So, the more intelligent human beings can see everything, better than before, no? When your eyes are open, you see better, no? So just watch yourself. Don’t bother asking me when are you reaching the Fifth Level; be a Master, all that. What for? What for if you treat a dog-person like that? What for you go to the Fifth Level? Who would want you there? Who would want a saint who treats a dog-person like that?
I don’t know how people, any human, has the heart to treat a dog-person like that. How can you not imagine that the dog-person would have feelings? Just because they are animal-people, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any feelings or they don’t feel any difference if you treat them nicely, or more warmly. They feel the difference!
And now they love it inside the house, get on with the other dog-people, and very nice. And when we came back, it was too late. One dog-person died, so only two left. But at least better than nothing, so, we didn’t waste any more time. Because I told somebody to do it after I left, but he didn’t do it well. So, later I asked about what happened, and then he told me, “Just like that, like that, nothing happened.” So I said, “OK, we take him.”
Even I’m far away, and when I think of that dog-person, I feel almost heartbroken as well, anytime. Anything in this world is like that. Oh, it hurts me a lot. I watch TV, I can’t watch, because right now, like bird flu: they took thousands of chicken- or duck-people, they just took them by the neck and threw them in the bag and closed the bag, and threw them in the garbage. Can you imagine if it’s you? Imagine it’s you! They just buried them alive! Do you understand me? Just like that! Or threw them in the fire and burned them alive. Imagine it’s you! What all the world could have done is just be vegan, and then don’t breed a lot of chicken-people, and let them be them, and then they wouldn’t bother anyone. Oh, God, I cannot watch all this. Do you understand me? It just hurts me, and I can’t sleep.
Anything in this world, I look around, it just hurts me all the time. Even when I was younger, remember, I made a poem, “I don’t know what to do with my heart...” because of that. It’s when I was even younger, before big enlightenment or anything, before the Himalayas, these poems were before the Himalayas. I really couldn’t bear it. That’s why when I was married, I couldn’t enjoy it. If I watched TV, I’d feel sad for many days, many weeks. And I worked in the Red Cross, and nothing happy. And when I was young, I witnessed people dying and suffering, and war, and all that.
Just nothing really good in this world. Anything can hurt me, so easily. Or sometimes even children, healthy, good children, they push them around in a pram without covering the front, and the cold air can... Of course, they are warmly dressed, but the cold air can hit their face, and the debris from the street and anywhere. And because you’re tall, you’re walking up here, and the baby would be down there. And I also feel hurt for that baby. Because they are delicate, and something can blow into their eyes, or they breathe something in their nose, and the cold air, things like that.
People are very inconsiderate; humans are very inconsiderate. And sometimes dog-people, they put them on the truck, behind, without any gripping, and they’re just running in front under the hot June sun, in some very hot weather kind of country. And the dog(-person) is just, like, slipping here and there, and they might hurt their legs from the heat from the sun, and we could not even bear it. I don’t know how a lot of people do a lot of things. I don’t know how humans have no feelings.
So the thing is, whatever you do, consider the other party, then it’s easy to understand and to feel it. And even among our disciples, I was very surprised to see the dog-people in Hungary stay outside like that. OK, the other two dog-people have more thick hair because they never cut their hair. Fine, maybe it’s good. But the big dog is so thin! Thin hair. My God, I don’t know how he lived all these years. Of course, then he had pain and all that, and then we had to treat him. He’s OK now, OK now, and he sleeps in the house every day. At least at night. Maybe they’re used to it, but why? Why do they have to be used to that? Would you like to be used to hardship? It’s so easy to give them a room, a nicer room, than just the wind blows and the rain falls, like that kind of small house. It’s too small. And the big boy didn’t have anything, just a roof on top with the... not covered, the whole thing, just a roof like that. And the wind was blowing both sides. It’s horrible!
How can people not understand that? So, don’t ask me how enlightened you are and what level of saint you are. Just watch yourself, watch yourself, how you react with other people, and how you treat other people, how you treat animal-people, the less fortunate, then you know what level you are. Don’t need to ask me, OK? Because if you are enlightened, you must be more intelligent. So, the more intelligent human beings can see everything, better than before, no? When your eyes are open, you see better, no? So just watch yourself. Don’t bother asking me when are you reaching the Fifth Level; be a Master, all that. What for? What for if you treat a dog-person like that? What for you go to the Fifth Level? Who would want you there? Who would want a saint who treats a dog-person like that?
And some were even proud, telling me, “Oh, they love us because we freed them.” Freed them to do what? Same condition! And every two, three days fed them with freezing food, put it in the cold like that. Frozen food! Of course, the dog-people ate it, but I don’t know how. They put a big bucket like this, and then they ate a little bit every day, but some of it was frozen because it was too cold. You remember February, Hungary, like 25 degrees minus (Celsius). And that’s how they ate. Put a big bucket to last for many days. But that’s already very humane, I have to tell you. Better than the other dog-people who’ve been chained in such weather with no choice. Of course, it’s better already, I have to say, better than before, before they came. The dog-people were chained, day and night. Fine, but it’s not just to get better, you have to do the best, if you can! There’s no use rescuing something, and then just putting him into another different kind of hardship and neglect. Is it?
Oh, talking about these things, it makes me feel pain again. Many times, I see... I cannot rescue all the dog-people in the world, but if you see something like that, something that is not right, try to correct it. Don’t just ignore it just because of inconvenience.
And if you have to give the dog-person to the pound, do give them some money with it. If you can’t take care then, “OK, here’s some money, so take care of the dog-people until they get a better home.” Like this, the dog-person at least gets better treatment, maybe. And there was one dog-person, he even chased bird-people, so we had to give it to the center that’s “no kill,” and to give it to someone else to take care. Because he kills, he’s born to... I mean, he’s trained to be a hunter or something. He’s a nice dog, he just likes to chase other things, other living things. So we had to tell the center, “If you want to give this dog-person away, no bird-, no chicken-, no other smaller animal-people. Maybe it’s not good, so you have to find a house like that.” You have to tell people where you found it, maybe you think what kind of character he has. Otherwise, they will find out themselves also. But sometimes they make mistakes. If you know it, then you tell. If the reason you give the dog-person is because of this, because of that, you have to tell the center.
But you have to give it to the “no-kill” center, because some centers, they kill when it’s too overpopulated, or when nobody adopts for a long time. And then I gave lots of money, I told the center, “Treat this dog well. Find a really good home.” And after they said they’d found a good home, I went and checked: “A really good home?” It was a good home! I have (known) a company of a dog, brush teeth, even! In such a country like Hungary, they don’t treat dog-people like that. But this (company), they have brushed teeth every day, just like the way I treat my dog-people.
Well, if you have dog-people, if you can’t brush every day, then once every two or three days is better than nothing, and give them things to chew, to strengthen their teeth and clean their teeth. They have things to chew for teeth, also. Also good. So I said, “OK,” then I gave more donations. But at first, they didn’t want to let us see it. I wasn’t there anymore, of course. But because they gave the dog-person when I was gone, I called back, and checked all that, and made them go and see the dog-person, to see if it’s a good home. They said, “No, they don’t let us see it, they don’t want to.” I said, “Well, if they want some more donations, they will.” So, I told them I would give more money if they let me know that the dog-people are in good condition, good house. Ah... they, “OK!” They took us over there. And brushed teeth and all! A good house, has a good yard and... Well, not really. It’s an apartment, but they take them out often, and there’s always one person at home. That’s what they said. OK, cool! Get some more donations!
Really, if you can’t take care of a dog-person for any reason, because he couldn’t get on well with other dog-, or they chase your pet-, bird-, or chase your cat-people and make trouble, then for any reason like that, you have to give away, if you can’t give away to our disciples, then give away to a good center. The one that’s a non-killing center, and give a donation so that they take care. And make sure that they really give him to a good home later on.
A good home doesn’t need to be a big home, just a big heart, that’s it. Sometimes a big home is not important, because like that farm, they chained all the three dog-people in a big farm just to take care of the house, the empty house. Some people do like that, so you have to see who’s good. You have to tell them that it must be a good home, a good, loving home, because dog-people don’t care about a big yard, really. I thought they needed it. Everywhere I go, I try to get a big yard for my dog-people. If I rent a house, or borrow a house, or buy a house, must have a big yard, must! It cost me lots of money, and time to look. But now, I realize they don’t even care! Wherever I am, that’s where they’re happy. They go out, lift their leg quick, two seconds, go back in the door, wagging tail: “Let me in, let me in! I’m done, I’m done!” All of them. All of the five or whatever, nine or whatever, when they get used to... We have so many dog-people now, I could open a dog(-people) center. Could start getting donations! Instead of giving donations, I say, “Look here, I’m also a dog(-people) center.”
My God. It’s not that I want to go out, busy, and take care of dog-people, because it is not really our job. But if I see it already, I cannot ignore. They’re not even in the center. They have a home, but it’s a hell of a home. And when I met them, it was summer, and it was still OK, but... And I told some person to go and take care of it, buy them from him or do something. But he didn’t do it! So, now it’s winter coming, I suddenly remembered the dog-people: “Have you done anything?” “No, because, because, because...” “Oh, go do it, for God’s sake!” And obviously, one dog-person died, couldn’t bear it, it’d been too cold. Oh, so I had to act quick, quick, quick, then OK.
It’s not like I’m a busybody who goes and tries to rescue the world, but what I have seen, I have to do it. If I don’t see it, of course, I don’t want to know, and I don’t know. But what I know, I can’t ignore. You know, as I know, that I’m very busy, and I couldn’t really afford any pets, because they tie you down, and you have to worry about them. Responsibility. Even you guys, you have two legs, you run around, you drive and everything, and I still feel responsible, not to talk about these dependent beings. And they’re so sweet and so loyal.
They’re already used to a home. They can’t survive outside. Either dog- or bird-people, if they’re with you already, they’re used to it. And they don’t know how to chase things. Except one of my dog-people, she chased bugs before, because before, she was a huntress, before she came to my house. I don’t know how many she killed. And I asked her, “Why do you eat those lizards? You shouldn’t eat it!” “Oh, I only eat the dead ones!” I said, “Of course, if you swallow, she’s dead.” One time, I saw the tail coming out. I said, “Spit it out right now.” She was reluctant, but she spat it out, and he ran away still! Oh, God! That’s when she first came to my house. That’s Happy, that’s how she’s so fat.
Everybody thinks I feed her too much, but she feeds herself outside, anything that moves. So, she gets stung, bitten, all because she chases all these bugs, and chases the bees, so her nose is swollen, eyes swollen, ear is beaten up, but still chasing! Promise, promise! But doesn’t do it. Many times, I punished her. “You eat meat! You can’t sleep on my bed!” And then, “Outside! Go somewhere else!” And then she cries all night, “Woo, woo, woo...” I can’t sleep, so I have to let her in. And she promises, “I won’t do it again! Never chase bugs again!” She still does it. She tells me they’re all dead, “I only eat dead bugs!” Tells lies as well! I caught her once with a live lizard! She said, “I only eat dead ones.” First, she said, “Sorry, it’s a habit,” she couldn’t help it. And later said, “Just the dead ones.” And that time, I caught her with a tail wagging still, the tail from her mouth. A lizard, the small gecko? (Gecko.) Gecko or something. I said, “Spit it out!” And then she spat it out, and that poor guy ran away, oh, scared to death! Oh, that night, I quarantined her, of course, and she promised Heaven and hell, “I won’t ever do it again!” But I know she did it because I saw her running outside and go chasing. Can you imagine, a dog(-person) telling lies, huh? Lying to me! She never learns her lesson.
