I’m the happiest when I can be alone. And do meditation and research into the deepest corners of the Universe. That makes me very, very happy, and I feel good, feel healthy, happy, pretty and free. Yes. How about you? […] (Thank You so much for everything.) You’re welcome. For what? […] (It’s so much beyond anything I can imagine. And You’re suffering so much, and doing so much for everyone and the Universe.) […] You’re welcome. (Thank You, Master.) When you suffer, it seems like time passes very slow. But afterwards, it feels like nothing anymore. You forget it. And then you feel happy again. […]
Does it taste good, guys? (Yes. Very good.) OK? Really? OK. What else do we have to offer you? Since you are the “firstborn” here, I want to spoil you a little bit. You all look good. You all look very loveable. You all look very, very… the kind of people I like to receive here. (Thank You.) I feel like that. Well, until maybe you open your mouth later. I’m not sure. At the moment, it seems very kind, very nice. I enjoy it very much. So maybe just eat the (vegan) cake and keep it then. Or take a (vegan) candy and keep sucking it, and don’t take the candy out. All the time like that. Whenever we have a retreat, the first batch always feels nice. I don’t know why. I guess lucky ones – that could just go like that. And that means you are good, means you deserve it. You understood everything I said? (Yes.)
OK. Where from? Since we have nothing to do. Where from? Where from? (Germany-France, just near the border.) England, I know. Doctor. Are you still working as a doctor? (No, no.) No more? (I left work a few years ago.) Retired? (Retired 10 years now.) So, what do you do now? (Still, I do some work now and then. And translating…) Oh, no, no; I don’t mean that. OK, good, good. Behind. What did you say? (Czech Republic.) Czech Republic! Oh, they are all handsome and beautiful. I’ll go there. All Czech? (Yes.) How many? One, two, three, four? (Yes.) OK, very good! Good, good, good. Germany is also very nice; I can recommend it. Actually, German husbands are very nice. German men are very nice – well, the one I knew.
No, actually, when I was in Thailand, I met some people through a disciple, and they introduced a bank for me to put some money in. Because I’ve learned my lesson: that without a name in the bank, without a credit card, you’re nobody; you can’t even tank [up] your car. I learned that lesson in America. I told you already. So, I put some money in there, and they introduced the people who worked in the bank – just friends of one of the disciples in Thailand. And they kept talking about their bank and all that, and they said their boss was a German. And he is absolutely so good to his wife, so kind, so nice. I don’t know how good he was. They were just gaga over him, over the boss, because he was such a good man, good husband. And they were all planning to get a husband from Germany, dead or alive.
No, a long time ago, I was… And so I told them, “Yeah, I can say from my experience that German husbands are very, very nice. Really, no complaints.” But why do we talk about that? Oh gosh. A German, German. Not you, no. Don’t have the wrong idea. What is it? (It depends. Sometimes French…) French are also nice? (I live in… Yes.) You live in France? (But I meditate in Germany, for example.) I don’t know French people. So that’s why I can only talk about the one I knew. (So, at the moment, it’s better I’m German.) You’re German.
And because we were talking in Thailand and the other people also said that German husbands are very nice. I also knew another one. Also a doctor, German doctor. Imagine, when I was younger – when I was, I don’t know, under 30 – I knew a family. The husband was a doctor, but due to some illness or something, he didn’t work anymore. He retired or something like that, but he didn’t look ill. Maybe if he was a surgeon and his hand was not stable, then he could not. But he didn’t look ill. He looked very handsome and nice and polite, everything. And his wife fell in love with a Hungarian musician. Na, na, na, na, na! And then she wanted him to come over. He was in the house together with her husband and children and all.
He was single, but she was already older, maybe 40-something, 50. And she openly… an open affair anyway. The husband knew about it. They even asked me to marry the guy so that he could come over. At that time, it was still communism, and I was British. They offered to pay me 5,000 Deutschmarks. That was a lot of money at that time. You know, huh? When I was 20-something, it was mucho dinero (a lot of money), no? A lot. I said, “No!” I just said no. And they said, “Why?” I said, “Just no.” First of all, maybe I’d get married later. I didn’t want to mess up like that. And at that time, I thought marriage was something sacred. You have to marry just when you fall in love. And I wasn’t very keen on the wife getting the boyfriend right in front of the nose of the husband. And I wasn’t agreeing with that, so I said, “No.” I don’t know what happened – a long time ago already. I just wanted to tell you how kind a German husband is. But don’t listen to me. Depends on your luck, right? And your affinity. Not everybody can just jump into Germany and get one and carry him home to Hungary or something.
Czech, and then you? (US.) US. OK. This guy’s from the US, too, huh? No? (Norway.) Norway! Ah, yeah, yeah. OK. And you? America? (Germany.) Germany also? You look really like a German. More than you. Everybody? (Singapore.) Singapore. All three? (Hong Kong.) Hong Kong. Hallo. So beautiful. And you? (Finland.) Finland. (I belong to the German group; I’m from Austria.) Austrian and German. Just because I said Germans are good, you don’t have to. It’s just because I don’t know Austrian people. OK? I was in Germany, so everything we talked about was German – about German people, German friends. But if I were to live in Austria, I would have also liked your country very much. Your country is one of the top ten. One of the best places to stay: stable, peaceful, and prosperous, secure. Everybody is happy there. It should be very good. You speak German, I know that, but you don’t have to jump into the German group because… This is funny. In that case, I’m also German, because I married a German. I speak German too.
Alright. So, where… you… Estonia? (Yes, but I have been living in Finland now for over 10 years.) Yeah, you told me that. And you’re still there? (Yes.) Still have that good job? No? Well, I have gone further. Me and sister we are both working in a research field. We’re both there. Still do research? Same job or different job now? (Same job.) Good job? (Yes.) OK. Good. Scientific? (Yes.) Oh! (Cancer research.) Scientists. What? (Cancer research.) Cancer research, oh! It’s not my cup of tea. And you, you, you? (Germany.) Germany. Ah! Very German. Everybody wishes they had come from Germany now. Yeah? (Germany.) Germany. You got fat now, you. (Yes?) Yeah, a little bit.
(Italy.) Italy, oh yeah? (I’m Swiss, but…) You live in Italy. (Yes.) You should say you’re German because Swiss is... They also speak German in Switzerland, no? Alright, never mind. Good. (Norway.) Norway. (Hungary.) Hungary. (But I live in Austria.) Oh! German group, OK, OK. (Hungary.) Hungary. You speak German, too? Because you live there. (A little bit. I’m learning, actually.) Why? How long have you lived there? (One year, only one year.) What do you do there? (I help with my husband-to-be’s business.) Oh, I see! And then if you want to be my attendant, what to do with the business and the husband? (I help a little bit.) You what? (I help a little bit there, so maybe I can help more here.) I see, understand. OK, you can stay here for a while, see how you do. You speak English well, huh? (Yes, I do speak English.) Very good!
And you? England? (Germany.) Germany? Are you sure? OK. How many Germans? Just raise your hands. I don’t want to keep asking because everybody would... Just show me your ID when you raise your hand. Just joking; I believe you, of course. Germany, huh? Germany, huh? No, huh? Czech, huh? Czech-many, huh? And everybody else? America? (France.) Huh? (France.) France? France? (Yes, France.) Two France. (Malaysia.) Malaysia. (I stay in Singapore.) Singapore. (China. China, Beijing.) China, Beijing, wow! (Formosa [Taiwan].) Taiwan? Ah, Formosa. (Korea.) Korea. Good. OK, very good. Congratulations, United Nations. It’s good that we now and then get together.
Is there anything special you want me to do for you? Any questions you want to ask? You’re free. The first group always asks good questions, so, I don’t mind. No, really! Good experience like that. The first group is always happy, happy. And always asks very nice questions, I mean not too stupid questions. It’s really like that. No questions? No curiosity? Nothing? I count to three and if you don’t, then I am… “Andiamo (Let’s go).” One! Two and a half! (Master, how are You?) I’m good. Oh, that’s the question? I’m OK. I’m very happy when I can meditate more. Very happy with my life. I’m the happiest when I can be alone. And do meditation and research into the deepest corners of the Universe. That makes me very, very happy, and I feel good, feel healthy, happy, pretty and free. Yes. How about you? You’re good? That’s it, that’s your question?
(Thank You so much for everything.) You’re welcome. For what? What is it that you thank me for? (For everything.) Like what? What did I do for you? (It’s so much beyond anything I can imagine. And You’re suffering so much, and doing so much for everyone and the Universe.) Do I look like suffering now? (No, not now, but we know.) That was the past. You’re welcome anyway. You’re welcome. (Thank You, Master.) When you suffer, it seems like time passes very slow. But afterwards, it feels like nothing anymore. You forget it. And then you feel happy again. So, no problem. Alright? Wow. But when you suffer, [you] really suffer, [it’s] not nice. Not nice. But I get over it very quickly, very quickly, like nothing happened, really, very fast. Because there’s some new thing coming anyway, so you can’t keep remembering the thing that happened last time. Always new things. Is that your question? (No, I don’t have a question, but I don’t want You to go away!) Ah, that’s what it is! Just two and a half, and then everybody keeps… OK, don’t worry. Then I sit and meditate with you. That’s all, no problem. Just in case you have any questions or anything you want to know, you can ask me.
