The Journey of Self-Discovery Through Meditation : หน้า 26/135

stung when the bedbugs bit me, but I would not kill them. I would catch them and put them in a spittoon covered with a piece of paper so they could not get away. When morning came, I would release these bedbugs elsewhere. I cleaned until everything around me became spotless. My bed was clean. Even my old mosquito net was utterly clean. I have been like this since I was a little girl. I love cleanliness and orderliness. I know where everything should or should not be. I taught myself everything. I know when to do what. I know how to manage my time and how to handle my tasks. When I was at Wat Paknam I taught myself orderliness and discipline. After I attained meditation skills to recall past lives, I traversed into my past to find out why I became the person I am. Through meditation, I found that the reason I was capable of self teaching was because I had meditated a great deal in my previous existences. The merits gained from my meditation in the past lives have given rise to the knowledge and wisdom that enabled me to teach myself. You, too, should meditate as much as you can to develop the ability to teach yourself. November 6, 1980
