Q: I have a question to you. I think we have a value it is good to follow the strong among us… I don’t like to think it better to take sides with the strong and beneficial rather than treasuring whether it is right or wrong… What is your opinion about it, MARTH?

MARTH:
The answer is quite clear… All the people have the true quality of love, Atman and are part of God… And this is the answer… Follow your true self, but someone else or someone stronger…
Otherwise, there will be no challenges in your life… We are born into the world as a child of the whole universe, of love and of God…
And to live with your true quality will be a great love and a challenge for everyone. You just live with love of your true self (of oneness) wherever you are born to. It doesn’t matter whether it is filled with the evil or it is corrupted. And to see the true quality of all the beings and to live with it will be a challenge, a joy and a pride for all the people. To live with your true self will be a real gift to yourself as a child of the whole universe and a great pride for you…

Our ego is made of separation. However, it is not the true self… Separation is an illusion. Our true quality is love, oneness and divinity. That is Atman, the true self. Then, how we live will decide itself naturally… The best way to live, and how we can be great and brilliant are common to all… Everybody can be brilliant when he lives with the true self and in love…

If we stay as the ego mind and our consciousness deteriorates, we become fearful… Then, we will decide things out of fear. Therefore, we are too ambitious to take sides with the strong and beneficial… However, it won’t work well as we expect. We will definitely ruin ourselves… The best choice for everyone is to be the true self. We will feel magnificent joy when we live with the true self. You just live in justice even if the whole world is evil, even if they sold their souls to the evil. To live with the true self must be a real charm of your life, beautiful life of your truth and a big challenge for love…

Postscript
When we try to excel others, beat them, become strong, great or famous, have high education and acquire qualifications, our ambitions of separation (the ego) will be enhanced… Our conflicts, fights and fear will be enhanced, too. And some women try to be liked and loved by such great man, bear his child and gain a status, fame and money…
However, did these men and women become truly happy? Napoleon, Nobunaga, Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Yang Guifei, Marie Antoinette and so on? All of them were tragic. Let’s find the successful people with such ambitions and sense of separation if there were any.
After all, the true quality of humanity is love. It is oneness. Any trial to stand out from the existence, to become superior to others or our inferiority complex are negative illusions.
If you take it seriously, fight with others to become somebody, your life will be filled with pains, fights and fear because you create psychological time then. Your original bliss and happiness coming from the true self will be lost at that time…
You may become a deceiver, a sly person, a fighter.
You may ruin your beautiful life, which should originally be wonderful. People believe they can be happy if they stand out from others. However, it is not true as it doesn’t fit your true self.

The truth is that we don’t have to become somebody, and we are God, love and Atman as we are, as part of the whole universe.
I wonder if humanity will be able to live a truly magnificent life when we live as such.

Q: Let me ask you a question, MARTH. I think it good to pursue happiness for myself since I am given a life. What do you say about it?

MARTH:
Does happiness for yourself mean happiness for the ego? If happiness continues for the ego, in fact, it will never continue, you may lose a chance to return to the no-self, to the true self. If it is true, I don’t think it good. To desperately seek for something beneficial for the ego is to boost the ego for its protection, for safety of the ego.

That is, you may not forgive everything dangerous for the ego. Even more, unless you forgive, love and embrace your surroundings in your childhood, which you deliberately have chosen as you cannot forgive it, you will not be able to return to the true self. You will lose your eternal being and suffer from pains unless you return to the true self.

I could say it is the worst treatment for yourself. We have deliberately chosen to be born to certain surrounding which we fear most, which we hate most. The most important thing for us is to love it with a generous heart, forgive it as part of God, of love, embrace it, and understand it deeply. Then, you will return to the true essence, which is the no-self, oneness. It is the shortest way to return to love. And you will regain your Buddha nature. You will regain love. Is there anything more wonderful than that? There is a great gap between something wonderful for the ego and something wonderful for the true self.

It will be a great gift for your eternal self, for your true self. You will not lose your eternal being. If you live in favor of the ego, however, you will lose your eternity and even your eternal life. I feel living a life in favor of the ego is the worst thing to do, and it will give us a great damage. Don’t you agree?

Now that you know secrets of the ego and the selflessness and the true essence in this world, you should understand it well. People engage themselves in boosting the ego and protecting it everyday without such knowledge. And that is the worst thing for the true essence. The true self, the higher-self, the existence of a person will bring him every possible trouble to awaken him desperately. I feel that is the worst thing we can think of on the earth.

What is the reason why people deliberately choose to be born to the most unforgivable and wonderful (unpleasant) surroundings? Isn’t it because they will be enlightened as a Buddha, if only they embrace and forgive the worst in their lives?

If it is so, nothing is more foolish than to reject such chance. I could even say we should look forward to such problem. We may be able to awaken ourselves when we see everything as connected as one through eyes of the no-self and of love. We may be able to transform ourselves when we see people who seem others but ourselves, as suffering fellows, whether they are our parents or friends. Is it beneficial for us to lose such chance?

We will be egoistical and boost the ego if we continue escaping, lying, attacking to protect the ego, fight, kill. I feel that will ruin ourselves.
You don’t have to listen to my opinion. Nor you have to live by following what I say. What it matters is how you feel, and whether you need to awaken. And if you want to awaken, all you need to do is just work at it. Otherwise, you will just do whatever you want to do.
