，we can also have the blessing from God so we can share it with others，we can also be successful in spiritual life as well as material life at the same time. We can have both Heaven and Earth at the same time and enjoy both.
 
 
Because most of us enjoy only the world and do not know there is another world that exists，that is，Heaven. We've heard that Heaven Exists and we can see it after we die，but it is not so: we can see it right now. We can see it in two ways.
 
 
One way is more materialized，like after the process of transmission，we become happier，we become more intelligent，more quick reacting，more tolerant，more loving，and more successful in many ways.
 
 
And sometimes we can even see the future and the past，and we can know how to solve the present problems，etc. And all the people around us，family and friends，become better and better also. And that is one materialized way of the grace of God.
 
 
But there is another way that we can see Heaven truly，with our heavenly eye，and that is，literally speaking，we can enter Heaven as a place. And we enter it not by the physical body，but by a spiritual body，and then we can come back again to the physical body and continue our daily activities- and nobody ever suspects that we are a saint.
 
 
That saves a lot of problems. People don't come and flock to our house and start worshipping the dirt at our feet and make our home become a free 『kostenlos』hotel. Because you know very well throughout history，any saint who became well-known，then he is finished. He has no privacy，no time for himself，no home，no rest，no anonymity - nothing.
 
 
He has become a servant of the public. You see，in the old times，if you read the Bible，any Bible，even the Qur'an，the Christian，the Buddhist，they state，some saints in the past，the way they see Heaven - they come up to Heaven and they hear the trumpetand they see the flame of God- you know，it's God- and they hear God speaking and all that. Just a few experiences，and they have been so famous that even it's written in the record of the Bible.
 
 
And we can have all this experience，but we keep quiet; nobody knows. It's better. Yes，we can see angels，we can see all the saints in the past and Present and the future. We can talk to God also，in one way or another，in heavenly language or even in human language - in Portuguese，in Dutch，in Deutsch，in French - in every language you can communicate with God directly - and still no one will know anything about your inner development.
