No 1035 of Living Life Series 1
The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 descended in 1969 through P. Philip to proclaim his mission that religions must stay different to reach out to different peoples and their needs.
All have the same goal to save souls. All have the mandate of God to reach out to all. There will always be a religion or sect to meet the needs of every man.
But he said that the problem at ground zero where he descended is that in time to come the people at ground zero will one day think that the lord saint is the fertile imagination of men. They may be near and yet far.
He also said that the far may be near. What does he mean by that?
To answer this question, let us be reminded that he also said that he is like the vast ocean that reaches out to many a land. In time, more and more in the world far from ground zero will know him.
They though far will be near. They will be the ones to spearhead the mission on the oneness of religions. The far will be the ones to carry out the mission of the lord. Isn't this an eye opener?
This is the only logical way for the outreach of the mission. The good lord cannot depend on the near at ground zero for mission. The mission to the world will not materialize if he is to depend on them even if they have some mission focus.
Their focus is more on other matters other than primary mission. But as long as they do some good and charitable activities, they will still be blessed. The good lord further adds that we blame not the flower for insects coming to it for nectar.
Mission must rise above human limitations and imperfections. The good lord will have his way. The far will be near, didn't he say so?
He did and he stressed that Mission (beyond Singapore) is by Heaven and not by men (at ground zero). "Men are not ready but heaven is ever ready. The issues of men are many and plentiful." He lamented. Heaven cannot wait for men to be ready.
He further adds that the ways of men are not the ways of saints. Even men of religion may make mockery of the founding saints by dividing men in the name of religion and sect. They too though near end up far from God and saints.
The handful of men at ground zero where the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 descended in 1969 are not alone in that respect - far though near.
They are in a world of their own and relishing every bit of it with good works to add to their pride. They bother not the mission beyond ground zero.
The lord saint says that they will still reap blessings for whatever good they had done and will do. They are after all near (to the lord saint) but yet far.
They are content with ground zero and never even set their eyes beyond. Four decades and more have gone by and certainly this is not a short time by human standards. Truly the ways of men are not the ways of saints. This is as commented by the good lord.
There is no denying the good they have done but whither the mission and that is the issue. Blessed are they all the same for whatever good they had done and can do. They are still near though far.
