| Date: | March 14, 2010 | | Topic: | THE BLESSINGS OF GRATITUDE | | Book: | BE THE HU | | Author: | Harold Klemp | | Reading: | There’s a difference between a co-worker with the Mahanta and a co-worker with the Sugmad. A co-worker with the Mahanta is the initiate who is in training to become a co-worker with God. A co-worker with God knows his place in the Spiritual hierarchy- what he must do, how he must blend in with the energies around him, how he must employ the law of Economy to make the best of every situation. In other words, a co-worker with God is living and working with the law of Gratitude.
Gratitude is the attitude that allows us to be open to gifts of the ECK, and to continue receiving these gifts. But more importantly, it allows us to appreciate what we have right now – not what we had in the past or what we hope to have in the future, but what we have in our lives right now.
Gratitude allows us to recognize that what we have is exactly what we need for our spiritual unfoldment. What we have right now reflects our spiritual state of consciousness.”

| | | | | Date: | March 21, 2010 | | Topic: | RULES OF DIVINE LOVE | | Book: | How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times Mahanta Transcripts, Book 16 | | Author: | Harold Klemp | | Reading: | In our society today, parents forget to discipline their children because they do not understand divine love. Divine love recognises the rule that you do not invade another person’s property without their permission.
“A lot of parents try to teach their children how to grow up without putting boundary lines down on the ground.
Basketball courts have lines. Football fields have lines. Highways have lines. Everything has lines. But some people will not draw lines with their children. Then they wonder, Why is the crime rate so high? Why are drugs rampant in our society?
Some parents don’t understand this; they’re all full of gushy love, which they mistake for divine love. But it’s without boundaries. Their children grow up not knowing boundaries, not knowing where other people’s freedom starts, where other people’s property begins. You don’t go there unless you have their permission. That’s how it works.
“Love and discipline are keys to spiritual success. Parents must teach their children the old precepts that are found in the Bible that we teach in ECK, and that are taught in every major religious teaching. These different laws boil down to: love God because God loves you. Love each other because God made you all. This is it.

| | | | | Date: | March 28, 2010 | | Topic: | YOU ARE A CUP FOR THE LIVING WATER | | Book: | How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times Mahanta Transcripts, Book 16 | | Author: | Harold Klemp | | Reading: | “The living water is the Holy Spirit, or the ECK. This water flows throughout life; your life, my life, your neighbour’s life, your loved one’s life. It flows constantly. But you’re a cup. And what sort of cup you are - whether of gold or of wood – will affect the gifts that then go back to the world. Is it a leaking cup? Or is it a good cup?
You’re trying to establish this relationship within yourself to become a clear channel for the Holy Spirit – a cup for the living water.
It is about how you can become a clearer, purer vehicle for the Holy Spirit. And the way this is done your heart opens to divine love. That’s all there is to it.
What opens the heart to love? It certainly isn’t flush times when everybody is walking around with their pockets filled with money. The most interest in spirituality comes when life is hard”.
