The hand tempts, by Beinsá Dunó

Sunday conference, given by Master Beinsá Dunó on April 5, 1925,

Sofia - Izgrev.

If your hand tempts you, cut it and throw it away ” (Matthew 18: 8 - ndt).

"If your hand tempts you" ... You will find this verse somewhere in the Gospel. Can our hand tempt us? - It's possible. Every thing, every object, every force, or every body, which we dominate, can tempt us, but this temptation can produce an unpleasantness or an unhappiness for our life. More than 40 years ago the son of a Bulgarian priest, somewhere in the Varna region, in the Nikolaevka village, the former Jadurcha, had his gun, or as the Turks called "chifté", like these with which they the military serve, and one night he takes his gun and fills it with large bullets. During the night, however, he removes the cores from the gun and fills it with pellets. In the morning he pours and pellets from his gun and leaves only pieces of cloth in it, and puts it in his belt. During the day he goes to the square, or as he is called the roundabout, and there he comes into conflict with the boys. To scare them, he pulls out his gun and directs it against them. Chas but the gun does not catch. He then puts the mouth of the gun in front of his mouth, to see what is in it, and blows, but when he blew, the gun flashes this time in his mouth. And what happens? - His eyes protrude, they become large, like a frog, his face is disfigured, like a cannibal. This young boy does not die, he heals, but throughout his life he remembers the temptation of his gun. Therefore, every man who has a hand that tempts him, this is his gun. The hand is an expression of the reasonable in man. Only reasonable people have a hand. Only reasonable people have guns. Only they can carry firearms. And the gods have guns. Since man goes through big worlds, he goes through big, he wants to measure himself with the gods, that's why he carries weapons. You have to visit some cultural country, that you are in the place of some of these giants, or as they are called: “the intrepid”, that is, that you are in the place of those who fear nothing, those who are above all, who See how you would feel. If you ask the Bulgarian how he is, he will tell you that he is one of these intrepid ones, who fear no weapons. But those cannon grenades begin to fall around him, it will be seen how far he is from the intrepid. Let him think about the one who is near the grenades! I ask: What is the beauty of human life? In destruction, or in building? In the lie, or in the Truth? In Wisdom, or in nonsense? In Justice, or in injustice?

Contemporary people say: "Nature itself has ordered things that way." Truly, that's how he ordered them, but if for everything that happens in the world, we say that Nature has ordered it, I regret that Nature. If Nature has really ordered everything that happens in the world, then the right people want to conquer it; Straight is his concept about her that they can conquer her. This is not Nature, this is arbitrariness, this is anarchy, this is chaos. Under "chaos" something unorganized is understood. And all contemporary philosophical systems always start from chaos. They want to prove that once in space there was chaos, disorder, and that order has come from this disorder. The Turks say: "Come son, see what your mind is like, how is your perception of life." This means that the chick has emerged from the great disorder of the egg. In this there is no philosophy. The chick has left the same order of the egg. In this greatest visible disorder, or chaos, as they call it, lies the greatest order. Scientists say that from this disorder in space, matter began to gather. No, this matter from nowhere has begun to meet, there was nowhere to meet, she was gathered. On the construction of the contemporary world and on the subject we must have a slightly different precept. We have completely different precepts about matter and its construction, of the elements and of all Nature in general. Our precepts are different from these that contemporary scientific people have. For now, contemporary people will spend it with these elements that they have and know. Why? Because according to the understandings present, the theories present in chemistry, for example, are a suit with which the elements are dressed. They can be dressed in a blue, black or gray suit, depending on how they can be dressed and the people themselves. That Petko, or that Dragancho, with any suit you wear, with blue, black or gray, will always stay the same. The essence of things is not there. Some say, "Do you know what the latest theory is?" What is the latest theory of science I don't know, but I know what the latest fashion is like. I know that people wear tails that are cut behind; I know what the latest fashion of women's hats is: by putting them on, they perfectly hide their foreheads; I know that according to the latest fashion, the shoes are so sharp ahead that they look like oxen's horns. I still know the latest fad of what? - Of the laces that contemporary people wear. In Turkish time, people wore cords so big and fat, that a man could hang himself with them, and today they are so thin, so delicate, that barely a spider can hang on them. They say: "They are delicate, because there is culture in people."

"If your hand tempts you" ... If your unreasonable life tempts you and gives you a distorted understanding, a distorted theory, through which your mind, your heart and your will deceive you, take this theory, she doesn't need you . If you have a measure in your life, with which when you measure you cannot measure your house and when you call some teacher, and when he measures with your measure leave meter between the beams, why What is this measure to create misfortunes on your head?

If your hand tempts you, cut it off. Every thing that tempts us must be rejected. The reasonable man should not be tempted. That man who tempts himself, he is a craving child; He is, according to me, a non-cultural, simple, uneducated man; He is the man in whom there is no love; He is the man in whom there is no faith; He is the man in whom there is no hope. He is the man who tempts everything. Therefore, every temptation must be cast. Where is it going to be taken from? From our mind. For a man to be strong, he must not be tempted. Until then, until man tempts, he is weak, he cannot grow and develop. Every temptation is a great stumbling block in the correct development of the human mind and the human heart. Among all the scientific people we see that a disturbance occurs. Some check one thing, others check another. And these people, after all, are amazed at how it is possible for everyone to observe things under a microscope, but some see some things and check them one way, others see other things and check them differently .

Now, the contemporary scientific world will separate people into two camps. Some say that in Nature there is reasonableness, and others say that in Nature there is no reasonableness. The latter say that the only reasonable beings in the world, this is we, the people, who create our theories. And according to this, everyone who lives according to these scientific theories will succeed. Eh, well, for so many thousands of years people live according to the theories of their scientific people, did you succeed? Did the Egyptians not live according to the theories of their scientific people? Did they succeed? Did the Assyrians not live according to the theories of their scientific people? Did they succeed? Did the Greeks, the Romans, not live according to the theories of their scientific people? Did they succeed? Does not contemporary scientific people in the world, today, do not live according to the theories of their scientific people? Until then, until there are theories and hypotheses, and people are guided by these, the world will not succeed. And every man, whose life is full of hypotheses and theories, he is an empty kratuna (it is a bowl made of hollow pumpkin ndt) . You are going to apologize for the strong prayer, but if I had said an empty pumpkin, I would have still expressed my thoughts. I think that you are so noble, you will not be offended by this strong expression; This does not refer to you. This refers only to those whose heads are filled only with theories and hypotheses; therefore, this does not refer to you, there is no reason to be offended.

I want to explain the fact why people suffer. In the contemporary world all the misfortune always resides in these theories and hypotheses. And in people's creed there are hypotheses: the hypothesis of God, the hypothesis of the Spirit of God, the hypotheses of the human mind, of the human heart, of the human soul, the hypothesis of human blood, as and of man himself. All these are always hypotheses. Hey, where is this man, come on, tell me! You will say: "Here is this one, the one we see who speaks to us, he is the real man." Well, tomorrow this man melts like ice. Come on, tell me, where is this real man going to be found? We believe in people, but when? While people do not exist, we believe in them, but when people begin to exist, we no longer believe in them. When the water freezes, we say that you can walk on it, we believe in it. But tomorrow, when the ice melts, we say that it has disappeared. No, the water itself has passed to ice, it has passed from one state to another - nothing more. The liquid state is the natural state of water, and ice, this is a hypothetical state of water. When has ice formed in the world? - When the Earth lost the natural heat of its poles. Therefore, because of the lack of heat by the Earth's poles, ice has formed. One day, when the Earth acquires this natural heat of its own, the ice will disappear and no memory will remain of it. I ask you: where will you look for that ice? - You'll look for him in the water. I consider water as a symbol of life, because life is also in such a state as and water. The word "voda" (which means "water" - ndt) is not Bulgarian. This one cannot be translated. What does the word voda come from? Of "vadi"? No, this is one of the words with a very deep content, which cannot be translated in the Bulgarian language. In the Bulgarian language there is no such translation. But let us now leave where the word voda has come from, because we will arrive at hypotheses, and these are dangerous. Therefore, reasonable life should not allow any hypothesis, no theory! As I say that reasonable life should not allow hypotheses and theories, I do not understand that they should not exist at all. No, that life thinks of theories and hypotheses, but only as an outline that is not so important. Each theory and hypothesis can lead to a certain Truth, but this is only a preparation. What are the latest theories and hypotheses, we can dispute over these. What is the latest theory and hypothesis about the origin of man, how he came from, about all this, scientists want to convince us that man has come from a very small cell. Then listen, I prove to you that all the Suns in the Universe have come from a microscopic atom. Will you believe me How has it come to the mind of this primordial cell to build man? They say: "Eh, this is a coincidence, a conjugation of things." No, these are hypotheses and conjugations of that scientific man. Other scientists will come to prove the reasonableness of Nature. How are they going to check it? They test it with a series of hypotheses and theories. We must stop dealing with the checking of things. We enter a new area. So far you have studied the art of checking things and you already know it. Every woman can prove to her husband that the meat he has bought is not good. How? - Cooking it without cutting it. He starts to chew it, but he can't get by with it. She tells him: I told you that this meat is not good, right? And really, that meat can be from some 15 year old ox, or some old sow. She tells him: “I told you that you should buy a more tender meat. The husband says: “Eh, when I was where the butcher was, he proved to me, according to his theories, that this ox is young. Well, I have my theories. ” Yes, but when you eat it now, you check that this ox is old. How do you check this thing? - When you eat it and you can't chew it well. What conclusion can be drawn from this check? - That old meat is hardly chewed, or not chewed, and that young meat is easily chewed. What did you check in general with this? - That the meat is either chewed or not chewed. Well, now I say: Listen, chew a sweet pear! She is always young, never gets old. In the pear there is a quality, that they never age, they are always young, always six months. I do not speak of the pear tree, but of the pear itself, of the fruit itself, which is always 5-6-7 months, but it cannot remain. So, the pear is always young, she can't be more than a year old. In fruits you can always be sure, these cannot be more than one year. And when we say they are fresh, this means they are only 1-2-3 months.

If these reasonable theories and hypotheses enter into our reasonable life, this will be an old life - a life of destroyed forms. For example, I have frequently touched on the issue of private property, but it is interesting how some of my disciples understood it. For example, one of my disciples goes to the home of a brother, who has a sack of nuts, and begins to catch himself constantly from them. Eat freely of these and say: “There is no private property anymore!” If there is no private property and if you eat from this sack, then and everyone else has to eat from it. Well, this is exactly private property! This disciple, as he excludes private property for others, he only enters private property. He, as the bag obsesses, recognizes private property for himself, but for others he does not recognize it. That I don't recognize private property, I understand that when I have something for me, that I already give others to eat from it. Idea man must have when he rejects private property of himself! If he is privileged, and for others he does not recognize this privilege, this is no longer a correct philosophy. Therefore, if we act and reason in this way, we will incorrectly distribute the goods that God has given us in this world. Then someone will say: “Hey, how should one live according to this Teaching? All of us have to live reasonably, as required by these magnificent laws, through which life is ordered. In this world God has provided everything (what is necessary - ndt) for us. The basic things for life are provided. What does the mind need, this is provided; what does the heart need, this is provided; what the body needs, all this is provided. Therefore, man must find this, what is provided for him. He will use his life so reasonably, as is the father of that young boy and that young girl, when he asks for new clothes from a tailor or seamstress. He will give a note to his daughter and say: "You will go to such a seamstress to take the clothes I have asked for you." Then he will say to his son: "You will go to such a tailor to take the clothes I have ordered for you." This is a well educated father. Why doesn't he leave the seamstress and the tailor to bring the son and daughter's clothes to their home? Because if the tailor and the seamstress had come alone to bring the clothes, this means that they will need to be paid for their work, but it will also be necessary to be paid and for the effort they will make to bring them. He says: "I do not have excessive money, so you will go alone to collect them." The son and daughter will say: "How stingy is our father!" And you? Yes, you are of the nobles! If your father is stingy, and you are stingy; If your father is dumb, and you are dumb. Someone says: "My father is this or that." Well, you left him, right? And now someone says: "The world is very silly ordered." If the world is silly ordered, and you are a top quality fool. If Nature is dumb, and you are dumb, I don't believe you in anything. The world is foolish - says someone. If the world is foolish, you are twice as foolish. So we reason. "No, I am a scientist." Well, show your scientificity! What have you shown to the world? You have written a work about a beetle, about a microbe. What does the microbe show? Can people be vaccinated in such a way that they never die? Today, children are vaccinated to a certain age, but they still die. Scientists want to tell us that they have found some serum which when injected into the child's blood, he acquires immunity, adapted to this disease and was not infected with it. Still, however, we see how children die exactly from this disease against which they have found such serum. And now, every man who does not vaccinate his son, he is outside the frontiers of science, he is considered a retrograde. Yes, but this is not science! I would like, after they give an injection to a child, after vaccinating him, that he can live for approximately 500 more years. And now, after they give this child an injection, after 5 years he dies. This is not science, these are healing hypotheses, these are healing theories.

"If your hand tempts you, cut it and throw it out!"

And then, some come and ask me: "Should I heal?" I say: no, you should not be cured. - So what do I have to do? - You must live reasonably, according to the Laws of God. You will live according to the Laws of God. If you can purify your mind, that you introduce that solid thought into yourself, that you think that the Divine world is reasonable, that the Divine world is pure, that outside the present world that manifests itself, there is a multitude of reasonable Beings that are very close to you, you will live according to the Laws of God. These higher reasonable Beings can always manifest to us.

To clarify my thinking I will convey an example. The famous Master of India, Krishna, who has now become almost a divinity, who enters and in the trinity of Hindu theology and philosophy, had a well loved disciple. One day this disciple says to his Master: "Master, I see you as an ordinary man, but please, let me see your glory, that I see you as you are." Krishna is revealed to him and he sees that the entire space of the Universe, from the throne of God to Earth, everything was filled with the glory and greatness of Krishna. Presenting himself in front of his Master, the disciple said: "I thank you, because I have understood the meaning of life." Krishna tells him: "You will remember that what I have revealed to you, I have not revealed for your mind, or for your heart, but for that noble feeling that trembled in your soul." Now, some disciples, with their scientificity, say: “May the Master be discovered. May we know Him. " Never! There is something higher in the world than knowing. The Greek philosophers said: "That you know the world, this is the meaning of life." No, in the world there is something higher than you know, this is that you love. In knowing there is a fear. You want to meet someone, whether he is or not, but in you there is another doubt, a hesitation. In knowing you first you want to meet someone, and then manifest. Love excludes all theory of hypothesis. In him there is no fear. I do not speak that you should exclude all theories and hypotheses, but I speak of the essence of life. In the present life, in the present conditions, in the present knowledge, you should have theories and hypotheses, but I say: if you want to reach that inner sense of life, if you want You can free yourself from the limitations of life, from that inner oppression that now exists in the world, you must love. Who? That we love God, because he is Love that is revealed to us. Therefore, we must be bearers of this Love, we must express the Love of God in the world. In this Love exactly there can be no theory, no hypothesis. When we reach this position, we will be very careful with our language. Do you know what careful language is? Do you know what noble behavior is? Someone says: Eh, that we behave nobly . I call this man with noble behaviors who will act with others as well as act and with himself. That he be so careful, that when he puts himself in a certain situation, that he respects others as well as he respects himself. Such a man is not going to talk to you about any hypotheses and theories, he won't tell you: Friend, I love you very much, I have a specific disposition, I have an opinion n high about you, I'm ready to sacrifice myself fully for you, I know your mother and father, they were eminent, noble people, etc. . Such a man will not develop these theories and hypotheses. No, friend, my friendship is not based on knowing your mother and father. This Love I carry since the most remote centuries. This Love has existed before this and that world. Before this world existed, I was nothing more. You will say: These are theories and hypotheses. Yes, for you it may be so, but for me it is not so. And I have nothing to prove to you. You will now say: Do you know what the Master said? The Master said that I exist somewhere and that I have existed before the existence of this world. No, you have to feel this existence within you, (you) you just have to experience it. If you say that you have existed before this world, you must have an equal measure towards all people. You must have towards all beings, from the smallest to the greatest, equal behaviors. And towards beetles, and towards people, and towards angels you must have equal behaviors. But you will say now that these are hypotheses. No, in the angelic world, one of the smallest fingers of an angel thinks as much as a philosopher of ours.

What will you say on top of this? You will say that this is a hypothesis. Yes, a hypothesis is this, a theory is this. Think more! That if the head can think and the finger can think. If the head can think and the spine can think, and the whole body can think. The unhappiness in us now depends on this, that only the head thinks, and the other parts of the body only feel. Consequently, all disarmament in the world is born. Therefore, we must return to that initial position in which we were. We have lost something of ourselves, and we know that when an object loses some quality of its own, it becomes soft. When a man loses his organic iron, he becomes soft. This thing is observed in all people. Anemia in people is due to this, that in them there is little organic iron. But and the reverse process is true. The accumulation of a large amount of organic iron in human blood, gives birth to a greater danger. And much is dangerous, and little is dangerous. In the blood there must be as much iron as we need. I ask then: When Magna Nature created man, what did he consider, according to our present precepts? She considered teaching him how not to be tempted. She had in mind to teach her to believe in Her Magical Laws and live as She wants. And all the sufferings in the world, even for thousands of years, as and now, are nothing but a correction of all theories and hypotheses created by man. Man in paradise created a hypothesis and theory, out of paradise he created another theory and hypothesis.

People and in the time of the prophets had hypotheses and theories; and in the time of Christ they had hypotheses and theories; and in our time they have hypotheses and theories; and in the future again they will have hypotheses and theories. And after all, people say, "This world is never going to be fixed!" They are entitled, I agree with them, but I ask: which world is never going to be fixed? - The present world, based on hypotheses and theories will never be fixed. A barrel that is made of rotten boards and rings will never be fixed. For a tree that is eaten by large worms, they say: "From this tree nothing will come out." They have the right. These worms will reap the tree. These worms are hypotheses and theories in it. Some say: "Man must doubt to become a scientist." And then everyone asks the question: "Will I live, or will I die?" I answer: You will die. If so, another temptation appears in man, another moral one. He says: “If I am going to die, at least live freely, eat and drink. Why do I have to get up early in the morning and go through the woods to work, if there is no other world, if there is no future life? Let him at least eat and drink! ”Thus man created other theories and hypotheses. He says: "There is no Lord in the world." Good, but in this solution of the question comes another confrontation. This confrontation is born on the basis of the theory that there is no other life and that is why everyone wants to "live as they should", but with this a great lack appears - this does not reach, that does not reach. Then, then, another theory appears that there is a future life. This theory has the purpose of directing people's minds towards God, so that they live a more modest life, so that there is something more left for those who want to remain in grace in life. But I say: if a faith is based on hypotheses and theories, this is not faith. And if an incredulity is based on hypotheses and theories, and this is not true. May the unbeliever be incredulous, but may this disbelief be not based on theories and hypotheses! May a man have life, but such that it is not based on theories and hypotheses! Let there be believers, but such whose life, whose faith, is not based on theories and hypotheses!

Christ says: "If your hand tempts you, cut it off and throw it away from you." Then, we have to get rid of all those lying theories we have about life, and introduce into it only that, the luminous, the Divine, which can elevate us. Now I will stop to explain where the reality of things comes from. Suppose you have an orange tree, planted in a beautiful barrel, made in a modern way. This orange tree develops well, bears beautiful fruits. I frequently go to this tree, I touch the barrel, I go around it. Imagine that this barrel has a certain awareness, some sensitivity. What would she think of herself, seeing me circling frequently around her and taking care of the tree inside? She will think that she enjoys a certain privilege in front of me and that all the respect I give to the tree is due to her. She will think that I, as I pass and look, that this is because it occupies a certain honorable place, and will not even suspect that this attention is thanks to the apple tree that is in it. She will tell herself: “If I were not prudent and eminent, I would not be in this honorable place. There is something in me for which my master has me. ”

The second position, then, is the deception in which the tree can fall. This one, seeing me circling around him, will say: "This master has this barrel just for me." No, I have this respect towards the orange, towards the fruit that will appear accordingly. The tree, in which there is consciousness, thinks that this privilege is due to him and that if he was not there, the barrel would be thrown out. The tree is entitled, but if this orange tree did not bear fruit, I would throw it out just like it would and the barrel itself. Therefore, for the fruit is everything. Tomorrow this ripe fruit and in it there is awareness and says: “If I am not in this tree, this barrel and this tree, by themselves, would not make sense, they would have been thrown out. The fruit is entitled. This is the third position that may appear in the given case. And so, the fruit says: “I am!” Yes, but if this fruit is tasteless, if he is not useful for life, I will say: “Neither the barrel, nor the tree, nor the fruit - everything was !" So? - New barrel, new orange, new fruit! I want a tasty fruit that carries the necessary juices for life. Por lo tanto, y el mundo Invisible mira de una manera tan real a nosotros. De la misma manera cada hombre ocupa estas tres posiciones dentro de sí.

Y dice Cristo: “Yo soy la vid, vosotros los pámpanos. Cada vid que no da fruto, se corta” (Juan 15:1, 5 – ndt) . ¿Este fruto para quién es? – Hay quién tendrá necesidad de este fruto. Este fruto no será para nosotros. Este fruto es para aquellos seres más elevados, más avanzados que nosotros, que gracias a este fruto ellos toman los cuidados, para que podamos nosotros desarrollarnos correctamente y vivir razonablemente en este mundo. Vosotros diréis: “Esta es una hipótesis. Yo hasta ahora no he visto a Dios. Un ángel he visto, pero a Dios – nunca”. Y a Dios has visto, y al ángel has visto, pero has sido ciego – nada más. Tú quieres percibir a Dios en una forma pequeña. No, yo digo que Dios se manifiesta en lo razonable en el mundo. Llegará el tiempo cuando toda la gente en el mundo estará viendo las manifestaciones de Dios. Hay ciertos rayos luminosos, razonables, que vienen del Sol. Podemos hacer la siguiente prueba con éstos. En el caso dado estos rayos pueden aumentar o pueden y disminuir. Cuando haremos esta prueba, veremos que entre estos rayos del sol y entre nosotros hay cierta comunicación razonable. Cada uno de vosotros puede hacer esta prueba, peo esta es una ciencia magna y profunda, la cual se entrega principalmente a éste que tiene una mente purificada y un corazón purificado. Y verdaderamente, este hombre debe llevar la mente de algún científico. La gente contemporánea científica yo los elogio en un aspecto, y exactamente en su paciencia grande. Esta es una cualidad de elogio en ellos. Un hombre científico se detiene 20-30 años enteros para estudiar un pequeño bichito. Y nosotros, la gente contemporánea religiosa, que nos ocupamos con la cuestión más magna, decimos: “¡Este trabajo no será!” – Y abandonamos esta cuestión. “¡Dad algo nuevo!” ¿Y qué es lo nuevo? – Lo nuevo que vosotros sobreentendéis, yo lo encuentro solo en esta uniformidad de la cual vuestra vida constantemente se corrompe.

Y así, la vida razonable requiere conocimientos positivos, sentimientos positivos. En los sentimientos positivos no hay angustias. Por ejemplo, yo hablo algo y alguien dice: “¿Qué quieres decirme? No te comprendo”. Tú estás enfermo, yo te doy la cura. Tú me preguntas: “¿Qué quieres decirme con esta botella?” Digo: Tú estás enfermo, desde hace tres meses estás buscando a un médico, he aquí toma esta botella, toma por tres cucharas al día de ésta. Esto es lo que quiere decirte mi botellita. “¿Pero se puede esto?” – ¡Prueba! Yo puedo decirte cómo se ha formado este medicamento, cómo actúa éste; puedo sacarte una serie de teorías e hipótesis medicinales, pero te digo: toma por tres cucharas al día, ni más, ni menos. ¡Prueba y verás el resultado! Tú tomas de este medicamento, te curas y luego dices: así ha ocurrido, así ha ordenado la Naturaleza, una coincidencia ha ocurrido. Bien, para convencernos en un hecho, nosotros debemos hacer una, dos, tres, 99 pruebas, y que entonces hablemos si ésta es cierta o no. Por lo tanto, cada hombre debe hacer sus pruebas hasta entonces, hasta que llegue a estar convencido en la veracidad de cierta posición. Y la ley, que saca de estas pruebas, debe ponerla como una regla sagrada en su vida, y que no vacile más. Cuando lleguemos a tales resultados, no hay por qué convencernos, no hay por qué vacilar, sino que escucharemos e iremos comprendiendo, como en la música. La música es un arte, un buen método, que nos muestra cómo tenemos que trabajar. Cuando llega aquel gran músico y comienza a tocar, todos reflexionan, todos escuchan y se aprovechan. Para el futuro, cuando aprendamos a hablar bonito, nuestro hablar será tan musical que cuando hablemos, sentiremos agradabilidad. Este hablar introducirá en nosotros vida y salud, y todos iremos alentándonos en lo Divino. Antes que nada debe abrirse la mente del hombre y ensancharse su corazón. Y ahora, en esta fase en la cual os encontráis, quien sea que os predique, de cualquier manera que os hable, de todas maneras tocará algún lugar enfermo. De cualquier manera que hables, por muy prudente que seas, siempre afectarás a alguien en su creencia. Nosotros tenemos que despedirnos de todas aquellas creencias que no nos han causado ningún bien, y que adquiramos una fe que no vacila – fe en un Dios, en un Señor, Quien puede introducir en nosotros aquel bien eterno que dará sentido a nuestra vida. Yo pienso que todos los creyentes, por todo el mundo, deben levantar exactamente este credo – fe en Aquel Señor magno, absoluto, Quien es el Dios del Amor. Ellos deben levantar Su bandera, poner el Amor como base de la vida y que mediante éste creen una influencia suavizante entre los ricos. Los ricos a los cuales predicamos el Amor deben hacerse razonables y repartir el exceso de su riqueza a los pobres. Los pobres pues, que estaban privados, cuando reciban el Amor, cuando reciban estos bienes, más no se van a tentar, sino que se pongan a trabajar. Por lo tanto, los pobres deben trabajar sin coacción, y los ricos deben repartir su riqueza sin coacción. Si llegamos a esta posición, que las cosas en el mundo ocurran por coacción, nosotros tendremos violencia. Entonces los pobres serán obligados a trabajar con violencia, y los ricos serán obligados a trabajar con violencia.

Hace años, en la ciudad de Nueva York, se había formado un credo político, bajo el nombre de “Tiaminijol”. Ellos eran una camarilla política la cual robaba a los ciudadanos de Nueva York por todas las reglas de la cultura. Uno de ellos da vueltas por toda la ciudad, se entera de qué ciudadanos son conocidos como grandes ricos, y les escribe por una nota: “En el lapso de cuatro días vas a depositar a tal dirección 100, 000 dólares. Escribe a otro: “Después de dos días vas a depositar a tal dirección 200, 000 dólares”. A un tercero escribe: “Después de un día vas a depositar a tal direcci n 250, 000 d lares . De un cuarto pide 300, 000 d lares, etc. Al que le conviene, que se niegue de enviar el dinero pedido encontrar todos los obst culos. Y as, durante unos cuantos a os esta gente se volvi rica, se hicieron millonarios. Finalmente apareci un predicador, le encontraban un poco chiflado, pero l dio vueltas por toda Am rica, escudri la cuesti ny despu s de esto, con toda una serie de predicaciones, saco las violencias que hac a este partido y logro elevar el esp ritu de los americanos, de producir todo un golpe de Estado contra los violentos. Esta gente se dio a la fuga por aqu y por all, por Europa, pero por fin los americanos lograron liberarse de su terror. Esto sucede en una Am rica iluminada, y qu sucede aqu en Bulgaria, esto el Se or lo sabe. Why? Todos quieren ser magnos, todos quieren vivir una vida feliz de hip tesis y teor as. Yo os pregunto: sobre la base de una de las leyes b sicas: Aquella madre que no tiene amor, da a luz a hijos? Aquel siervo que no tiene amor, sirve a su amo? Aquel soldado que no tiene amor por la patria, guerrea en el campo de batalla? Aquel empleado que no tiene amor por su trabajo, se ocupa con ste? Hoy en d a en todas partes existen robos y violencias. Why? Porque falta amor. Todo aquello bonito que existe en este mundo, esto es siempre gracias a este amor. El mundo presente es una barrica con aros muy buenos, pero las tablas est n podridas. Si las tablas se agusanan, qu ocurrir con la barrica misma? La mantequilla de sta se va a derramar. La gente presente no puede ver esta cosa. La gente dice: Hace tiempo nuestros abuelos y tatarabuelos vivieron una vida religiosa, ellos eran gente honesta . S, vuestros padres y abuelos eran gente m s honesta de lo que sois vosotros. Ellos guardaban su palabra. Vuestros padres no daban dinero con p liza, sino secretamente daban a alguien dinero y luego, cuando se acerca el tiempo de devolverlo, a este hombre no le buscan con un ujier varias veces, sino que lo trae solo. El que daba y el que tomaba el dinero, cada uno de ellos comprend a su obligaci ny por eso cada uno viv a bien. La gente presente piensa que ha llegado a ser m s prudente. No, no han llegado a ser m s prudentes. De todos los sufrimientos que la gente sufri, adquirieron una experiencia, pero la razonabilidad en ellos vendr cuando se edifiquen las nuevas condiciones de la vida. Yo no hablo de la vida externa, sino de la vida interna en nosotros. C mo ser la posici n de Inglaterra, de Francia, de Alemania, esta es una cuesti n secundaria para m, pero ahora, como existo aqu en la Tierra, para m es importante cumplir mi trabajo, de manera que un d a cuando me llamen de aqu, que est listo. Antes que nada nosotros deber amos saber que no somos miembros de esta Tierra. Como un alumno que sigue una escuela, no es miembro de esta escuela, pero sigue hasta que la termine, as somos y nosotros. Luego este alumno pasa a otra escuela, y en su lugar viene otro. Entonces, nosotros hemos llegado aqu a la Tierra como a una escuela para servir a nuestros ideales, para entrar en los dem s reinos y servir a Dios. Por lo tanto, en el mundo el Se or es amo. Y toda la gente que ahora dirige el mundo, est n solo temporalmente, un d a el Se or ya ellos les llamar . El Se or es amo de todos, y la gente presente piensa que el Se or no les llamar . No, en el mundo hay solo una magna Justicia de Dios para la cual no hay ningunas teor as e hip tesis. A toda la gente se le debe dar el derecho. Toda la gente que Dios ha enviado a la Tierra tiene el mismo derecho de vivir. A nadie le es permitido quitar al hombre los derechos que Dios le ha dado. La Justicia de Dios reside en esto, que respetemos sagradamente las magnas Leyes de Dios. Mas si queremos poner otro derecho en el mundo, nosotros seremos paganos. Tales eran y los dioses paganos. Si cumplimos las Leyes de Dios, entonces para nosotros habr solo un Dios del Amor, de la Sabiduría, de la Verdad, de la Justicia y del Bien. Este Dios mira por igual a toda la gente. Por lo tanto, cada violencia que se hace por quien sea, no es placentera a Dios. Y si Él aguanta, esto no es por debilidad. Él aguanta todas las violencias, pero y todo lo escribe. ¡Hay servidores de Dios, hay Reino de Dios! Hasta ahora toda la gente ha pensado que la Luz Divina se puede detener. No, La Luz Divina no se puede detener. El apóstol Pablo consentía en el asesinato de Esteban (Hechos 8:1 – ndt), pero cuando Esteban murió, él obligó a Pablo trabajar por él, que cumpla su trabajo. Cuando pegaron al apóstol Pablo cinco veces, él dijo: “Hermanos, con grandes sufrimientos entraremos en el Reino de Dios” (Hechos 14:22 – ndt) . Le preguntaron: “¿Es bonito que te peguen? – No, muy mal está. – Entonces otra vez no consientas en el asesinato de tus hermanos”. Él narraba los sufrimientos que había pasado por el mar entre los hermanos falsos. Sí, el mundo está lleno de hermanos falsos.

Alguna vez, cuando camino por la calle, les oigo decir: “Este con el pelo largo es un anarquista, él pervierte a la gente”. Sí, yo les pervierto y ellos les educan. Yo enseñe al mundo robar y mentir ¿no? Dicen que iba a venir un anarquista. Desde hace 8, 000 años existe un anarquista. En el mundo han sido masacradas 25 millones de personas. ¿Esto lo hizo Cristo? Desde hace 2, 000 años el anticristo está en la Tierra. Él degolla, ahorca, y todos dicen: “¡Guardaos del diablo!” Alguien pega a su mujer; algún padre echa a su hijo; algún hermano mata a su hermano, y todos dicen: “¡Guardaos del diablo!” Yo me asombro de este credo. Algunos dicen: “¿Sabes quién habla allí en este salón? ¡El diablo habla!” – dicen ellos. ¡Yo me alegro de que aquí habla el diablo y que en todas las demás iglesias habla Cristo! Sí, y cuando habló este Cristo, 25 millones de personas murieron en el campo de batalla. ¡Cuando habla este Cristo, en todas partes suceden robos, asesinatos, violencias, pues y grilletes lleva la gente! Esto puede ser religión de un pueblo, esto puede ser su aspiración, pero no os engañéis, esta no es la Enseñanza Divina. ¡No, esta no es la Enseñanza de Dios, no es la Enseñanza de Cristo! Delante de nosotros tales mentiras no pasan. Yo hablo en el nombre de Dios. Y este Dios del Cual hablo estremecerá la Tierra, y entonces conoceréis si yo hablo la Verdad o no. La Escritura dice: “¡Una vez más el Señor estremecerá la Tierra, y cada criatura viviente conocerá que hay Justicia en el mundo; cada criatura viviente conocerá que hay Sabiduría en el mundo; cada criatura viviente conocerá que hay Verdad en el mundo; cada criatura viviente conocerá que hay Amor en el mundo; cada criatura viviente conocerá que hay Virtud en el mundo!” ¡Tiene sobre qué basarse el hombre! Hermano para hermano no es lobo, mas hermano para hermano es prójimo, con el cual él puede compartir dos palabras dulces, con el cual él puede repartir su bocado de pan.

Esto que os hablo se refiere a los creyentes, esto no se refiere al mundo. El mundo que camine por su camino. Yo hablo de aquellos que predican el nombre de Cristo, de aquellos que constantemente sostienen Su cruz, de aquellos que en Su nombre lo hacen todo. Digo: ¡Que dejen de hacer ya todas estas cosas! ¡Que toda la gente por todo el mundo, no solo aquí en Bulgaria, sepa que Dios existe en el mundo, y la gente conocerá esta cosa! Dicen: “¡Sí, pero debe de haber gente lista!” No, vosotros iréis por el mundo y diréis todo a la gente. Decís: “Todavía no estamos listos”. ¿Pues cuándo estaréis listos? – No hemos crecido todavía. – ¿Pues cuándo creceréis? – No ha llegado su tiempo todavía. – ¿Quién os dijo que no ha llegado el tiempo todavía? ¿Sabéis a que se parece vuestro trabajo? Vosotros, los que me escucháis, os parecéis a aquellos dos paralíticos que yacían 20 años enteros en el hospital. Viene algún médico a revisarlos, dice: “No serán, pero dadles por lo menos de leer algún libro acerca de Dios, que se distraigan, que pase más ligeramente el tiempo”. Viene otro médico y él dice lo mismo. Yacen estos dos enfermos en sus camas y conversan entre sí: “¡Gran injusticia hay en este mundo, no hay quién ayudarnos!” Un día todo el hospital se enciende y todos tienen prisa de salvar a los enfermos más esperanzados, ya los dos paralíticos los olvidan en su habitación. Cuando les calentó un poco el fuego, ellos rápidamente saltan de sus camas y se dicen uno a otro: “¡Hermano, corramos afuera!” No notaron cómo y los dos se encontraron fuera del hospital y se dijeron: “Gloría a Dios porque se encendió el hospital para que sanemos”. Esto, donde estaban enfermos, es un resultado de sus hipótesis y teorías. Una vez olvidándolo todo, ellos salen fuera. Así será y con vosotros. Este hospital se quemará, y vosotros saltaréis fuera. El Señor no creó este mundo solo para hospitales; el Señor no creó este mundo para que la gente se cure. Dicen: “¡Eh, que haya bienhechores en el mundo, y que sea como sea!” No, el Señor no creó al mundo para bienhechores, el Señor creó al mundo solo para trabajo. Cada uno tiene que trabajar y no afanarse. ¡Una cosa sagrada es el trabajo! Cada uno que ha venido a la Tierra, tiene que trabajar con toda su conciencia, y no que se vuelva un esclavo del afán. Todos tienen que trabajar, que se faciliten la vida uno a otro y que mutuamente se ayuden. Nosotros podemos facilitar nuestra vida, de nosotros depende. Decís: ¿Cuándo vendrá Cristo? – Cuando se queme el hospital. – ¿Cuándo vendrá Cristo? – Cuando cesen todas las teorías e hipótesis. – ¿Cuándo vendrá Cristo? – Cuando dejéis de esperar a que venga un bienhechor para traerles dinero. – ¿Cuándo vendrá Cristo? – Cuando dejéis de creer que en la riqueza, en las casas, reside la felicidad. Cristo vendrá cuando nosotros concienticemos que somos Hijos de Dios, enviados a la Tierra para servirle. Cristo vendrá cuando concienticemos que somos Hijos del Amor de Dios. Cada uno que puede captar qué cosa es ser un Hijo de Dios, servir a su Padre con todo su corazón, con toda su mente, con toda su alma y fuerza, él estará listo de sacrificar toda su vida para el Dios Vivo, y cualquier cosa que ocurra en el mundo, él irá diciendo: “Hay Uno en el mundo por el Cual podemos sacrificar nuestra vida y todo lo que tenemos”. Para ningún otro debemos sacrificar nuestra vida. Si sacrificamos nuestra vida para otro, nosotros estamos del lado torcido. Esto es lo Nuevo. En nosotros debe sellarse esta idea.

Ahora, por ejemplo, vuestro padre ha partido para el otro mundo; vuestro hijo o vuestra hija han partido para aquel mundo, y vosotros me preguntáis cómo están. Un trabajo fácil es que comprendáis esto. Pero si os digo cómo podéis comunicarse con los muertos, levantaréis todo un escándalo. Diréis: “¡Cómo, cómo se atreve este hombre a engañar a la gente!” No, yo digo: No hay gente muerta en el mundo. Cuando el hombre muera, él comienza a vivir una vida esencial. Cuando yo soy un egoísta grande y pienso solo para mí mismo, entonces, exactamente, yo estoy muerto. Pero hasta el grado que yo entro en los sufrimientos de la demás gente; hasta el grado que yo siento que los sufrimientos de la demás gente se infunden en mi alma; hasta el grado que yo siento su llamado, capto su necesidad y quiero ayudarles en esta situación, hasta tal grado solo yo comprendo que vivo, que soy un organismo vivo, que en el último día el Señor me resucitará. ¡Este día está cerca, muy cerca! Vosotros estáis sentados y decís: ¿Qué tan cerca? – Muy cerca está, pero no os voy a decir qué tan cerca está. Para determinar esta cercanía, yo me voy a servir como unidad de medida con la rapidez de vuestro pensamiento. La gente científica, como medida para medir la rapidez, se sirven con la rapidez de la luz, pero la rapidez del pensamiento es más grande que la rapidez de la luz. Por lo tanto, este día está muy cerca para todos aquellos cuyo pensamiento es rápido; y para aquellos cuyo pensamiento es tardo, los que duermen, este día para ellos está muy lejos. Ellos esperarán, a lo mejor, miles y miles de años más, y para los demás, cuyo pensamiento se mueve rápido, pronto vendrá este día.

Cristo dice: “En el día postrero Yo les resucitaré” (Juan 6:40 – ndt) . ¿A quiénes? – A los que se mueven con esta rapidez. Esto ahora es el lado poético del versículo, y el credo es que el Espíritu de Dios vive en nosotros, y cada uno de nosotros debe estar consciente de que es un ciudadano del magno Reino de Dios, y que sienta alegría y gozo dentro de sí, que no dude. ¡Luchad todos con la duda, echadla fuera de vuestra alma! De golpe no vais a vencerla. Largos años más lucharéis con la duda y la tentación, pero finalmente las venceréis. A vuestro rostro vendrá aquella luz suave, sabréis que Dios vive en vosotros. Entonces cada uno de vosotros llevará lo Nuevo. ¡Llevadlo, trabajad, pero que cada semillita caiga a su sitio! Yo miro, algún poeta ha escrito algo, le pregunto: ¿Por qué no imprimes algo de tus versos? – No los he terminado todavía. No, cada verso por sí mismo está terminado. Muchos poetas han dejado solo un verso en su vida. Pues ¿sabéis vosotros quién es este poeta el que ha escrito la frase “ Dios es Amor ”? Esto no fue dicho por Dios. Dios no ha dicho para Sí Mismo que es Amor. ¡Sería ridículo que yo me decante por mí mismo! Aquel, el que ha escrito esta frase, él solo ha probado que Dios es Amor. Esta palabra siempre introduce en el alma humana más fuerza que cualquier otra palabra. Cuando el hombre está afligido y pronuncia esta frase, este verso introduce vida en él. Entonces, hay Uno que puede introducir en ti fuerza. Entonces, hay Uno que durante todos los tiempos, durante todas las culturas del pasado y hoy, en cualquier posición que te encuentres, solo Él está en vigor de ayudarte.

Y ahora vosotros tenéis que esperar a Este Señor del Amor. Él es, quien puede elevaros y resucitaros. Y dice la Escritura: “Que resucite el Señor y que se dispersen Sus enemigos”. ¿Qué se comprende bajo las palabras “que resucite el Señor”? ¿Dónde está el sentido de estas palabras? Bajo estas palabras se comprende la multitud. Cuando el Señor resucite en cada uno de nosotros, entonces se dispersarán Sus enemigos. Las palabras “que resucite el Señor” no se refieren al Señor que está vivo. Ahora todos esperan que resucite en alguna parte el Señor y que se dispersen Sus enemigos. Él ha resucitado, pero en nosotros debe resucitar el Señor, y para que resucite el Señor en nosotros, nosotros somos los ángeles en la Tierra, los que debemos remover la placa de piedra que está en el sepulcro de nuestro Señor. Esto es lo que y vosotros debéis hacer ahora. Tú has puesto una placa de piedra muy grande en el sepulcro de tu Señor, Él toca por dentro y te dice: “¡Abre, quita esta placa de piedra!” Vosotros decís: “¡Señor, espera un poco más, yo todavía no he terminado mis asuntos!” ¡Y este Señor vuestro de nuevo se acuesta, yace tres días enteros, largos días, pesados! Yo digo: ¡Levántate, abre esta placa de piedra! Entonces los ángeles dirán: “¡He aquí un servidor digno, un Hijo del Dios Vivo, que puede abrir la puerta de su Padre!” Pues ¿no es esto honra? Cuando el padre viene, que el hijo se apresure para abrirle. Yo lamento a aquellos hijos que esperan que el padre, solo, abra su puerta. El hijo inmediatamente debe saltar, que abra la puerta de su padre y que diga: “¡Padre, mande!” Estos son los hijos que tienen que abrir las placas de piedra del sepulcro de su Dios.

Todos nosotros debemos saltar, abrir la puerta de nuestro Padre y decir: Entra, Se or, solo T eres el nico que trae bendici n para Sus hijos!

Cristo dice: Yo y mi Padre vendremos, haremos una morada en vosotros y nos manifestaremos a vosotros (Juan 14:21 ndt) . Estos son los magnos verbos, las magnas Verdades que introducir n libertad en el mundo.

Y as, si tu mano te tienta, c rtala de ti, rechaza de ti esta tentaci n!
