SPIRITUAL WORK AND SMOKING
My child, may I ask one request of you? Before you come to a meeting such as this one;.half an hour before that meeting do not smoke a single cigarette. If you can make it an hour, that would be even better, but half an hour you must. When you have stopped, that is before the half an hour starts, cleanse your aura. You know how to do that. The reason is, my child, that the cigarette has caused harm to the aura. We wish your aura to be as clean as it possibly can in spite of the cigarette, before you sit for this kind of meeting. The reason is, my child, you will be able to draw in more energy if your aura is already clean.
Q : Sir, I always cover myself with white light before these meetings.
My child, what is the point of doing that, if after that you light a cigarette? So cover yourself with light, cleanse your aura and do not light a cigarette.
Q : Sir, should this procedure be followed even before healing?
Always. Before any spiritual work, whether it be just a simple meditation that you are going to sit for, or you may be going to a temple to pray…. whatever kind of work which requires spiritual energy, you must have no toxins in your body. That is why the strict instructions given to this child of mine not to consume any non-vegetarian food before the meeting. My children, non-vegetarian food is so gross in its energy and your body has to work overtime to digest it. Before meetings like this, specially if you are going to do any spiritual work in the meeting, or any healing, do not consume any non-vegetarian food at least two hours before the meeting, healing or any spiritual work. Although we always advocate vegetarian food, we will not tell you give to up non-vegetarian food, because fulfilled desires leave no karmas, unfulfilled desires always bring with them karmas. So do not give up anything, anything, my children, unless from your true desires you wish to give it up. No book, no words of knowledge, no philosophers must make you do what you do not desire because those unfulfilled desires linger on with you lifetime after lifetime.
