No 1302 of Living Life Series 1
Who is the real man of God and saints? Is he the one who takes over the temple set up through the pioneer elder who helped break barriers to set up the temple or is he the pioneer elder?
The one who takes over would like to think that he is the one and would take pains to insist that the pioneer elder has claimed unnecessary credit. The pioneer elder was only one of many. But he forgets that without the firmness and head bashing ways of the elder, doors would not have opened and the temple would not have come about.
When the temple cómes about and rose as a concrete building from the ground, there are those who take the opportunity to walk in and claim glory.
They speak as though the pioneer elders and the few who stood with him are the bad eggs and the temple is better off without them.
They come like heros to liberate the temple from th clutches of the pioneer elder. They flock like insects to the flower for nectar. This did the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 did say could happen to any temple of a lord saint.
Worse still, the elder pioneer may end up portrayed as the villain. When he tries to rectify the situation, he is outnumbered and the table is turned against him.
He shouldn't try too hard, perhaps not even try at all. He may end up his own undoing when it is they who is the cause of his undoing. Whatever good he has done in the past cannot be written off by men. The good will be etched in heaven.
Heaven has recognised him though men may not, more so men who are too eager to dash in to take over the success he has helped to bring about.
He became their eyesore and a reminder that they who came later were not the ones who have built the place and done good. Isn't this uncouth and unnecessary - more of the play of the devil of the egos in men?
Be mindful that this not happen and if it does happen, this is due to the failure of the grasp of the teachings of the lord saint not only by those who come like insects but those whom the insects of men come to displace.
Who is the real man of God and saints? It seems that perhaps no one is. As the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 says - the near may be far and the far near.
Alas, if we care to know we will realise that those who take over the temple built by pioneers to the exclusion of pioneers want to be near but yet far. The ones who pioneered and toiled to get it up too are far though near if they cling on to their glory and wrestle with those who deny credit to them
Both can be deviled by the ego and the failure to see and live in doctrine. The Word is the image (the saint) and the saint (the image) is the Word - so said the good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 .
All will be far though claiming to be near to God and saints. But then again because all are far and lost, God and saints want to reach out to them to change them and enabled them to be on the correct path and be saved. So they had to be near though far. '
God and saints will open the temple doors to them - to all to be exact. It is not a problem at all if they are like insects coming to a flower for nectar. But blame not the flower for insects coming to it.
