The Extraordinary Life

Some say I have done a lot. I see that I’ve done too little. What have I done? I would say that I’ve done a lot, if I could put the entire world in order and make everybody happy. Now people fight and I sit and speak to myself: I’ve done too little – I didn’t manage to persuade these people not to fight. There are so many judges, convicting innocent people. And I say: I never taught them these laws. Many lawyers advocate injustice. There are many brothers and sisters who do not love each other. I failed to teach them to love. How much work is there for me to do!

I am often asked: “Do you preach something, which is in accordance with the church?“ I reply: “I preach things, which are in conformity with the great Divine law; I don’t lie in the face of God; for me it does not matter if my teaching conforms to your views. For me, it is important that my views are in accordance with the great law, that I don’t lie in the face of God, of Heaven, of the Angels and Saints – this is what matters to me. If everybody understands the teaching in this way and think along these lines, there is nothing to be scared about. Some say: “You want to form a sect “. Those who establish sects are, according to me, very petty people. Everybody can form a sect – take an axe and chop a tree – you’ll make a sect, or take a hammer and break a stone – you’ll make a sect. Sects are easy to make. In an American sect there was a quarrel over an issue –in the consecration of the Eucharist, is the glass supposed to be raised; however those who maintained that the glass was supposed to be raised, forgot to raise it. We often forget what we are preaching and the principle, which unites us. Our objective is to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. I want to form a sect, but what sect that is? To be conductors of God’s law, which would overwhelm all minds and hearts, so that everybody – men, women, children – become sons of the Kingdom of God and start living here on Earth, the lives they should.

PROPHET

And where’s the power of a prophecy? I believe the power of a prophecy is in the accuracy of facts. A call true and accurate that prophecy, which brings light into human mind. Everything which brings light is true.

THE MASTER


Master’s own sister was about ten years older than him. After she was 18, her father got her engaged to a rich man’s son, whom she did not love. She had another sweetheart, but her father said that he had the final word. The engagement party came and talked to the priest and the prospect bride in one of the rooms. At one point she got very sad and she went to the other room, where her younger brother – the Master – was doing his homework. She threw herself on the bed crying. He asked her what was wrong. His sister did not reply, because she thought that he was just a child and could understand nothing of her problems. She was to return to the engagement party, so she wiped her face and went out to go to the other room, across the corridor. In that corridor strings of maze were hanging and when she passed through them, one string broke and fell to the ground, behind her back. She started collecting the scattered cobs, and at the same time the Master appeared at the door and said softly: “Don’t worry sis! As all these corncobs scattered, so will your things dissipate.“ She paid no attention to his words, but thought: “How does he know what is going on with me and why does he say it’s all going to end?“ But on the very next day, the one she loved arrived from Romania and she fled with him. Thus the engagement was dissolved and the words of the Master came true.

While still a child in the Nikolaevka village, the Master used to forecast the weather. When, before threshing the villagers wondered was the weather going to be fine, many of them said: “Priest’s son said …“ Peter’s forecasts always proved to be true.

Brother D.S. remembers: “We were camping in Vitosha with the Master and he proposed that we did something like a lottery – everyone was to draw a ticket, which the Master was to use for telling that person’s life and future. I gave my ticket and he said: „Hold on to music, don’t abandon it“. I wondered why the Master spoke to me that way. At that time I was the director of a large company and I was making good money. But it so happened later that I had to leave the company and live on music. Then I understood Master’s words.
In that “game“, when a sister handed her ticket to the Master, he said: “In this life, you’ll depend on yourself“. She was surprised for she had a husband, who was taking care of her. However, after some time, her husband died and she remained alone.

While still a high-school student, E.N. was passing once near the fence of Izgrev and he saw the Master trimming the trees with scissors. The Master asked him from the yard: “Can you trim and cut trees with scissors?“ E.N. didn’t know the Master at that time, but he replied: “I know nothing of these things!“ Then the Master told him: “You will be a good gardener, you’ll be able to trim really well“. The boy just smiled. Years passed after that, and when he started working with literature and critique, he understood what the Master meant in his prophecy.

Brother D.S. recalls that when he went to Paris to find a job, he was a part of a Russian music band. They couldn’t find an engagement for quite some time, and he started to get despaired. He wrote to his wife to ask the Master, if he should return to Bulgaria. The Master instructed a reply to be sent that he should stay there, for a man was to lend him a hand and everything would be fine. The brother listened to that advice and was soon engaged, together with the entire band, to play in a resort, where the pay was very good. This happened after that brother accidentally met a person from that resort, who helped him.
