No 1147 of Living Life Series 1
We always know that we have to do our part in life to make life work not only for us but for family and for society.
But many are so far from this when they just want what they want out of life and expect all others to do their part to make this possible. Aren't they impossible?
This exactly is how civil rights can turn ugly for society if taken to ridiculous limits. But then some will say why must they comply with what are set into motion by others perhaps the powers that be - be it in religion or secular society.

From the spiritual perspective, we must roughly know why we are born into the present life and what are we set to do in this life which we have not done in previous lives.
We can have indications from the life we are born into - the country, the society, the family and the resources we are born into such as our health our assets and our liabilities. We can also take stock of the milestones that unfurl in our life.
These will somehow point to the part we are expected or destined to do, to fulfil or to learn. We must fulfil the part that are indicated and if we do so, then life will just run smoother. If not problems aplenty may arise and make life rough and tough.

This is what fate is all about. No matter how, there is the element of fate which all must contend with. God and saints can help and provide guidance. But a man must know why at times even God and saints seem to be helpless. This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 say.
In short, we must have insight. We must reflect and know the game plan of life as it unfurls and like the chess board, we must know what lies in store for us, otherwise we will be checked mate. We must know how to play the game of life. We must know how to live our part. Always think hard. Are we living our part?
But less we forget, we can at times change fate but before we can do that we must fit into the part and do our part. We must cultivate Tao 道 and generate more vibrant pure and divine energy. We must have pure heart.
How to arrive at ultimate Tao 道 and not have any fate is a long journey but do not lose heart. Tao 道 is not complicated as it is just common sense.
But it is not as common as it should be when we are given to emotion and not calm and collected. Well, what do we expect when we invariably have false views, greed and ill-will, we will no longer think and be logical.
We will be creatures of emotion and no longer peaceful. We must not be emotion driven but logic driven. Many live by emotion and when emotion has the better of religion, what do we expect...
