Maharaji in Barcelona PWK-014 2007-03-04
Lengthy applause greeted Maharaji which required a lot of hand-flapping to quieten the crowd. He wished the audeince Happy New Year though it was March 4th and he said it was spring in India but there was no spring i, his step, yet. He started slowly.
Maharaji always confuses "More people are listening to this message than ever on this planet Earth" with "It is possible for more people to listen to this message than ever on this planet Earth but they're not really." He does this deliberaatley for cheat and deceit. It is strange but true that most of his listeners, who are his early 1970s "hippie" faithful core of followers, know its not true as they see how few new people ever appear at these speeches and how they've slowly but surely become older, fatter and greyer over 50 years whil Maharaji has regularly reminded them that they'll all die alone one day.
those who just end up doing everything, they're going to love it
There's only one who can tell you about right now. And that is the mark of the real Master.
Maharaji in Barcelona, PWK-014, 4th March 2007
So, happy New Year, I know it's March. And once again, the spring is here. Yesterday, in India, they celebrated the first day of spring, Holi. And somehow, once again, on the face of this earth, the cycle continues. What we sometimes forget, and it's not a question of sometimes, most of the time, what is the variable and what is permanent? There is a beautiful saying by Kabir that this illusion, this Maya, it doesn't die. This mind that goes after the illusion, it doesn't die. What dies is you. The hopes, they die. The wants, the desires, the lusts, they die. What dies is you.

So when I first heard this, I was like, what? But then it, of course, made sense that here we are, we're on this boat that's going down this river, and somehow we have convinced ourselves, how, I know, but we have convinced ourselves that the boat is not moving. And every time we look up, we see the scenery changing, and we say to ourselves, amazing, the earth is moving. Look at all those trees, they're moving. Look at all those houses, they're moving. Because surely, surely, the boat that I am in is not moving. So here we are, on the face of this earth, and we're trying to conquer the grand illusion, the maya.
According to Kabir, "it'll go on." It'll be there as a trap for other ones, far after you've gone. All the things that we are trying to conquer, all the things that we are trying to stop, because there are people, there are people into, you know, conquer the mind. And it is the mind that says, "Conquer me, try." And people race off in trying to conquer, which will be here. All this that you so desperately want to get on top of will be here. The only thing that won't is here. You are the variable. It's not the trees that are moving. It's not the houses that are moving. You are moving. And that's the truth. You like it, but that is the truth.
What have we done? We have tried to explain away everything. We want explanations. We want to explain what God is. Not too long ago, I think about three, four days ago, I was having an interview with a magazine guy from Mauritius. And he was saying, you know, there are so many explanations. I said, yes, there are. And who is considered good? The one who can come up with the best explanation. And people want to explain God. People want to explain life. People want to explain what is good. People want to explain what is truth. People want to explain what is salvation. And these are the things that can be felt, but not explained. You cannot explain it. You cannot explain what life is. You need to feel. You cannot explain breath. You need to breathe it. You cannot explain water. If you are thirsty, you need to drink it. You cannot explain food. If you are hungry, you need to eat it. There are some things, maybe in life, they can be explained. How does an airplane fly? This can be explained. How does the building stay up? It can be explained. How does the bulb come on? It can be explained. But what does this existence mean to you? It cannot be explained. It can only be felt. And if you understand that, if you just understand, then a whole different door opens up to you. Then you begin to understand, not through explanations, but by feeling the preciousness of this life, the joy, the truest responsibility, to be in gratitude to that most magnificent power that has made it possible for you to be alive. Not one minute, not five minutes, not 10 minutes, but to actually feel in this life the eternal gratitude, because that's what means to be alive.
Not doubt, not confusion, that's not being alive, not pain, not suffering, not misery, not darkness, but being alive means to be crystal clear. Not sorrow and lamenting and wishing. Wishing? Let me ask you a question. How long have you been wishing for? I know. You have been wishing since you were very young. And did you not at the end of each wish, at the end of each wish, kind of tell yourself that if this came true, this is it. No more. And when has that happened? When? Even when the wish came true, did you stop wishing? No. A new wish. Two young people wishing that they would meet the ideal partner. Boy wishing he would meet the perfect girl. The girl wishing she would meet the perfect guy. That would be it. That's it. That's all I want. So they meet. Ah, new wish. Meet again. Meet again.
You know, in your life, it has not been like your wishes haven't come true. Actually, if you look back in your life, more wishes have come true than you even care to remember. But you never were careful about what you wished. Just wish, wish, wish, wish, wish, wish. And boom, they come true. They come true. They come true. They come true. Amazing, huh? How many wishes? How many wishes have come true? Amazing. Amazing. But what did you wish for? Did you wish for contentment? No. You used your wishes to try to be content the way you thought contentment is gotten. Wrong. Wrong. Because you explained to yourself. You explained to yourself that if I had a car instead of a scooter. No, first, actually, you were on your what I call number 11 bus. You're on your feet. Go here, there, everywhere. Your legs. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. And this, you were healthy. You were. Walk, walk, walk.

And then, what did you wish for? I wish I had a bicycle. Then I could get quicker. So now you got a bicycle, but now you had a problem. Somebody had to steal the bicycles and this is not good. So you have to buy a lock and key. And it's so easy when it's raining and you're walking. You find a place somewhere dry and you just pull over, stand underneath, and that's it. If you have a bicycle. What do I do with it? So you didn't wish then, but once you realized the bicycle was no good. What did you wish for? You did not wish to have the bicycle taken away. No, no. You wish for a scooter. Then everything will be fine. Now, of course, you have a scooter, then you have a helmet, then you fall down, you break your elbow. More problems. But did you wish for the scooter to be taken away? No. Now you want a car. And by the time you get your car, you even forget why you needed a car.
But now you have a car. And all the problems, get your driver's license, get your insurance, make the payments, keep the car clean. But when you were wishing, when you were wishing for your car, your car never needed gasoline. When you were wishing for your car, your car never needed maintenance, never needed spare tires, never had any problems. It was the perfect car that just ran and ran and went much faster than humanly possible. And everything, it was never hot, never cold. It was perfect temperature because it is all in the imagination. And what have you imagined for yourself? Unfortunately, you've even imagined your own God. How God should be. With a little help from many little friends who whisper in your ear, God is like this and God is like that, you have imagined God. Oh, and not only have you imagined God, you have imagined your whole life of how it's going to be. Haven't you? Haven't you? In your imagination, you have this perfect, perfect, perfect, just like your car. Never needs gasoline, temperature is always perfect, never breaks down, never needs washing, never needs waxing, does not need parking space. And so in your imagination is liberation of what liberation means. And in your imagination is this entire existence and of what it means.
And day after day after day, this monster that you have created in your imagination could never survive, could never survive, but you keep feeding it with explanations. And every day you have to explain what happened. Every day you have to explain what it means to be alive. Every day you have excuses of why you were unable to feel gratitude, of why you lived another day unconsciously, of why, of all that that you know in your heart of hearts that is good, you stayed away from it. And another day, another day, another day, another day. And before you know it, before you know it, you run out of days. And then you know, you know all that you should have done. Now you know. Now you know. Now you finally know without doubt of all that you should have done. But you have the means to do it. Shocking. Shocking, isn't it? And people have explanations for that too. Life is cruel. Oh, it's okay. I'll come back. I'll come back. I'll be back. How do you know? Oh, no, no, I know, I know. How? How do you know?
You see, it is very important to have memory. Memory, memory, it's very important to have memory. It's like, if you have an iPod, first you need to know if it is yours or not. You cannot just pick up somebody's iPod and go, where's my music? Well, if it's not your iPod, it's not going to have your music on it. It's very important to remember, remember. Otherwise, you know if this is your house. You know if this is your car. Am I wearing somebody else's watch? Or is this mine? Is this my jacket? My shoes? You look in the mirror and you go, who's that? No. I mean, imagine you walk into the bathroom. You look in the mirror, early in the morning, huh? Early in the morning, you walk into the bathroom, you look in the mirror and go. I mean, how will you sit down on the toilet and sit and go, somebody else in this bathroom? Who's really going, me or somebody else? And when you go from this world, this is severed. That's it. And of course, then if you remembered everything, then you will have that predicament because you will go up to the mirror and go, that's not me. I used to look like this and this and I had a mole here and my nose was different and you will never feel comfortable with yourself. Who am I? That is not me. So, this explanation, coming back, it's not so good. Oh, but we have proof. This one guy, no proof.
This, he just claims. People go, people go into certain parts of the mountains around India and they are told, oh, you were an elephant. And the explanation eater eats this. The explanation eater eats this and goes, oh, good, thank you. Of course, the explanation eater doesn't think. So what? So what? Why are you telling me about my last lifetime? If you really dare, tell me about tomorrow. See, that's what I would do. I would go to these guys and I used to do this. Drove this pundit nuts. Absolutely bananas. I mean, he dreaded me for that. Because I would go up to him. In our household, my mother, she decided we had to have a pundit. So we had a resident pundit. I would go up to him and I would say, so what's gonna happen tomorrow? Are we gonna get a test? I would fry him, completely fry him. Because then I'd come the next day and I would say, it didn't happen. You were wrong. It's easy to tell me about my last lifetime. Any idiot can do it. Because there's no way to prove it. Now if you really think you've got something, tell me about tomorrow. What's gonna happen? What time am I gonna wake up? Which toothpaste I'm gonna use? And if you've really got intelligence, then tell me about yesterday. And tell me about tomorrow. Tell me about right now.
Tell me about what is really happening right now. There's only one who can tell you about right now. And that is the mark of the real Master.
Telling you about tomorrow is a guessing game. Telling you what you were in your last lifetime is total nonsense. But telling you what is happening in this moment, that the breath has come into you and it's going and it's coming and you're alive. nd because you're alive, of all the feelings that you can feel, there is one that is the most supreme and that is called joy. And of all the states that you can be in, there is one state which is the most supreme and that is the state of clarity. And of all things that you can have in this moment, there is one that is the most supreme that you can have and that is that contentment, that peace. And that's the possibility. That is the reality. That is your reality. It is not an explanation. It's not an explanation. It is not. It is reality that you feel, you feel in your life and the possibility to feel every single day, not once, not twice, but every single day, every single moment for the rest of the journey, the rest of the journey.

There are four elements, three Pillars and one foundation. The three Pillars are the practice of Knowledge, participation, and listening. One thing that is going to be happening this year is you're going to hear a lot about participation. A lot. And not only hear a lot about participation, but have opportunities in a totally different way to be able to participate. Something very exciting. The fourth element on which these three Pillars stand are glued to is the Master. Now, people in their day, people in their lives, they wonder why is listening important? Why is listening important? Because you won't hear what I just told you a little while ago anywhere else.
Nobody has the guts to tell you that. You know, if the whole city is full of cats, what will you hear? Am I wrong? And if the whole city is full of dogs, what will you hear? That's how it is. You have to be a genius to figure that out. Do you? You live next to an airport, what will you hear? Airplanes. You live next to a freeway, what will you hear? Cars. You live close to a hospital, what will you hear? Sirens. You have to be a genius to figure that out. So when you live in the world of explanations, what will you hear? More explanations. What else are you gonna hear? And what I am telling you is more explanations is not what you need. What you need is real water to quench your thirst, not another explanation of water.
What you need is real food to satisfy your hunger, otherwise you're gonna go hungry from here. Now, everybody stopped when I said that. Do you have to be a genius to figure that out? If you're hungry and you went to the restaurant which was full of food, but you didn't eat anything and you left, you're gonna still be hungry. Because to satisfy your hunger, it is not about explanations. It's not about ideas. It is not being close, close to food. But I was so close to food. Can you imagine if that was the case that hungry people would lean on the restaurants? And would be satisfied? This is great. Ah, good, now I am refreshed. World's hunger problem would have been solved a long time ago, wouldn't it? You put cake in a clear plastic cup and you hold it. You close your eyes and you focus on the food. And then you pass it to the guy next to you. He closes his eyes and he focuses on the food and his hunger is gone. So now he's happy, you are happy, and the cup is intact and you pass it on to somebody else and somebody else and somebody else and the food problem will disappear. But this we can do. you think so? you think that tomorrow we can begin on the project to eliminate food by taking a slice of bread, wrapping it in saran wrap and letting people pass it from one to the other to the other. Hold it for, and you know, let's be reasonable. Let them really feel the bread. So we'll give everybody two minutes. And if they want they can flip it. See, I knew I would come up with the solution to the hunger problem of this world. There it is. But that won't work, will it? As genius as that solution is, it won't work. It's stupid.
The solution, amazing. Ideal, incredibly high to get rid of the hunger in the world, but it has nothing to do with reality. Because the reality we need to eat. Not hold, not focus, not look, not dance, not throw up in the air, not imagine. All of these things that we do are no good when it comes to that real hunger. And that's why it won't work. It's a simple idea, but it won't work. So we know it won't work there. Why will it work somewhere else? Why would it work in the inner realm? Why? Is the hunger for peace an illusion? Or is it real? The hunger to be content, is it an illusion? Or is it real? Very good question. And the answer is, it's not an illusion. It's very, very, very real. That is every single human being on the face of this earth. And has been an issue since time immemorial. And what people have done is learn how to evade the issue. Not to tackle it, to evade it. And here I am. Telling you, telling everyone who will listen to me, you need to evade it. Peace is real. Joy is real. Contentment is real. And here, this Knowledge is the way you can get to it. And there is no question about it. None. It's been proven again and again and again and again. To work. Year after year, generation after generation. Of course, like anything else, those who have applied it in their lives, they have gotten more than they could ever imagine. And those who have not applied it in their lives, have gotten nothing.

Standing at the door of a jewelry store is not going to make you rich. You know, there's a security guard at some of the jewelry stores. They stand there day and night. That doesn't make them any rich. Why are you there? Look at the warden. Do you think the warden suffers like the prisoners? I mean, he's in prison too. It's not the same. Apply it today and you will get no questions about it. People used to think, what do I know? What do I know? I'm too young. Everywhere I went, what does he know? Well, this year I'm going to be 50. I do know. And I've been doing it and doing it and talking to people about it. This is real. And take my word for it. Find out for yourself, whoever you are.
I know there's a few aspirants here today. I hope they continue to be aspirants, receive Knowledge and find out for themselves. There are events that are going to be happening, very exciting events, I hope, that are going to be happening this year. Two-day events for people who have Knowledge. A lot of people have received Knowledge. It would be a great time to have expressions. It would be a great time to practice, you know, review Knowledge and understand those three Pillars and understand the foundation, get a better understanding of what this is and what the possibilities are. One-day events, one-whole-day events for people who are aspiring because the number of aspirants has significantly grown up. The growth has been incredible all around.
I mean, nothing compared to America, but, you know, it's catching. It's getting better. I mean, there are 95,000 aspirants in India and Knowledge sessions happen every single day. Every single day. In fact, in Delhi, there is a Knowledge session every single day. No exceptions. And it's really beautiful. It's really beautiful. So, you know, there will be public events and there will be events, all-day events, with the aspirants. So, let's make something happen here, something that's really beautiful around the world, wherever you are from, whatever community you are in. The message is very clear. The message is very simple because it's real. It doesn't need to be complicated. It doesn't need to put on the facades. I mean, this is it.
This works. And it works and it works and it works and it brings you more and more and more. And all you need to do is let it. Enjoy the practice. Enjoy participation and enjoy listening. Believe me. Believe me. This is easy. This is easy. It is very easy. And people go, oh, no, no, no, it's not. It's very hard for me to listen. I know it is. But you listen to that. You listen to that voice that says it's very hard to listen. Change voice. You know, somebody told me, here's a person who is very independent. So, I said, yep, he's dependent on being independent.
We all would like to be independent because we are so dependent on being independent. Another explanation. You know how many explanations we've got? The words we used to use was concepts. The people would get really confused about concepts. Here's a new one. Explanation. Explanation. And boy, have we got explanations. Explanations. Floating way above our head. Explanation. And we're drowning in our own explanations. And for all the explanations that we have, we have no explanation of why we have so many explanations. And the Master asks you, why do you have so many explanations? And you cannot explain why you have so many explanations. Who can? Who can? But everybody has an explanation.
Why are there people dying? People have explanations. Why are there people hungry in this world? People have explanations. Then why do you have so many explanations for these things? Nobody knows.
Nobody knows. Why are there so many religions? Religion, explanation of God. This is how you get to salvation. This is how you get to heaven. And what if you like it better here? Do you have a choice? Do you have a choice? Do you have a choice? Here? No, no, no. Just do this, this, this, this. Heaven. No problem. Heaven. I always say this. You coming with me? To guarantee? No. What if the door, they said, nope. And I say, hey, you, come here. Talk to this guy. He said, no. Of course, I would tell him, this is, I have two bad news. One, I'm not getting in. Two, you're not getting in either. Gates. Gates. Why? Why gates? God, ah, big eyes.

Why? You need eyes.
You need eyes. You know, if a car created you… No, this is good. If a car created you, it wouldn't have eyes. It would have headlights. It wouldn't have eyelids. It would have wipers. It wouldn't have teeth. It would have radiator. It's true. And you wouldn't talk like this. You just go… This is how it would be. And you wouldn't have hands. You would have wheels. If a car created you, that's what it would do. When human beings try to create a god, that's exactly what they do. Eyes. Judgmental. Heaven. Gates. You know, the Creator of all those things is not God. This is man's doing. This is human beings. Have a gate and a gatekeeper. You think God could have come up with a better system than have a gatekeeper and a book? Of course. This is car creating a human. This is human creating heaven. What do you get? What do you get? Anything you want.
Excuse me. This is dangerous. Because human beings have been wishing on this planet Earth, and the things that they have wished for are not very nice. And here, at least, there is a little bit of a limit to what can come true. Imagine a place where there is no limit and anything can come true? Oh, my god. So, people have their explanations, their ideas. No. Here, now. Not about your future and not about your past, but about this moment. Singular in nature. Beautiful. Pleasant. Peaceful. Enjoyable by all human beings. So great that even hearing about it. So beautiful, so incredible, so great, that even hearing about it can bring peace in a person's life. This is its nature. This is its nature. It is in this single moment that you will exist. Till you do. Make home.
In this moment. Feel at home in this moment. You have made yourself to feel at home in tomorrow. ou feel at home in tomorrow. That's not yours. Feel at home in this moment called now. Feel at home in this gratitude. Feel at home in peace, not in confusion, not in confusion. Feel at home in the feeling and not in explanations. Feel at home in your true Self, in your truest Self. If you want to be independent, then be independent of confusion. Be independent of doubt. Be independent of all that that is not yours. And feel, feel reality in its magnificence, not from fear. Not from fear, because fear is not yours either. Yours, you were meant, made to behold joy. This is what belongs in this vessel. This is what it was made for. Not all the other stuff. So, what are you going to do? Well, I know there are people who are going to go and talk about it. Explain the unexplainable. waste your time. People like to go to dinner and they'd like to talk about what I've talked about. Enjoy your dinner. (laughter) Enjoy your dinner. And enjoy being in that place. Who you listen to is up to you.
Who you listen to is up to you. That's always your choice. You can listen to ignorance or you can listen to Knowledge. You can listen to that voice inside of you that says, everything is wrong, everything is wrong, everything is wrong, everything is wrong, everything is wrong. Or you can listen to the voice. That says, be. Be free, be clear, enjoy this life. Enjoy this existence. See, nobody will ever tell you, you have a choice. People will tell you, no, you have a choice. I tell you, I know you have a choice. Every day that you hear the two voices, you have a choice, which one you listen to. Oh, you won't be able to stop hearing them. Yes, that is the nature of ears, you know, voice. But who you pay attention to, it's up to you. It's not up to the voice, it's up to you. And knowing, that's half the battle. Knowing, know, know, understand. And be fulfilled. Be fulfilled every day. No excuses, no explanations. Be fulfilled every single day.

I'm on my way to India. The schedule in India is enough to make you tired just looking at it. But 3,474 nautical miles of flying back and forth in this village and that village.
But I can feel people's excitement. People are excited. I can feel it. How? I know. I have an explanation for it, see. But I can feel the excitement.
And I'm looking forward to going there, talking to the people. People have been making, little villages have been making incredible effort. Incredible effort. Because, see, before there was a time they didn't have a choice. They were told, no, he's only coming to Delhi, that's it. And they all wanted me to come to their little village. And they thought I would never come. Never, ever come to their little village. Because they had an explanation. He doesn't have time for our little village. And I said, of course. I'll come to your little village. Providing, providing you make the effort. So they have been making efforts. And places I didn't even know existed. That's where I'm going. That's where I'm going. Little villages that I didn't know existed there. But it's going to be nice. It's going to be fun. People come. They listen to this message. And this is in India. I mean, talk about explanations. There are so many explanations in India. And when I say what I say, people go, I have never heard that explanation before. And then I tell them this is not an explanation. I'm offering you the real thing. And they are shocked. Really? This is not your imagination? No, this is real. Feel it. Feel it. Feel that peace in your life.
This is not just pictures of wells and rivers and people dancing in the water. No, these are not that. This is the real thing. This is what the guy asked me from Mauritius. He asked me that. He said, so what do you do? Do you just go around showing people pictures of wells? I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I make sure that they are quenched. This is the possibility that I present. I just show them pictures of wells. So that's always, you know, like, it's so straightforward. It's so simple. You know, it's so simple. People say all these things. And I say, well, listen, you know, you go find peace. If you find it, come to me. I can take care of it. And people are like, huh? Because other people want to give explanation.
I can give peace because I have the means. I have that great, incredible gift called Knowledge. And Knowledge works. Knowledge works.
So I know you're going to go back home. And then you're going to get, you know, March and the, you know, it's, of course, beautiful here today. It was beautiful, like summer. And then, you know, some people living further north is going to get cold and warm and cold and warm. Rest assured, summer will come. That your summer can come any day you want. Any day you want. Spring galore. Any day you want. Even in the dead of winter. You can have spring. I wonder how long this is going to last. It's true. A lot of people were waiting for, I wonder how long this is going to last.
What are you waiting for? A lot of people were waiting. Because, you know, things like this usually start, people get excited, and then they fizzle out. Well, those people who were waiting for it to fizzle out, I've got bad news for you. This is bigger than ever. More people are listening to this message than ever on this planet Earth. Ever. Period. You remember I was telling you India has big numbers, but it's catching up? Well, as many people as listen to me in India, pretty close to that. That's what's going on in South America. Pretty close to that. And nobody tells them to watch. This is not one of those, an instructor comes along and, you know, says you should do this. No, no, no. No. This they do on their own. This they do on their own, and then they send me the messages. Email. Thank you so much. Not about confusion. Gratitude.
I haven't even received Knowledge yet. Probably haven't even seen me in real life, and gratitude has begun. This is real stuff. So for those of you who were waiting and waiting and waiting for this to just fizzle away, it's getting bigger than ever. Bigger than ever. Those of you who have ever been to India and been sitting around, you know, seeing one of the big events in Delhi, not the stadium one, but the big event, even if you had been to the stadium event, that was only 85,000 people in that stadium. There's 95,000 registered aspirants. That's how many aspirants there are. nd they stay at that level too. They receive Knowledge, and that many new come up. Now, of course, how do we take that even more? We'll work on that.
Once in India, I remember some of those cities, there was like 5,000 aspirants. This is 95,000 aspirants. In South America, amazing things. stralia. Europe. North America. It's time. Time has come. Beautiful time. It's beautiful time. And you can be a part of it. It's never too late. Never too late.
And what is in for you? Joy. Joy. Joy of participation. And up till now, you know, not much attention was paid to participation. Really wasn't. This is going to change. This is going to change this year. The seed of the change has already been planted. We're just waiting for spring. Which came yesterday. So we're in good shape. So the biggest thing, biggest thing, the two things that are going to happen. For participation that hasn't been like that. One is everybody will be asked this question who wants to participate. What can you do? Not here, do this. It's up to now. It's always been do this. Gone. What can you do? Some people are sitting there, well, I can't do anything. Okay, maybe you can eat the extra sandwiches. Maybe, maybe you can bring water for those people who are thirsty, who are doing something else. This is fine. What can you do? I can fly an airplane. That's about it. Fine. I only know how to do calculus. Fine. I can repair TVs. Fine. What can you do to help? This is what's coming.
And putting the U back in fun. To make participation as much fun as possible. So the seeds for this have already been sown and it's coming. Now, some people are going to love it. Some people are going to love it. Usually those who just end up doing everything, they're going to love it. Those who try to make it happen may not. The good thing is there is a lot more of those who do it and a lot less of those who try to make it do it. So the ratios will be okay. And eventually they'll catch on to it too, that it should be fun. It should be fun for everybody. And so it'll be done in a beautiful way.

And that is the pillar. That is the pillar that has been in the middle. As three Pillars go, you know, usually in India, it has always been talked about as first listening, then participation, and then practice. In the West, it has been talked about first practice, then participation, then listening. The beautiful thing is that the participation pillar has stayed in the middle, untouched, but in the middle. Knowledge has been made simple, beautiful, easy.
Listening has been taken care of, continues to improve. It is much easier to listen now than it used to be, where you had to go and take off your shoes and go into a hall and sit down and put up with everything and then try to find your shoes again. So it has been made really easy. Wherever you are, you can listen. And of course, if you miss those days, it's not a problem. You can go to a movie theater, take off your shoes, go into the movie theater and come back and see if you can find your shoes. The chances are you won't. But this can still be done. But listening to the message, wherever you are, available on the iPod or available for downloading or available to be able to watch, it's become really, really simple.
And it is now the turn of the third pillar. And this year also, I hope that people understand the value of the foundation, the Master, on which these three Pillars stand. Because without that foundation, these pillars would have gotten knocked down a long time ago. It is the foundation that keeps them holding. Listen, I mean. And today, people are receiving Knowledge, the same Knowledge that they were receiving in 1700s. The value of the foundation is incredible. It's kept the Pillars where they need to be, not let them budge and not let them fall down. Because people have enough craziness to go, wow, we need these pillars, get rid of them. But that's the value of the foundation. And the joy is intact. Craziness, the storms of craziness have come. Foundation has been solid and the Pillars are untouched. Untouched. At the same time, many, many times more people are able to view the beauty of these pillars than ever, ever, ever before on the face of this earth, ever.
So something is good. Something is very, very good. And with that inspiration, and most importantly, remembering every moment and what you have been given, then take the steps in this life. Know it is your boat that is moving, not the trees, not the houses. They will be here and others will pass and make the same exact mistake as you. But because you have a Master, you now know who's moving and who's not. And you need to make the mistakes.
Enjoy, enjoy this life. Enjoy every day. And I hope I'll be coming back around and we will have an opportunity to have another couple of events, um, which they will let you know about. So we move, we go, and things keep getting better and better. And welcome to the garden of peace. Thank you very much. Good night.
