God Entrusts To Me A New Life

By Fellow Initiate Lee, Hong Kong

When the doctor told me that I was pregnant, I was very calm and not at all afraid. I broke the news to my husband and we were all filled with joy. We knew that since Master had already set us free from the karma accumulated during our past lives, the one who was to come to our fully initiated family must be a spiritual practitioner as well. He or she belonged to Master, and was a Bodhisattva designated by Her to come for spiritual fulfillment.

Through my body, God brought him into being, and entrusted us to care for him. Our family was filled with joy; from the bottom of our hearts, we felt that a good friend was coming to bless this world with us. Together, we would make the world more beautiful and brilliant.

At the beginning, my husband was worried about how to take care of the child and the added financial burdens. Then one day, while he was on the street, he was injured by a piece of wooden board that fell from high above and, and he began to bleed. As he received five stitches in the hospital, he was enlightened immediately! He realized that life is ephemeral. Without him, the child would still grow up under Master's care. All is not of our doing, because we can't even take care of ourselves. All the living beings are being cared for by God; Hes has arranged everything perfectly for every being.

From my husband's accident, I became more enlightened and no longer complained so much about the world, for I now realized that I had come willingly just like my baby. I used to complain to my mother about bringing me into this world; now I understood that it was not my mother but myself who eagerly wanted to come to follow an enlightened master for spiritual practice. As long as Master is here, we have no fear of anything. Master will take hold of our hands, liberate us from the cycle of birth and death, and lead us to go beyond the fifth world together.

After initiation, every incident makes us more enlightened. Through each occurrence, we understand more about God, and we merge closer to Master as well.
