No 937 of Living Life Series 1
Let there be sunshine. Let us be the sunshine for others and not be the prophets of doom and gloom. People who know allot and far more than the many in a religion tend to be like that. They tend to be negative about others who know less.
They see the dust in others eyes and fail to see their own even though they have less dust than the many. They do know that much more but still lag behind in practices.
They know enough to be critical and judge those who know little or almost nothing. Their problem lies in not realizing or practicing enough of what they know. If they have the hindsight of practice, they would be more accommodating to those who are not so fortunate to know more and who indeed are unfortunate to be knowing near nothing even if they are active in a religion or a house of God and saint.
Those who know allot but practice little do not have the benefit of enough practice of the Word to be the sunshine for others and to be the angels of hope.
Sometimes and often so, they need not impose the Word but just be around and be radiant even if they cannot yet impart wisdom to the crowd who are not ready and receptive.
Silence can be golden and mere presence provides the strength and backbone to others. Need not utter a word more.
Merely there is good enough. Like candle flames their presence allow others to be lighted up and not be in the dark. In time, they will be able to see and know the Word.
Be there to light up the darkness. No need to utter a word for the time being till others see the need and are ready. That way they do not be over bearing and be imposing. They will not frighten away the multitude. That way, they can be there to contribute their wisdom when matters do not seem right.
This is in line with the advice of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 to the more spiritually endowed to be candle light to light up the life of others and shine the way for them to live life more correctly in the Word.
Many are in religions and in houses of God and saints but just follow the crowd. They are as lost in darkness as the crowd. They prefer the darkness to light. They think that darkness of the night spots of life is heavenly and the very thing religions are all about.
Those who know more should just be there and make no noise. Being there to light up is good enough. There is no need a word more for now. This applies to any religion and to all religions and houses of God and saints.
