“Everyone, every person in the world, doesn’t matter if he’s noble or lowly, rich or poor, all of that is because of their karma in the past. You sow the good karma or wicked karma. The person who are very humane and moral, humble, respect the superior, and tolerant to the lower subordinate, these are noble.” He means all this nobility lineage, richness and all that is not really a noble lineage. The person who is such and such is really from noble lineage, really can be called noble person, aristocrat. 
Keep the precepts, perfectly. Because even though you practice with me, but if you do bad things, you still need to pay for it. Maybe lesser than if you are not practicing, but still you must pay. Either here or after life. And depends on how grave, you even might go to hell, just to clean up that first. But I have to remind you, even if you have to go to hell, please remember the Five (Holy) Names. Remember your Master. If you call, then you’ll be saved, immediately. But I’m worried at that time, you don’t have enough energy to think. You’re so pained, so harassed, so molested, so punished that you could not even think. That is the only problem. 
So during this lifetime, better to keep your moral standard intact. Keep your precepts. And practice, remembering Master, remember the Five (Holy) Names so that in the time of trouble, emergency, you will habitually remember that. Then you can be saved. You must save yourself then, in that situation. Because in some situations, the Master can come to save you. Some situations are so grave, you have to do it yourself. You have to call on the Master for help. Or the Five Holy Names. Then you’re out, immediately. Because everything is illusionary anyway. Even hell or anything is your own making. You attract it or you repulse it. So, this is also good about this world. You can choose. After initiation, you can choose. Or, if you’re a good person, you can choose. You believe in God, Buddha, you can choose. Can choose better than other ordinary people who have no faith and don’t believe in God. 
Even believing in God, you have to practice daily, you pray daily. You keep the precepts, so at the time you die, you remember because it’s habit. The mind remembers, always doing this, doing this, doing this. Even emergency, you don’t forget, then it’s good. Not just say, “I know Master, I know what Master says, She always, ‘La, la, la, la.’ I remember, I know everything.” But if you don’t always remember it and practice it, reminding yourself all the time, then at the time of death, you forget. When all the (bad) karma comes and is tearing you apart, tearing you apart, making you suffer. Or in hell, suffering too much, you can’t remember. Everything you practice every day, you could sometimes forget, not to talk about the things you don’t practice. OK. Right.
