No 1333 of Living Life Series 1
We like to wish everyone well. But before we can do so, we should not bear grudges against anyone.
If we cannot do so, how can we wish him well at same time. That would be contradictory.
It is like telling someone, God loves him on one hand and at the same time say that he has this or that problem in life because of retribution for not only not accepting God, but also NOT doing so in the their way.
Many want others to do their way. That is why there are many new sects, temples and churches sprouting every year all over the world. This is the problem of men.
The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 observes that the problems and issues of men are many and plentiful. Men create problems even while solving them.
Men in the name of God and saints tell others that God will bless them but at the same time in the same breath say in the name of God and saint that God and saint will take them to task and they will have to face consequences for their mistakes, Isn't that ironical?
A tree that wants to touch the sky must extend its roots into the earth. The more it wants to rise upwards, the more it has to grow downwards.
So to rise in life be it spiritually or otherwise, we must be down to earth, humble and grateful. We must be prepared to do the ground works, be in tune with others, come down to their level, dirty our hands by being hands on, go along with them, not act high and mighty and not go for just the juicy parts. We should start off the day every morning by being mindful of this. We must never be carried away by thinking we know better.
The good lord Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨 adds that if a tree has deep roots that reach subterranean water, it will better grow taller, be evergreen and bear fruits more often as it would not be affected by drought or dependent on gardeners.
Be rooted in goodness and purity and that is even better than be waiting for alms and handouts by others. But there will be many who have to depend on gardeners or saints of life.
Gardeners or saints do help. But we have to grow our roots and be rooted in purity and goodness - what is referred to by the good lord as the inner truth behind all religions and the teachings of all saints.
