God's Light and Sound The Right Way

God's Light And Sound

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hawaii, U.S.A.

March 27,1993 (Originally In English)

The light and sound of God come when we are in deep communion with Hirm, when we sincerely want to go back to where we came from. The light comes like a flash, like lighting, like thousands of suns, like colorful rainbows, like a beautiful electric shock. It thrills your whole body; it thrills every nerve, every cell in your body and renews your body, spirit and mind, and makes you become like a newborn baby. You become innocent, but intelligent; you become patient but very wise, very active and very fast reacting.

The sound, it's just like a kind of condensed light, but more concentrated, more powerful. Sometimes if you sit in mediation after initiation or sometimes when you're in very deep prayer, it can happen that the sound vibrates, comes like thousands of musical instruments at one time. But it doesn't deafen your ears at all, and it doesn't hurt your eyes when you see thousands of suns inside. It doesn't hurt your ears when you hear thousands of kinds of violins or a great orchestra from heaven playing this tune. Then that uplifts you to the heavenly abode and lets you experience different dimensions of the universe, and lets you know a different power which begins to emerge within your own being. That's just about as simple as I can explain it to you; otherwise, these things aren't related to human experiences at all. We never experience such things in human terms and human existence. Therefore, it's difficult to tell you about them in words. I can only invite you to experience them.

The Right Way

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Pune India

November 22, 1997 (Originally In English)

There's only one way to live our lives, and that's the right way. There's no other way. The choices in our lives make us God or anti-God, even though Indian philosophy teaches us that we're all God, and God is within us. But if we make the wrong choice, we go in the opposite direction. God creates both light and darkness, good and evil, so that we'll be able to understand, to know, to exercise our wisdom to choose the right way. Some of us tend sometimes to give in to weakness and forget that the price of strength, the price of honoring our own ideal is greater than material gain, much, much greater. We have to strive for that. We have to honor ourselves by choosing the right way.

God gives us free will; of course Hes never says, "You must do this, and you must do that or I will punish you." Punishment comes from us, comes from our own conscience. We know what's wrong and what's right, and when we do something wrong and don't feel good, that's our punishment. It's worse than hell when our conscience feels very, very bad about what we've done. And when we feel good about it, that means we're doing God's will. So Hes gives us the free will to choose, and lets us remind ourselves and the world that we have to choose Hiers way. That's the only way to represent ourselves if we think that we're God; if we think that we're one with God, that God even dwells within us, then we have to represent that.
