being A MASTER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS


Q. Do You truly know that You have been blessed and sent by the true God to sincerely help and rescue the lost ones that are not of this earth and universe?

M. Yes! Completely. I would not tell you, otherwise I fear to go to hell if I tell a lie. I fear God's punishment. I fear His judgment. I fear the Buddha's judgment.

.....

Q. Can You give enlightenment to everyone? Are You capable of altering the profound nature of someone?

M. Everyone has the right to be enlightened, but it is your choice to wish for it or not. After having found our true enlightened nature, our greatness and our wisdom, we will change own selves. For myself, I do not change people. It is they who change because their true nature is exceptional; it is their nobility and their wisdom. And he who finds
his true nature will rid himself of all negative habits.

Q. Dear Master, if I sincerely pray to You, will I be liberated eternally?

M. I think so, (Master chuckles) but only one person. Whereas if you get enlightenment yourself, you can take other people with you too. Like one person enlightened, many generations of your relatives and friends, even your dogs and cats, will be liberated. If you pray to a God person, you get only one ticket if you're really sincere. You don't even know if you're sincere or not. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

.....

Q. What makes You the equal of other great Masters?

M. The same thing that makes you equal with other great masters makes me equal. All of us are equal. You are as great as Jesus and Buddha - if you want to be, if you know where your greatness is. I know; that's what makes me great. If you don't know, okay it's fine. If you want to know, you will be as great as any.

Q. Is it correct to say that You know everything but You only choose to respond to some things and other things You just don't respond to, even though You know.

M. I also don't know. (Master and all laugh) These are very intellectual issues. You know, the mind is different from the soul. The body is different from the Master Power. The body eats, but the Master power doesn't. The body sleeps; the Master Power stays awake 24 hours. The mind responds, and the Master Power just acts with knowledge; it doesn't react. The Master Power has to be above the body, outside the body, and inside the body, in order to know everything at the same time.

If it's not really necessary, the Master Power does not direct the mind to understand that, or to do anything. If it's really necessary, then the Master Power will direct the mind to do something, to react to something physically. If not, the Master Power just does it in the abstract sense - outside of the physical realm. Not that the body can understand; not that you and I can understand; not that the brain can understand. The Master Power works 24 hours nonstop. The brain can get tired, overloaded, and exhausted because of too much information, too much stress or too much thinking. The Master Power never does.

So, what you're referring to right now, whether I know or not know, refers to my brain. In order to know the way you think I should know right now, I have to use the brain to know the way you think. But that's also the brain's domain. Knowing is the Master Power. The mind can be briefed about it with a little information. It doesn't have to know. If that thing is really important, the Master makes the mind react, makes me react - "me," in the physical sense that you see. However the "me" who is the Master Power always does something, always knows everything, but not in the physical realm.

In the physical realm, if something happens, if something is necessary, then the Master Power directs the body and the mind to do it for that particular thing, that particular event only. Not everything else that the Master does the body should know, or the brain should understand, because the brain and the body are limited. They will burst, explode, become exhausted, be overpowered; they cannot take too much. So, the Master Power does things, not always with the body and with the brain. Even the physical Master's body and brain can only take so much. Just like your car, it doesn't matter if you are a president or king of the Arabian world, you can't drive your car all day, all night, every day, every night. Even if it's a Rolls Royce, a Volvo, or a Mercedes, it needs a rest sometimes. It needs gas; it needs a lot of things. But actually, the Master's body is more than a car, of course. It is different, but it can get exhausted also, because of the law of the universe, the material law. So that's why I tell you, just take my teachings, do the meditation, and don't bother about what the body does or what I'm doing.

Q. As a religious leader, what is Your most outstanding quality?

M. I have only one outstanding merit: Maybe I have good relations with people. Perhaps people like me simply because I look good. If that's the case, then you will find a prettier star to be your leader, I hope. (Master laughs) This is a joke, of course. I hope you get used to my sense of humour.

.....

Q. But they (the people of Somalia) have not heard of Your teaching?

M. They have! As I speak here, they can hear me. They hear with their souls. Our souls can be everywhere. Our souls do not need microphones or televisions.

.....

Q. What are the thoughts of a being that doesn't have ego?

M. Thoughts of the Master, the Holy Names, the kingdom of God, and all the nobility that you can imagine. When you think of the Master, you have everything - all the qualities inside, and everything else comes naturally. I don't say that meaning that you should pray to me, or anything like that. The "Master" means the representative of all that is the best in the universe. Only in that light should you think of the Master, and consequently all the best will come to you because the Master channels all the best.
When something channels all the best, and inside is only the best, it doesn't matter what it looks like outside. Inside, it's the best drink. We only consider the best drink inside, regardless of how the container, the cup, looks. But I also present you with the best cup because people love beauty. Why not beautify the world we live in if we can? If God gives me that talent, why should I not use it?

.....

Q. So what would you like to say about yourself in relationship to what you can offer people?

M. I myself couldn't offer much except for my body, speech and mind whenever God wills to use it to offer it to people, to His children who love to be near Him, or to be next to Him. I can only be ready to be used. I cannot offer anything much (Laughter). I am only like you. What can a body offer?

Q. Religion is the belief of the followers. A great Master is a living idol to his disciples. When You arrived at the New Tokyo International Airport, You were formally and warmly welcomed by Your disciples. This impression reminds me of the young folks' wholehearted support towards a movie star, sports star or a pop star. This is also a kind of worship and admiration towards an idol. As a religious leader, do You ever feel like a star?

M. I like peace and quiet, But I cannot stop the emotions of my disciples. They are grateful to me because I teach them good lessons which bring more understanding, brightness, and happiness into their lives. This is similar to being grateful to your English teacher if you have learned English from him. When my disciples become more and more enlightened, they will turn to my teachings rather than myself, this physical body. I personally, however, have never felt like a star; I don't even have time to feel that way. To save sentient beings is an exhausting job. Running from one place to another, smiling continuously, l answering questions endlessly, and getting very tired. I am glad that people like me, but I don't work just to please them.
