No 1029 of Living Life Series 1
Men even create problems with God. Man create problems even in the understanding of God and saints and their roles in the lives of men. They at times even blame God for the cause of their problems.
God is not the initiator of problems. Man is the problem.
Man needs God to help but man must understand why he has problems even with God and saints. Men expect too much and think that they can depend totally on God and saints. Yes, they do.
But not to worry though. The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says that those who seek the blessing of God and saints, God and saints will come to them. There is no qualification. You don't have to have any but believing and faith will be advantage.
Issues big and small will be no issues. But there is element of fate or karma. This must be accepted.
Even then with the blessings of God and saints, even big issues if cannot be no issues will at least be less issues. They will be small issues.
Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨adds that the main issue is of men themselves. The issues and problems of men are many and plentiful. Men creates more problems along the way of life. They need to understand why this is so.
Everyone needs to reflect on life and on how problems arise. Man must know himself before he can know the world.
The sages of old in Tao 道 tradition say that there is the yin and the yang - the positive and the passive elements in life. Problems arise when there is no balance. Problems arise when man expects that he can leave this to God and saints.
Man often fails to know that there must be balance of yin and yang within him before he can be atop and balance the yin and yang in the world - in life. God and saints have this balance and have peace. This is reflected in the image of the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 with feet atop and balancing yin and yang.
Man too must do the same. This balance needs to be cultivated. Go for mindfulness of this.
Go for a bit more of balance and peace. Go for the moment. Even a moment of peace for now is good enough. Many moments add up to more moments of peace.
God and saints will help and bless us. We must learn to bless ourselves as well - not only our individual selves but our fellow men as well.
Everyone has some skills and blessings which others don't have. We can always be blessings to one another. We can help one another.
We must individually cultivate Tao but if we can get together to do so, it would be better. Like what the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say, everyone must be a candle flame to light up his own life as well as the lives of others. A collection of candle flames would be better at that.
That is why there is the 49 days of purity observance before the Mission Day of the good lord on the thirteen day of the ninth lunar month.
Mission Day is the yearly anniversary of his descent in 1969. He descended in 1969 to show the oneness of purpose of all religions - to save souls.
There is oneness of the way to do so and this is presented in various perspectives through various religions, sects and temples. All are one and yet not one. Men must cultivate the peace in life through any religion of their choice and be better at what religion they are in so as to have more of the peace.
Like religions, all are one and yet not one but all can have peace all the same.
