No 1538 of Living Life Series 1
When our prayer is not answered, we will not say this is punishment from God or retribution from past misdeeds.
We will say this is for us to learn to handle hardship so that we can be better off from the learning.
We may even believe that God is testing our faith in him.
Others may say that we are in the wrong religion or sect of the same religion.
They will try to convince us to cross over to their sect even if we are of the same religion as theirs.
This is not logical but mere rationalisation to support what is believed.
Rationalisation prevails over logic in religion and in life. It is due to lack of insight and understanding.
We must learn from the issues of fellow men. This Bo Tien 武天 says so that we will not repeat the same flaws and be in good position to share with the others so that all can be better off in spiritual than what they are and in the religion or culture they are already in.
Even in the same temple, differences and opposing cliques arise because of lack of insight in spiritual and every clique will disagree with other cliques.
The failure to grasp the basic truth and the inability to be logical will be problematic even in the same very temple.
Then, there will be pettiness and illwill with no harmony and obviously no spiritual peace in that temple. This will likely happen in any temple.
But luckily most solve the problem by giving way though better it would be if all can work as one.
Bo Tien 武天 opines that truth is so simple but for many it is difficulty to perceive.
Truth is logic but logic is often not there when upstaged by ego and pride.
Ego is why men have problems and create problems upon problems - solve problems by creating more problems.
If people can forgo ego and not let ego hold the reins of life, there will be oneness in diversity of religions and cultures. That would be ideal, awesome and create paradise on earth.
