No 748 of Living Life Series 1
It is great to feel the divine presence of God or a heavenly saint in a temple or house of God or saint but God or a heavenly saint would usually be keeping his distance so that we will go for doctrine, live by doctrine and share the doctrine. We cannot be blinded by devotion to God or a heavenly saint.
Miracles and personal experiences of God and saints will usually happen only for the start or inception. There after, there is the silence and obvious distancing of sorts.
If whatever we do is not doctrine orientated, that is guided by doctrine, we will face limited good and eventual problems. This is programmed by the heavenly saint of the temple. The mission of a temple has a life of its own.
Blame not anyone or even ourselves but move on in doctrine. Blame, guilt and fear should not dictate how we live life or expect others to live life, more so spiritual life.
Anger, dislike and poor regard for others or ourselves are taboos which we must avoid for they create blame, guilt and fear. They stifle and suffocate personal development in life.
Why resort to the big stick when even God and saints wouldn't unless there is the setting up stage to insert the mission of God or a saint on Earth.
This was as in the early years following 1969 in the case of the temple of Lord Bo Tien (武天菩萨).

The hands off approach is here to stay so that doctrine is the mainstay in any house of God and saints. Big stick diplomacy is crude and will not work in long term.
Devotion too must give more space to doctrine, otherwise devotion being often blind will turn ugly and sideline doctrine focus and cultivation - the living in doctrine.
