Q: I hear from a lot of different
sources about the end of the world, at the end of the
century, in terms of ending an era.
Aquarian age and Golden age?
Q: Yes, impending changes and
physical changes. Is there anything that relates to this practice?
Yes. It also happens because
you've changed. Well, it happened to you individually:
you've changed, you got initiation, you are vegetarian,
you feel better now, you're wiser. In that case, it's true;
the whole of humankind gets uplifted and turns themselves
toward goodness and God. So in that sense, this clairvoyant
prediction is true.
Q: Well, a lot of people have made
prophecies about the year 2000 -- significant changes, but not
necessarily for the good, more likely the opposite. Because
2000 years ago we had Buddha, Christ and so on, so the 2000
mark seems to bear some significance throughout history.
M: So you want me to become another
prophet, make another prophecy, right? My prophecy is: let's wait and see. The surest
way is live until the year 2000 and then we'll see it happen.
It's more fun! You see, if you're reading a detective book
and someone tells you the end, is that fun? I don't like to
spoil the fun. What will happen will happen anyhow. Whether you
say it or not, where can you run to? How can you run out of God's
hand? Let Hirm play what Hes wants. We'll watch.
We have no fear of anything. We play the game. Let's have that
attitude. It's better than to know what'll happen in the
future. Let's have the attitude of: "Whatever will happen in the
future, I'll face it That's more brave, more courageous and more
fit for your dignity, than just to want to know things about the
future and feel fearful, or resentful or anticipate some
kind of boredom, or disappointment, relief, and
things like that. It's no good. It affects our natural growth,
and affects our surprise.
I don't like to know anything about the future. If I have that
gift, please ask God to take it away from me. I like to enjoy
surprises. Don't you? Can you imagine being born and knowing
everything about your life? Wow, better to be dead, no? Would you
like that? Born with a clear book about every detail of your
life until you die: how many hairs will be grayed, how many
teeth will be lost, how many lovers you will have, and how
they will treat you. You enjoy all the pleasure and pain
beforehand. You'd like that? And when you eat, when you taste it
again, it's like secondhand stuff, like already digested
food. That's right! No fun! I wouldn't like it.

The real wisdom is not to know the future. It's just to know
the present! Enjoy everything at the present, and don't worry
about the past and the future. The most wise person is like
that. The wisest person knows nothing, and doesn't want
anything; has no desires and no fears, because no ego. Who is
that person who wants to know things and what for? What is the
good of knowing things? What is the good of having anything and
knowing anything? Must have a big ego to want to know all
this, or to know all these things.
Q: I'd like to know if there is
any relationship between negative energy in the world and
things like natural disasters -- volcanoes, earthquakes and
things like that?
There is a relationship.
Negative energy comes from our own bad thoughts and actions
throughout the whole world. It gathers into a force and it
affects us. Just the law of cause and retribution, nothing
else. Don't blame any devil for anything. We are the devils, we
are worse than devils. I mean people. Devils, they only punish
those who are sinful but human beings, sometimes we don't know
who is who, and punish everyone -- repay goodness with bad,
sometimes betraying. Look at what Judas did to Jesus; look at
what Buddha's cousin did to Him.
You know what human beings are like. Don't blame the devils. I
think the devils have more of a sense of justice, of good and
bad, of repayment, of how to requite kindness. The devils are
very fine. Some of them are good. If you treat them well,
they water the plants for you; they stay on guard in the
garden; they don't let other things come and harm, take, and
smell your flowers. Some gurus, they keep devils around to guard
their house, guard their flowers. The devils do that out
of favor. If they like that Master, if the Master is good to
them, they will do everything. Devils are a little bit
underdeveloped beings, that's all.
