“In India, people are very simple and pure. Many of the Masters are married, have wife and children; sometimes don’t have children. But they also revere the wife of the Master. They don’t criticize, say, ‘Oh, Master, why have a wife?’ In most of the cases, the Master had a wife before becoming a Master. So, if the Master was not home, they came and sat in front of the wife of the Master, also looking at her for a Darshan. ‘Darshan’ means looking at the Master, reverently. And not just married, but some other instances, like the Master has an assistant, like Sri Aurobindo, as an example. Sri Aurobindo had a French female assistant, and they, the disciples, the followers also revered her and called her ‘Holy Mother.’” … “OK. I like those that are warm in the winter, cool in the summer and eco-friendly.” “Wow. Eat everything. The kitchen will be very happy. That means a compliment. Thank you. See you.”

Our lives are governed by many things. Not just the food we eat or the water we drink. The moon and stars and all other planets also have influence on us. When we are initiated, and practice the Quan Yin Method, it’s a little better. Only the celestial body that’s near us can influence us some. But if we practice diligently, then only karma of the past, meaning the karma that we have to pay in this lifetime, can influence us. Other celestial bodies cannot. But we still can be influenced by many things if we don’t practice enough. Even the food we eat. Even if the Master is free from all the influences, from what He / She eats or does, it’s still the disciples’ karma and disciples’ influence by other factors that still can influence the Master as well. So, many things we eat are making trouble for our lives as well. It’s even the fresh grapes, the black ones, or the purple ones. They will evoke some karma from the past life, or from this lifetime, from your previous enemies. It depends on what kind of enemies you have. It might not evoke the enemy’s revenge of harming you if it is long, many lifetimes before, but some lifetimes near to you, maybe five lifetimes before this life.

“It’s not easy to have always smooth sailing in your life because many things influence you. Because you practice, so you feel your life is much better; a lot of miracles happen. Big things become small; big trouble becomes small, small trouble becomes none, and this is OK, very good.” “Just try to meditate more, to counter all these obstructions and trouble in your life.” “Just recite the Five (Holy) Names, thank all involved, visible and invisible, for your beautiful food. Let it nourish your body and your spiritual body. Say like that, ‘thank you’ and eat, in all love and faith.” “Some of the food is also poisonous. Every time you feel not easy, meditate not well, or something bad happens, then maybe next time don’t eat. So, this is a problem with our world. It’s not because you eat vegan and then you’re guaranteed a smooth sailing all your life, 24/7. So, we eat vegan because we are compassionate. We try to minimize suffering wherever we can.” “So, even if you eat vegan, you try to eat just enough. Try to eat just enough, 80%, and then another 10% water; the rest is for the Light.” Betw
