Master used to say, "Give me every­thing what you have, give me all bad things, give all bad thoughts to me! I have the reservoir to put it there and burn it for all the times." Nobody can have it, I tell you, only the Masterpow­er can take all our poison and put it somewhere. Otherwise there is no sym­pathy (no salvation), and one cannot be free from the poison, from the poison­ous tentacles of the world. You may move in any direction – you will find this problem anywhere in the world. This  whole  world  is  poisoned.  By whom? By our own actions. You may be forced (to do something wrong), or you may do it by yourself, or such cir­cumstances which may come into your life, may clutch you – only afterwards you know, "Oh, it was this problem. Now it has come to me." Because such are the things which tackle you just above your intellect.

Those people who do not understand what the astral tendencies are, what the astral play is, they can be affected at any moment by the negative power. Provid­ed they have surrendered to the Mas­terpower, this has no effect. You see, here it takes some time to do the work, but there it works with attention. So sometimes with attention you are af­fected. And once you are affected with the attention, then – with the one atten­tion – it will affect you in the positive or in the negative way. If you meet a good person, you have a better chance to im­prove and to develop yourself. But if you meet a negative person, it certainly will have some effect (to bear). And that will continue with you, if you do not know how to get rid of it. These are very little, little things, but only the mouth­piece of God knows how to discrimi­nate it in the very right time to get rid of the effect of these things. Other people are affected.

Sometimes by looking into the eyes of the opposite sex you are affected im­mediately. You want to control it, but the effect is there. What will happen? Once you are affected with it, your development is retarding. Maybe for a lit­tle reason or for little time, but your de­velopment is retarded. I only gave you one example.

We should have a certain view in our life – to become a Gurmukh, the mouth­piece of God. And how? In order to be­come a mouthpiece of God one must know the very hidden values of life. These hidden values of life reveal a se­cret – this very secret will work wonder­fully when we leave the physical body. Then we really have no problem.

You know, whenever you meet such an awakened person (you will get some­thing). We used to see our Master: He gave something. When He said some­thing, that was always positive. We should never doubt it, if He says some­thing. Maybe, I have told you before­hand: There was one person working with me in the Mission of the Master. He was my secretary and I was presi­dent in the Amritsar Centre. Master said, "This man will not work with you for more than six months." Master came there after one year and He said the same thing again. I thought, "Master told beforehand that he will not work for more than six months, then he will leave me, but now one year is over." But I thought, "No, there must be some se­cret in it." Next year Master came again and He said the same thing, "I told you that this man will not work with you for more than six months." In the third year He told me the very same thing. It was 1973 then, in the month of October, when He came, when He visited Amrit­sar for the last time. It was the third time that Master said, "This man will not work with you after six months." So it had continued for three years, but I nev­er had any opinion from my side. (I thought), "It is said by the Master, so there is no problem, something will def­initely happen." Master left the body and fourteen days before the six months were over – this man wrote one letter, saying, "I cannot work with you." So it happened after three years, but the word of the Master was very potent and posi­tive and it became true. So (that was it) what I had to learn. When Master left the body, I thus came to know that now this man will no longer work with me, maximum he will leave me in six months. So within six months I could do so much just to make myself stand on my legs, and I knew how to control the Mission of the Master. I learned many things from these words of the Master, because this man had played a very foul game. Just to dismantle this whole thing, he celebrated a very big meeting where many buses (full with people) came. He wanted to get us away, but we managed everything beforehand, be­cause we knew the word of the Master, and as we knew, Master helped us also.

We have to learn so many things – little, little things. If you really know what you are doing, not only by intel­lect, but if you take everything serious­ly, you say that this is positive and this is negative. Everything is either nega­tive or positive. Everything has its reaction, whether it is a very little or it is a big mistake, a reaction is there. You know, even in our daily life we see this problem. If we live being only surren­dered to the Masterpower, this reaction will not be there. So Master says, "When you serve the Master, then sur­render! Surrender your thoughts, sur­render each and every thought to the Master. Do it whole-heartedly in the sweet remembrance of the Master." And if your mind disturbs you, what should you do? Do Simran! By charg­ing the Simran or having His sweet re­membrance the Master will work won­derfully. Then you will have hundred per cent benefit of what you are doing.

So Master has told lots of signs how a mouthpiece of God must live in the world. In which capacity he has to live he knows from his Father. So his life be­comes very distinct. Apparently we cannot judge how he lives in the world, but only the Master knows that His dis­ciple is now living in the right way. Then He is going and is giving the Grace. If the disciple is falling some­where, He directs him and tells him how to go on doing it. So he is safe.

Sometimes we say, "No, it is not the right thing. We have to do it this way or that way." But the same moment the Masterpower guides and directs him, telling him this is this, and that is that. This is the way how the Masterpower used to help us when there were so many problems. Or when Master want­ed some solution, He said, "No, this is this and this is this."

During our life there were only very few times, when we mixed up some­thing and could not decide. Then we sat in His sweet remembrance and Master helped us. That was in the beginning, I tell you. And Master said, "OK.., now do like this!" Master paved the way out. We saw that it was very easy. Then we said, "Master, we have no power to con­trol this thing. We do not have any pow­er to overcome this problem – now guide us!" There was one reason (why Master guided us), that our attention was focused to do all in the right way, to do it in the interest of the Master. When­ever you intend to do it in the best inter­est of the Master, then the Masterpower will definitely guide you. He will give you the way out, He will give it to you clear-cut. When we want to mix up cer­tain things just to get rid of this prob­lem, then maybe there is a lack of guid­ance. Master said, "If you want to do something for the Master in the positive way, then don't be slow. Do it for the Master in the right and possible way and you will succeed."

So there are certain things which a mouthpiece of God must do throughout his life. Suppose you have some money or some very precious thing and you want to put it in lock and key, but you cannot find the key. It doesn't mean that you should put it away and put it not in the lock, but you search for the key. When you search the key, then you can put it there. Maybe you have put this key somewhere and you cannot find it now; you should remember where you put it the last day. Yesterday you put it somewhere, but it was you who put the key somewhere. It was not anybody else. You must (find the key) to open this very lock and put your valuable things there.

So the key is with you to open the mystery, the very secret that is binding you with Master. You have the key to unfold it and go straight along with the Masterpower. We should never forget that we have to apply the key just to find the right solution to our problem.
