Q. Will we meet our beloved pets and animal friends in heaven after our life's journey is over?

M. Yes, if you want them. (Master and all laugh.) If you want them and if you are enlightened, you can take them along . But if you are not, you have no force to bring them. You have no power. You couldn't even bring you yourself to where you want, let alone your pets.

Q. Master, You talked about knowing the way home. Where is this home? Where is heaven and hell?

M. Here. Everything is here. But if you don't know, everything is everywhere. Everywhere is hell, everywhere is heaven. If you know, then it's heaven, if you don't know, it's hell. That's it, simple.

M. What do you think? Does it exist? Look at our world, and you know the answer. There's no need to look elsewhere. There is a bad joke, do you want to hear it, about hell? Yes or no? (Yes!) (Laughter) Don't be mad. There was a girl, 18 or 19, came home, crying to her mother, "Oh, mommy, I don't want to marry John anymore. I called the wedding off!" The mother said, "But why honey? You're engaged already. You're going to get married next week. What's the problem?" The girl said: "I don't like him anymore. He is an atheist. He doesn't even believe in hell." So the mother said: "Don't worry dear, after marriage, he will!" (Laughter) Bad joke. It's not always true, though.
