No 1429 of Living Life Series 1
We often like to make the excuse not to try hard enough in life. We keep on saying that God will help us and answer our prayers.
When we look for a job we like, we may just apply for that one job and wait it out. We are confident that we will get the job. Why?
We simply have confidence that God will answer our prayers.
When we don't get the job, we dare not question why God did not answer our prayers. We simply insist that God has better plans for us.
Leave it to God. Is this misconceived faith in God?
Why must we fold arms and not do more. Just wait it out and the job will be there for us. It is the will of God and we will get the job. Whether we get it or not is of no concern. Have faith and God will provide. If it is the wish of God, the job will look for us even if we do not even apply for it.
Is religion meant to make us like that and out of touch with reality and always living in the fantasy world? It is simply so wonderful to stay on and hold on to the dream.
Religion then makes us replace reality with dreams. The dreams become the reality and we live in. It is as though we are not in this world, out of this world. We even deny the real world and even deny our family.
We may even arrive at the conclusion that God will have much better plans for us if we cannot land ourselves with any job at all. God will bless us so that our family and our parents will provide enough money for us.
This will be even better as we have all the time and all the money we want. Just ask the family and parents and God will make sure they will give more money to us.
We become more grateful to God and may think little of the good intention of the family and parents.
When parents and family question us why we still do not have a job, we shout back at them telling them not to question and to trust us as we are grown-ups. We tell, they should not meddle with our lives and leave us alone. We may even shout at them because we think Satan has made use of them to interfere how we want to conduct our grown-up life.
To make matters worse, we may assume others know what we are talking when in fact we talk few words to them. We jumped at them for not being attentive and always tell them off with "How come you don't know? "
We don't even let them any space and time to explain. We just rubbished them off and think they are plain stupid and dumb. We stay out of the way even in the same house, shut our doors to them and get them out of our sight. We want to have as little to do with them.
If religion makes us this way, then isn't that awful? But we insist that God is awesome and we are in fact better off and more comfortable, with all the time in the world and still have plenty of money. All we need is to pray to God. If we persist in asking family and making a fuss and din for family, money will come our way. We even tell off our parents that they should spend less and give us more. We tell them that they do not know how to spend money wisely.
Has religion and God belief gone into our heads and make us bonkers? We can be better off without religion and God belief. Why is this so? Isn't that being godless and lost even with God in every minute and second in our mind?
Bo Tien 武 天 says that humanity must learn from life and learn from the mistakes of other men so that humanity can be better than what they are, better in all aspects of life, in religions and outside and beyond religions.
There is more truth in life. Often popular religion misused by men may end up derailing men from the truth that is in life and in all religions.
This is the Inner Truth as it is in life and inside all religions. Bo Tien 武 天 highlights this.
Those in religions who are derailed from reality and create more unreality or untruths for themselves seem near to God and saints but yet very far from God and saints.
Bo Tien 武 天 says the near can be far and the far near. If we are far from any religion, but are realistic about life and do not abuse the God-belief, we are near to God and saints though far.
We don't even have to idolise God or saints if idolizing and hero worshipping them make bonkers out of us.
Bo Tien 武 天 says that in any religion, God is the Word and the Word is God. If we know the Word or truth in life and common to all religions, we know God and saints. If we do not know the Word or doctrine of truth in life even if we worship God and saints, we do not see God as God but see only the devil in us in God. Do you get it?
