It’s too much for you, too much. I meant that God gave us diamonds and gold so that we could use them to help other people. So, I said I use diamonds. I use gold and money. But I’m not dependent on or attached to money or diamonds. This is different. […] For example, if I don’t make money, every time I come to see you, you’d have to pay at least US$20,000 for me and my group on air tickets. Transportation. Blah, blah. Yeah. Every time you want to see me. Every time you see me. For example. And here you have a house for me. It’s good. It’s less cost. But if I stay in a hotel – oh là là! Yes. You see? And I have to go to restaurants to eat, and all those things. And take a taxi, and all the transportation. Everything, and equipment, all kinds of things. So, you see? Because I’m detached from money, I must make money.
So now you see? You can see the difference between attachment and duty. We must know our duty. We don’t have to wait for anybody else to tell us. I know already before you have to tell me. If you have to always pay for me like that, even if you want to, where do you get the money? You are an ordinary person. You earn very little every month. Enough for your family. If I always burden you with my expenses, how do we do it? How can we work? Even if you love me so much, but love doesn’t produce money. That won’t work. I even feel as if you love me very much. But love does not produce money. Sometimes it does. But you cannot extract money from love. Yes. We must not abuse love. Never, never. Love should always stand alone, without any diamond, gold, money attached. Love is only shiny alone. Everything else is by the way.
I love you. You love me. It’s OK. But your property is yours. It does not becme mine. OK? Of course, you will say, “Oh, I offer everything to Master.” OK, but only inside. Only inside. So that you’re not attached to the money. And should you lose it or should somebody abuse and take it away, you say, “OK, it’s Master’s money. Whatever Master wants to do with it, it’s alright.” So, when you give it away, you don’t feel very hurt inside because it belongs to the Master, things like that. But not that the Masters takes things from you, for any little thing or big thing. Yeah? That’s good? Next time you have a notebook, and you write kurz (shorthand), small, and then you will always remember. OK? Because sometimes I talk, I forget the inspiration. If I talk one sentence, it’s like very choppy. Like you’re chopping vegetables in your kitchen. It’s not so smooth.
OK. I think I told you everything that you already know. But as an excuse, we sit together and talk. (One should not love one’s possessions so much.) Yes, yes. One should not love one’s possessions that much. Afterwards you don’t take it with you, of course not. But then one should also not have no possessions. Because if we don’t have it, then we have to rely on other people. (Yes.) That’s the only reason. Otherwise, if we can take care of ourselves, we don’t have to earn too much money. It depends. One or two persons, it’s alright. If one or two persons, it’s alright. But for me, as a teacher, and when I go everywhere, I go too often. And I take many people. And then I must take care that I don’t overburden you with my expenses.
Because I should come to you as a friend. Just to see you, talk to you. And not that you have to offer anything to me because our friendship should stay pure, unconditional. And that is the way I think. That’s why I became a very modern Master. A modern Master. I am like a businesswoman. I earn a lot of money. I wear beautiful things and I’m free for you. I’m free only for you. Really. Because I don’t talk to outside people that much. I don’t go out dining and partying. I don’t often. No. Except for exceptional occasions, for the sake of doing some work for God. Otherwise, I don’t go… All my time is for you, for the initiate-people. That’s why I’m free. Free for you.
She’s probably very tired. (Yes, yes, but I have a problem. I have a husband at home, and I have already lengthened my stay, and I said I would go with the last train, and I’m so very sorry, but you said, we have to live in harmony with our family.) Yes. Go, go, go. (And so, this is a great sacrifice.) It’s OK, OK. Go. (The more so because he...) Where do you stay? (Near the Czechoslovakian border in the Bavarian Forest. And I have to go….) Anybody go there? (No, I have to take the S-Bahn and then the train.) Oh! (And then I have to drive home with my car.) ([If] we phone him [can] you stay till tomorrow?) (Well, I don’t think this would be correct, because I phoned him already once, and he is not well.) Don't worry. (And so, I think I have to sacrifice this.) Go. Please. Please go. Please. (Thank You very much.)
Send him my love and fruits. Give something for him. Give all. Everything. Take it. (What? Everything?) Yes, everything. Here you go. (Many thanks.) Give my love. OK? No problem. Sorry that nobody can drive you. Otherwise, it should be like that. It’s too far? (It’s very far.) OK. Go with God. OK. That’s it. I think we have spoken enough. (He’s driving her.) Oh, yeah? To train station at least. OK. Come. Come. Come. Madam, please. You know where to go, right? Is it very far? Oh, that takes four hours. It doesn’t matter? OK, if she wants. You can speak to her until then. Come. But I think I have spoken enough and I’ll see you tomorrow. Alright? (I think I know now.)
Oh, by the way, just one more problem. Because we were talking about beauty and stuff like that. One thing I have forgotten, I wanted to say, and then everything else came and I forgot. Like, for example, why I change my clothes all the time? So that it also doesn’t become like a uniform. Because many people don’t wear monks and nuns [robes,] don’t shave their heads, but they wear the same clothes all the time. It is the same, and I would not like people to imitate me and to make this life a monotone, a boring place to live. Everybody is white or everybody is black, because look at God. Does Hes make everything white? Does Hes make everything black? No. All kinds of colors. So, we are free to express ourselves. Monday, we feel white, then we wear white. Tuesday we want to be incognito, we wear black or cover ourselves. It doesn’t matter, as long as we are always with God and move with the rhythm of the Universe, then everything we do is perfect. We are free to express our inner feeling and appreciation. And as long as we move with the rhythm of the Universe and know God all the time, everything we do is perfect.
Of course, you translate very beautifully. But you must know, sometimes I talk like poetry. So, when you translate only the word and you don’t translate as poetry, you lost some flavor. That’s all. But otherwise, you’re doing very well. Not always, but I talk like poetry many times. And when I do that, please try to go with the rhythm. Otherwise, she’s good. Very good. Thank you very much, madam. So, with this and love and well wishes, I’ll see you tomorrow. And thank you for the beautiful party. Do that often for my neighbor and for my German people.
