Maitreya gave a blessing and the following message via Benjamin Creme on 6 April 2006:
My friends, I am nearer to you than you may think. My heart beats step by step with yours. My heart cries for the suffering of so many. Yet I know that the hearts of those who hear Me now are open and willing to help. Fear not My friends. Give bravely and willingly to help all in need. When you do this you enter that area of divinity from which you come. This is the action of divinity itself. So My friends, wait no longer for the manifestation of the great changes which are to come. Bring them about by your actions. Think widely. Think that your brothers and sisters are yourselves, the same throughout the world. Do this My friends and see Me very soon. My heart embraces you all. Q. (1) The `Letters to the Editor' section of Share International never seems to report cases of help given by Sai Baba, whereas His followers know Him to intervene in a huge number of situations. How is that? There are certainly Sai Baba followers among the readers who tell their stories in the magazine. And (2) if we pray to Baba, can He `delegate' the work to Maitreya or Jesus? A. (1) I am sure that Sai Baba intervenes in many situations but we can publish only the letters we receive. There are occasional stories published in Share International in which Sai Baba has intervened. (2) No. Q. (1) Is it true that Sai Baba hasn't changed physically for some time now, or (2) is His body indeed getting older? A. (1) No. (2) Yes. Q.(1) Can Transcendental Meditation bring psycho-physiological problems at all, as reported by a number of meditators, or only when it is not properly practised? (2) Are these problems not linked to the practice? (3) What would be your advice to such people? (4) Is Transcendental Meditation a beneficial technique? (5) Would you recommend a shift from Transcendental Meditation to Transmission Meditation altogether, or can both be practised at different times? A. (1) Not if properly practised. (2) The problems are not linked to the practice. (3) Seek counsel of a practitioner. (4) Yes. (5) Transmission Meditation is more a service and so more beneficial to the world but both can be practised at different times. For more information, please see: http://www.shareintl.org
