Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:06.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'My question for you is regarding\Nthe nature of grace.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.37,0:00:20.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Is grace stronger, or more present, or\Naccessible ,the closer I am physically to you?'
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.76,0:00:31.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For the grace, if you stay near the \Nteacher physically, or not physically,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.30,0:00:35.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it doesn't make any difference.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.76,0:00:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if it is available, the physical \Npresence of a teacher is available,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.03,0:00:57.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that has to be given preference.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.30,0:01:08.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because most of the sages and saints \Nare no more here in this half of this century.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.23,0:01:14.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if the presence is available, \Nmake the best use of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.22,0:01:28.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And later if the presence is not available, \Nthen it is rather difficult to believe this person,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.17,0:01:32.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because many doubts will come up in the mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.16,0:01:37.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the presence you can give your \Ndoubt, and they will be answered.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.76,0:01:40.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And your doubts will be cleared.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.31,0:01:46.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So make the best use of the physical \Npresence of a teacher
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.16,0:01:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for grace, it doesn't matter whether \Nthere is a teacher or no teacher,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.31,0:02:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it is very rare because some \Npeople say, 'I have never seen the Buddha,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.56,0:02:13.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'I was not there. And if I had been there, \NI would have been very much benefitted.'
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.18,0:02:24.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if the Buddha was there and those people\Nwho were near him, Kashyapa was there,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.69,0:02:28.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ananda was there, \Nand many other were there.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.69,0:02:35.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they have enjoyed the \Nbenefit of his presence, you see?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.48,0:02:43.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And even at the time of his nirvana, \NMahāparinibbāna Day,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.86,0:02:55.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he was lying, and the death was very near.\NAnd some man came to see him,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.34,0:03:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and somebody asked him, \N'The Master is dying in a moment.'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.24,0:03:08.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But Buddha had seen. \NHe said, 'Call him here.'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.33,0:03:18.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all the doubts which he had, they were \Nclear and Buddha lost his breath forever.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.06,0:03:30.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that presence made instantly 500 people;\Nthose who were near him were enlightened.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.76,0:03:34.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With his first sermon, you see.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.71,0:03:44.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But later on, when he passed away, many\Nmore millions are being benefitted by him.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.70,0:03:57.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As Bodhidharma went to China, to spread the \Nmessage of love and freedom and peace.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.08,0:04:04.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he has seen the Emperor of China, \Nwho was very impressed.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.14,0:04:12.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And his age, when he went, crossed over \Nthe Himalayas, his age was 80 years.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.24,0:04:16.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for 40 years, he stayed there,\Nyou see?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.09,0:04:19.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Preaching the Gospel of Love.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.17,0:04:29.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And whole China, Japan, Cambodia, \Nand all this, Bhurma, all this Asia,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.52,0:04:32.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,became the followers of the Buddha.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.71,0:04:39.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And many more are being\Nbenefitted in his absence also.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.90,0:04:45.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you have occasion, \Ndon't miss it, you see?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.25,0:04:50.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'When I am near you I feel changes\Nin my body and brain,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.44,0:05:00.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'and it seems like the closer I am to \Nyou, the stronger these sensations are.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.74,0:05:08.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'At the same time, I think that if time\Nand space are illusions,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.99,0:05:14.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'then your grace should be present,\Nin all times and places,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.25,0:05:19.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'and is within me, wherever I might be.'
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.69,0:05:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is correct, you see.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.60,0:05:25.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually there is no time and no space.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.99,0:05:29.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a concept of the mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.97,0:05:39.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when you go across, or beyond, the time\Nand space, then this illusion vanishes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.79,0:05:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So at that time you must be sure\Nthat you have nothing to do more.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.50,0:05:50.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nor to achieve anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.31,0:05:57.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you have achieved, achieved and \Nattained, everything that was worth

Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.50,0:06:06.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'But this is just my thinking. My experience\Nis that the closer I am to you physically,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.71,0:06:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'the more I feel changes.\NSo what is the nature of grace?'
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.51,0:06:22.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So nature of grace is to enlighten \Na person finally,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.95,0:06:30.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to not to be re-incarnate,\Nany time, in next world.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.76,0:06:40.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you have to be fully in trust with\Nthis thing, 'I have not to be reborn.'
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.79,0:06:49.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And not only that, even this \Npresent birth is an illusion.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.65,0:06:54.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then you were sure \Nthat all this world;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.98,0:07:00.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,universe, sun, moon, \Nstars, is only an illusion.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.79,0:07:06.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because when you think, then only you\Ncan see these forms and names.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.28,0:07:11.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you don't think,\Nnothing is visible.
