Sometimes when we have strong faith, then we can accept whatever we’re given. Because we have faith, God and Buddha also love us, and change the place for us. Sometimes, we’re tested like that. The same happens to me. (But people nearby said that it takes two, three years to change places.) That’s right. It can’t be right away like that. Because it’s a home for the elderly, we must wait until someone dies to have a vacancy to move in. And now, suddenly, there’s this place... Right away, suddenly. (Yes. That’s Master’s power arranging for the disciples. Thanks, Master, very much.)
The same happens to me. I lived wherever, but then it would change to a better, nicer place. It’s just like this. She applied for an old pension house and she got it almost right away. Other people have to wait for five years. For example. She got it in only five months. And then when she got it, it was a very bad place, a dangerous place, kind of dangerous area. And she had to walk three staircases. Third floor. But she said because she prayed to Master to have it, so she had it quick. So she thinks whatever Master gives is fine. She’s not afraid. But one day, very late, 3, 4 o’clock in the morning, somebody knocked, knocked at the door. But she just prayed and she was not afraid. After a while, they tried to open the door, but they could not open. And then after a while, they left. And then in the morning, she went and talked to the building manager about that, just complaining. She just said that she was afraid and all that but didn’t think anything else. When she went to Cancun and came back, he told her that, “Okay, I will look for a better place for you. I will tell the boss to give you a better place, another building.” And she was thinking he was just saying that. But even then it would take a couple of years. But when she came back from Cancun, he told her to fill in the application immediately, and then she got another place with an elevator, sunshine in the room, clean and everything, and safe.
So I said to her that it is like that. Even though sometimes we have a place that we do not feel is up to our liking, but if we somehow believe that it is for us because Heaven wants to give it to us, or we trust in God or trust in Heaven, or trust in Master power and just accept it anyway, then later, even if it’s bad, it will turn into good. Or we will somehow use it as a step to go to a better place. Because we passed the test, or maybe because we are so spiritual that Heaven is touched. Understand?
The same with me also. The same with me. Wherever is given to me, whatever, and it is for spiritual reason, I would stay. And even another place, better, more favorable and more beautiful or more convenient or whatever, but if it’s not spiritually strong, not spiritual at all, or not strong enough compared to the other place, which is not too good, I would never move to the better place. Since I began practicing, it’s always like that, and I always get a better and better place all the time. Even I had to move a lot, but it’s always better. And whenever I go to a place and I see there’s no spiritual, not much spiritual or no spiritual… Of course Heaven’s everywhere, of course. But there are some places with more Heaven gates, and you see, Spiritual Blessing Portals. If I see it’s not there, then I feel no attraction at all. But if I know a place is spiritual, no matter what, even if it doesn’t have anything there, even no house even, I would bring a tent there and stay all by myself. Even no facilities, nothing. You understand? Even alone and it’s not so safe, whatever.
Everything in my life, I don’t talk about the younger time but since I know spiritual practice, everything in my life is just for that category, for spiritual practice only, for improvement in spiritual practice. For myself and for everyone as well.
So you did the right thing. Even though the first house was dangerous, you knew it, and you had to walk up three floors, but you still accepted it. Because you believed that the Master gave it to you, you see? And later you get a better one. It’s just a step, because if you had not been in that building, then you would not have had the chance to take this beautiful one afterward, you see? Sometimes you go to some place, but this is just to begin something else, or you met somebody just for somebody else. So just have to be patient, accept and be grateful for anything.
