What is the goal of reflection, what does man acquire by reflecting? What is acquired is not important. What does the hungry acquire after feeding? His body acquires what he lacks and he calms down. On the same basis and whoever reflects, acquires something that is missing. And the hungry, after feeding, temporarily calms down, for a few hours - their discontent and restlessness temporarily disappear. Therefore, for those who understand, reflection is a Divine meal. "Can't you without reflection?" You can: if you've decided to go hungry, you can and without reflection; but if you can't endure hunger, you will reflect. It is natural for man to eat; Therefore, it is also natural and reflect. If you say that without this you can, you do not understand the basic idea of life. As he has come to Earth, man cannot live without food. And if you want to develop spiritually, you cannot without reflection. Only then can he grow and develop. What is more beautiful than this: that you grow up? You will reflect, you will be anxious for you to achieve something. Everything else is a human understanding that nothing attributes. When you reflect, you will reach the Divine that gives meaning to everything - without it life is "non-productive."
And so, reflect without asking why this is necessary. "Hard is my heart." Then you are missing something. The hard terroir must soften. If the land is dirt, you will hit it until it crumbles. If you have a terroir in the organism, you will do everything to soften it - it is not natural for it to remain in the organism of man. Therefore, if your heart is hard, you need water. What does water mean in the case? This represents a specific vital energy that softens hard things. You have a pot in your home. You see, the flower in it has dried up. What do you need? Water. Take it out, so when it rains the water - the rain will do this what you can't.
And to you I say: when you find yourself in a difficulty, leave yourself to Divine Providence - she will do this what you alone cannot; This will soften the hardness that contravenes you. The cause of the hardness of your heart is internal, organic. You look for it outside somewhere, but you are not going to find it. You are thirsty - someone will come outside to speak sweet words to you, so that you do not feel thirsty. No, sweet words are sweet syrups, they do not quench thirst. Water is necessary for man, - when he receives it internally, it will satisfy his thirst. Without water you cannot, - it contains a vital force necessary for the organism. Syrups are human inventions - no matter how beautiful they are, they don't help. All human interpretations are always syrups. "Excellent are syrups." Whatever they are - human are these. Human interpretations do not help life
The human is distinguished from the Divine in that it does not quench thirst. When the Divine comes: and thirst, and hunger are satisfied. Here is why, if you want to calm down internally, accept the Divine and do not meddle in their work. "How am I going to rise?" Don't think about this. "What was my past like?" And don't think about this - this is a work of life. The Divine Beginning in you takes care of everything.
As disciples you should be interested only in what awaits you today to achieve. These are two things: an idea for the mind and one for the heart. What will happen to you, if the idea of becoming a prince is born in your mind? However you are poor, you have no money for bread. What prince is this starving? You better not be a prince, but have bread. May you be a prince - this is an idea that today may not interest you. It is preferable to walk dressed in a modest way, but with a satiated stomach and with an internal content, than to be dressed like a prince, but with an empty stomach. It is preferable to bring deprivation and external suffering, but that you are internally satisfied. You cannot be satisfied simultaneously and externally, and internally. If you are a prince you will have everything, but internally you will not be satisfied, you will lack something.
Many want to have the disposition and the approval of the world. Do you know who the present world belongs to? To Cain All humans who live only for themselves, they are children of Cain, who killed his brother Abel: they are Cainites. Good men are they, but they stop before anything. They are men of extreme freedom, they do not recognize another will except theirs; Tell them about the Will of God, this is foreign to them. You will know that the present world, with all its glory and greatness, is created by Cain. Some say: "Look how the world lives!" How specific will we see in the world? There are sufferings, punishments, fires, prisons. Do not think that the Cainites are devils. No, and they are men, but with specific understandings. When God asked Cain where his brother is, he replied: “I am not a guard to walk behind him. He is free - he goes where he wants. ” God unmasked his lie, telling him: "Your brother's blood cries out behind you." Cain understood that his crime is discovered and was scared. But let's not go back to the past, it's not nice. What Cain and Abel have done, this does not interest us; who he killed, with what weapon, and this does not interest us. What do you gain, if you know that someone has erred? Cain raised a stick and killed it with his brother. "What is the motivating cause for this murder?" The smoke: the two brothers offered sacrifice to the Lord, but the smoke from Cain's altar went down, and Abel's was going up.
The question is not there, we are not interested in this. For you it is important that you make a connection between God and you. If you cannot do it, your activity will be without result. "Do humans have such a connection?" This is not important. Let each one only ask himself: "Do I have a connection with God?" If he answers positively, first he takes advantage of this connection. It is not important what men think about you, it is not important what you think about the creation of the world - important is your connection with God, in this is your progress. This connection must be constant and renewed. Some of your connections are easily cut: you make a
connection is cut; you make a second and this one is cut. What is the cause of this? The connection is not strong. The cause is either in you, or outside of you. If someone cuts your connection, what will you do? We will connect it . There are connections that are easily made, there is no job easier than this. For example, you go to the grocer to drink ten kilograms of white cheese; He doesn't know you, but he already remembers you for the purchase. If you do not pay it, so many times that you pass by the shopkeeper, you shrink, you are not calm. You constantly keep in your mind that you have to pay.
I ask: how will you make a connection with God? You will go to God's store and take, for example, ten kilograms of white cheese, without paying it. The connection is already made; they will write your name in their agenda and they will look for you. Rejoice that you owe God. He who does not understand the law says: And why do I have to owe? . Doesn't the child that comes out of his mother's womb shouldn't he? The belly is a store from which the child takes credit. He has taken his mother's ten kilograms, so he has to give. In this way a connection is created between the mother and the child. She looks not to lose this client, not to die. If the child had not entered the store, would there be a connection? Such a connection exists between the teacher and the student, between the priest and the parishioner.
Therefore, man must constantly remember that he is in the Lord's tent. The world in which we live is a shop, there is what to take from it. It is good that normal connections are created between humans, without theft. It is better for the man to borrow instead of stealing in the theft no connections are created. If you have no money, when you enter the store, you will say: For now I have no money. In the Divine tent they are very condescending, they give the trusty, but if you steal once, they immediately close the door for you. Then in the Divine store no lie or theft is allowed. You will say: I have no money. They are ready to accredit you. How are we going to understand this? I speak concretely in the lie and in the theft the connections are cut. These are the moths that eat the noble strands with which we are connected. Lying is the crooked path of Truth, hate is the crooked path of Love, ignorance is the crooked path of Wisdom.
Now you will reflect on the mercy of God. In the present state of man there is nothing greater than God's mercy. That which gives meaning to life is mercy. And even in the worst conditions of your life only God can take you out of the bottom of the inferno and save you. Salvation is not a process that happens only once, but incessantly. For example, you slip on a slope; If in the middle someone gives you a hand, without retaining you and getting you out of the slippery place, this is still not a salvation. How much you will shake until you go to a firm ground! This is the work of mercy.
Sing the song The Spirit of God . Just as you have sung now the song feels something is missing. The tone may be correct, but lack an internal softness, an internal sense. You have sung the song in the physical world; Sing it now in the spiritual world, for the heart, that we will see what tone you will take. Now I will sing you the song, so we can see what a difference there is between my song and yours. Each tone has form, content and meaning. And the potter, when he wants to make a jug, first takes into account its shape and its thickness: the thicker it is, the stronger it will be. After making the jug, the potter wants to put something in it; If you fill it with water, look to cover it well so that it does not remain an empty space. Finally you will introduce a certain sense into the jug: why exactly you have filled it with water and not with anything else. When you sing, you can transmit the song in three ways: if you sing it in the first way, you are still in the physical world; if you sing it in the second way, you will enter the spiritual world, you will take the door handle that leads to the Kingdom of God, but you will not receive them there; and finally, when you sing it in the third way, you will enter the Kingdom of God. How will we know how we sing?
Imagine you are a poor man, but you know how to sing; You go to a home and start singing. Everyone says you sing beautifully, but nobody puts their hand in their pocket to give you something. You sing a second, a third - everyone likes you, but nobody gives you anything. This shows that you sing in the physical world, in the first way. If you sing and each one gives you something, you are in the spiritual world; You have only taken the handle of the Kingdom of God, without entering. When you sing the third way, you will find yourself on a path to the Kingdom of God. He who listens to you will be happy with you and take you to his home, where he will entertain you well - that way you will become friends and help each other. "What is the best song?" The one who brings man to the Kingdom of God. The third way is
unattainable for you. Sing at least the second way, with a tone of three tenths higher than normal. An important issue for you is that when you sing, you force the rich to take out their purse. Each of you must know how to sing and play, to apply music in life. Music has practical application: so that there is tact, good reason, ability to put on - this depends on the musicality of man. The good man is musical, the painter is also musical; In the noble act there is music. For you to do everything on time, so you know how to behave with people, again musicality is required. And in Heaven, if you are not musical, you cannot touch the door handle that leads to the Kingdom of God. For you to be musical, you must have certain qualities - whoever has these qualities receives a diploma. If you want to manage the difficulties of life, you must be musical, that you know how to sing and play.
First the man was a good singer, but after the fall he lost his ability to sing. Just now he returns to his first state. Nowadays music can be helped as a method for healing. If you make the sick sing a little every day, he will soon heal; and vice versa, if the healthy person stops singing, he will easily get sick. Music is on the border between the physical and the spiritual world, through it man can transform his energies. Through the song, a specific vital energy is infused into the human organism. If you are nervous, unwell, start singing - your state will immediately change. You are sad, you cannot think - sing a little. Through singing such capabilities are developed that otherwise cannot be developed. Music develops patience; Non-musical men are impatient, hurried, they want to achieve everything quickly. If you are in a hurry, you are not musical. Life is the prettiest music. Human life is not so pleasant, since the tone is not taken well - there is something not musical about it. When you add that missing musicality, it will become pleasant. Just as you sing now, it's not bad. You will sing so that you self-educate and develop certain abilities. There are a few types of music: religious, scientific, loving, military and others. You can't love, if you don't sing correctly.
I have told you a lot about Love and yet you cannot imagine what Love is. There is nothing more essential than him, he is the most real thing in the world. The only force that can regulate everything is Love. I say: "God is Love." If man can understand Love, he will be free from sin and fall; he who can understand Love will be free from all the negative within himself - in a moment he can become a saint. If you touch the Love button, you will immediately find yourself out of contradictions; and to this day humans still cannot get rid of their contradictions and their deceptions, because they don't find the button of Love. Many buttons touch them, but not and this one of Love. Anyway there is progress, but slow. There is no force more powerful in the world than Love - he regulates all thoughts and feelings in man. Many of his feelings are of a mental origin because the mind awakens to the heart: such direction that gives the mind to the heart, so it will manifest. For example, a rich man puts in his mind the thought of earning ten thousand cams, another wants to earn 20 thousand cams, a third - 50 thousand cams, etc. The cause here is purely mental.
What is religion? This represents an internal connection between man and God. For such a connection to be created, it is necessary that you have good behavior towards people. The religious must fulfill the Will of God at all. "What is this will?" If you ask, you do not know God as your Father. Very naturally - how will you meet your father who has left for that world, when you were little! You look at his portraits, but these are very different from each other - different painters have painted them. You look at his last portrait, but this one is painted in the worst way - an incapable painter has painted it. Today every man carries in his conscience the portrait of God. The last portrait is the least successful - an incapable painter has painted it. He says that this is the image of God, that is, of your Father, they tell you that he looks like your Father, but you find that he is not your Father, he does not look like Him. It is said that man is created in the image and likeness of God, but he looks and sees that he does not resemble God. Under image I understand that man is made by the law of Wisdom. There are two things in man: love and intelligence. And both are in the image and likeness of God. For you to resemble God, you must love and think; If you love and think, you are in the image and likeness of God. Which is better: that you love or that you be intelligent; in other words - that you are made in the image or likeness of God?
There are two ways to reflect: that of the sated and the hungry. When the satiated one reflects on the bread, this is a distracted philosophy. I understand the philosophy of the hungry that has gone hungry - only he can talk about bread; if you speak to the hungry about God, he will have a correct understanding of Him. Man can think of the
Things with love and without love. You think that intelligence is higher than Love - in reality Love creates intelligence, it is the cause of human intelligence. Love forces the mother to think. When you love someone, you think of what good to do, you think of giving your love in a real way, of satisfying him. In other words: he who loves you, he foresees all your needs. Since God loves us, He wants to dress us in the clothes of perfection. It is cooking, it is not finished yet; Every day we must dress her, that they take action. How long is it necessary for you to sew the clothes of perfection, how many times will these clothes be measured and corrected until cooked? This must be ready for Resurrection Day. Under Resurrection Day I understand the day when humans will get rid of sin and its weaknesses. Then they will get rid of their old master - the pharaoh, and they will no longer make bricks in Egypt.
Remember: he who does not want to study has no love within himself; He who does not want to sing has a weak love. Love awakens everything in man, he gives a price to physical, cordial and mental life. If you say that the physical world doesn't interest you, you don't understand anything - and the physical world is a world of God; therefore, you will give him a price that corresponds to him. May Love be your measure; Do not fight with yourself, but understand Love.
When talking about Love, humans are deceived - they think that only the saint has Love. They think that to be a saint, man must be thin, dry, with a yellowish face. It's not like that. There are two ways to turn yellow. For example, there are pears that, cut green, after a while turn yellow; there are other pears that turn yellow on the same tree. So too there are saints who turn yellow when they are cut from the tree - this is a painful state. There is a natural, beautiful yellow color, which shows that the fruit is ripe - the yellow in this fruit slightly intermingles with the seven colors of the spectrum. In the present state of humans, when someone becomes a saint ahead of time, his liver is challenged and he says: “This is bad, I don't love him; that one is bad, and I don't love him anymore ”. If you start talking like this, you will know that your liver is not working properly. Keep the liver, feed it well - it must acquire its natural color. I don't know why Bulgarians have called it "black" (in Bulgarian the liver is called "black lung" - ndt) - now it must acquire its natural color. When the liver is normal, the man's face has a pleasant pink color. The cosmetic color of the face depends on the liver - as is the liver, such will be and the color of the face. The liver should be straightened so that it transmits a pretty pink color to the face, and not of tiles. He who does not love, gradually dries up until he dies. If you don't love, you only condemn yourself to death: you cannot rise again. If you love, even if you die, you will surely be resurrected. He who does not want and does not love, even if he lives, will die. "Why should we love?" That you may be resurrected. And the dead can love. If the dead person repents and begins to love, without fail he will go out of the grave. To those who live in love, Scripture calls them dead in virtues, because they do not love; alive in the virtues are those who love.
And so, everything in the world must happen by the law of Love. Then man will be and scientist, and philosopher, and poet, and musician; Wherever it passes, it will carry blessing. In man all the possibilities of him are required, he only needs to apply Love. By Love man can do everything. If you are forced to go to Cherni Vrah (a peak in Vitosha, Bulgaria ndt) in snowy weather you will refuse, however, if you know that your beloved awaits you there, go and overcome It is all difficulties. Love gives strength to man to overcome everything, he is the Sun of Life that dawns and takes away and snow, and rain. You say: Heavy is life, cold are humans. Nothing happens, a lot of snow has fallen dawn the Sun and melt it. I'm going hungry. And this will happen: the next year will be fruitful, there will be more wheat. When Love comes, there will be an abundance of fruits; He brings true knowledge without him you can study with years and know nothing. When Love comes, everything will learn. The Love of God leads to eternal achievements, he understands the achievement of the inlograble. I have despaired, I cannot achieve my desires. Accept Love He will lead you to eternal achievements.
Sing with love! After four weeks we will do a test of singing with love. You say: Extra a thing: work, study, but still something is not enough for me! Yes, one thing is not enough for you to learn to pay. When you enter the restaurant and eat well, you will take out your wallet to pay. And the restaurantman, when he opens the restaurant, will first buy pots, so he has what to cook and pay for. Under payment I understand that the man learns to thank that he thank for everything. There is nothing more beautiful in life than payment. You see a man drowning: what will he do if he is an enemy of yours, will he let him drown? No, it will help. When you save him, he will become a friend of yours.
Pay evil with good! This means that you pay, that is, that you thank for all that life has given you.

The importance of reflection, by Master Beins Dun
