A Monk

A monk is one who monitors his life to be above any influence for his concentric love and urge towards his Ideal or living Master.

A real monk is beyond the influence of the mind or any kind of emotion, and prepares himself for the journey towards heaven and God.

A true monk is a condition of human life beyond all attachment or detachment for its preparation to be a saint, a liberated soul, so that he or she can lead others towards God.

A monk is a state between a man and a Master, between the world and heaven, between manhood and godhood.

A true monk passes his or her life through a strenuous journey with nothingness and loneliness – but a wholeness of the being, a fullness of love, an awareness of the wisdom for which he or she is born.

A monk is a life without home, friends or family.

A monk is a soul preparing itself to become a real saint, a reflection of the Holy Spirit. In the process of exaltation, re-orientation and completion of his life with the spirit of God, a monk becomes a saint, a spiritual teacher, and a guru, either male or female, communes all his or her followers with the spirit of God – the Holy Spirit – and becomes settled with the life on earth, hell or heaven, with full understanding of the causes of hell, earth and heaven.

A true monk is free from any sensual attraction, either interest, smell, beauty, hearing or from the other sensory organs.

A monk is a free soul, prepared to hold the reality, purity and peace of life beyond any attachment or confinement.

A true monk is a soul born liberated, and is meant to carry other souls towards liberation.

A monk is a state of life that liberates itself and advances towards sainthood, masterhood and godhood.

A monk is a stepping-stone from manhood to sainthood and through to godhood.

A state of monkhood is a state of understanding what is best in life, love and relations, either with the family or friends, the world of illusions or the world of understanding.

Monkhood is a state of life where life remains isolated from any condition of life and enjoys its all-round fulfillment through monkhood, sainthood or godhood.

A true monk is a representative of an angel that transforms the self from worldly life to spiritual life and brings complete renunciation.

Monkhood is the first step of human life, to know, to understand and to become a saint, a free soul between material and spiritual life, between the world of bondages and the world of freedom.

A true monk becomes a saint and has salvation.

Be a real monk and enjoy the spirit of sainthood, guruhood or godhood.

Become a real monk and remain free, even in all the conditions of life, love and relations, as a saint.

Monkhood is the first step of manhood to enter into the kingdom of God and heaven.

Monkhood is a state of the fullness of life, love and relations, and joy, beyond any attachment or detachment. Before you become a master, teacher or spiritual leader for mankind, your life has to pass through monkhood, the state of total discipline of life, total sacrifice of life, to such an extent that the life will be put to a higher being, such as a saint or a Master.

Every master of the Holy Spirit in every life is born as a monk, and from that monkhood life is transformed to godhood.

Blessed are those who have enjoyed their own life, enjoyed what is monkhood in that life, and enjoyed the wholeness and fullness of life and love.
