Laws of the Divine: From “The New Day” – Lecture by Master Beinsa Douno (Peter Deunov) (vegetarian), Part 1 of 2

The spiritual lineage of the Universal White Brotherhood was founded by Master Beinsa Douno, also known as Peter Konstantinov Deunov, of Bulgaria, in 1897. Master Beinsa Douno taught that the qualities of humility, obedience, honesty, goodness, intelligence, and nobility, are foremost in spiritual practice. He explained that one should walk the path of Love, Wisdom, and Truth. The Universal White Brotherhood believes that God is in everything: in the stones, the plants, the water, the air, the animal-people, and the light. Following the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, Master Beinsa Douno practiced and preached a vegetarian diet. Master Beinsa Douno delivered close to four thousand discourses and lectures, that were recorded in shorthand by his students. We will now share with you a selection from Master Beinsa Douno’s lecture entitled, “The New Day,” held on January 17, 1940, at the General Esoteric Class, in Izgrev – Sofia, Bulgaria.

“If you want comforts in your life, you need to put wisdom into action. The comforting conditions in life are due to the harmonious interaction between the forces of pressure, tension, and wisdom. If the forces of pressure and tension balance each other and yield to wisdom, in other words, to Divine Source, the latter will bring ease and comfort in life. If by Wisdom, following Divine Source we can solve the tasks of pressure and tension as opposing forces in life, that means to do God’s will. To come to the fulfillment of God’s will, one needs to consciously learn and apply (the learned).”

“Studying the Laws of the Divine and Spiritual world, you notice that not all feelings and thoughts are yours. Many thoughts and feelings pass through your mind, but you are not their source. You should accept only those thoughts and feelings that are in accord with your nature and serve your upliftment and development. Do not admit inferior, egotistic thoughts and feelings into yourself, neither build anything with them.”

“To live well, one needs to study not only the Laws of Pressure and Tension, but also the Laws of Time used by the intelligent world. For every blessing that is given to someone, there is an exact time. Happiness comes at a designated time. Therefore, if you want to receive a certain blessing, go exactly at the appointed time and await it. The good will come precisely on the appointed day, hour, minute, and second.”
