If we are still attached to anything of the world, then we are in the shadow of losing it in any moment. We can only rely on Him, the inner master, the Almighty power. Then we are really fearless, at ease and liberated.
I've always been the beloved
daughter of God since my
childhood, because in some way,
without much effort I own some
things which others don't even
if they have a strong desire and
work very hard for them. Some of
them are very jealous of me. But
I am not proud of these things
because I know deeply in my
heart that all these things come
from God, not me. Every time if
I am too attached to those
things or rely too much them, do
not have the gratefulness of God
or forget His love, then He will
take them away from me to
cleanse all the obstructions
between He and I. Again and
again He teaches me with endless
patience, despite my tears and
sorrows, to let me know what is
really important and let me get
closer and closer to Him. It's
not that He is so narrow-minded
to need my thanks; but if I love
anything more than Him, then it
will be the obstracle between He
and I, keeping me away from Him.
So every time He takes something
away from my hand, there is
always His mercy, compassion and
blessings hidden deeply in it.
It's said in the Bible, "If God
closes a door, then He will open
another window for you." Master
also told us a story about a
lady and a king. The king told
the lady that she could take any
one thing from his palace if she
wished. The wise lady choose to
take the king himself. Because
when she owned the king, then
she owned the whole kingdom.
It's the same if we surrendered
everything, and rely on Him
only; then we'll have everything
He has created.
Master once told
us, "As long as you practice
goodness and fairness. there
will be always a negative power
to try to attack you, to try to
make you stray from your
purpose, trick into different
directions, sidetrack you. So it
takes a lot of determination and
principles to control ourselves,
to check our way, to check our
life, so that you always grow in
the right direction without
regret, without complaining if
you don't have any good result
out of it.... But despite all
these obstruction and
ungratefulness of any kind, we
still continue to improve. We
still continue to improve
ourselves to do what is right
because it is right. Because it
is the challenge of this world
that we will always speak the
way of God, we always speak the
commandments of the conscience.
That's how we rise above all the
differences and all the praise
and the blame to be a noble
beings." (Excerpt from "The key
of Immediate Enlightenment
", Book V -- spoken on June 5,
1993.)
I used to have the idea
that we are safe if we have the
initiation of a living master.
But now I know that if we are
not serious enough to ourselves
in practice, if we don't have
strong faith and true sincerity
in the path, if we are not
worthy of the method that Master
transmitted to us, then we can
not pass all the trials. I
begged God with tears, " Please
don't be so strick to the
sentient beings in this world.
becsue it's a pity if one fails
off the path after the
initiation." But I received His
supreme love from this strick
and harsh lesson; and with tears
and sorrows, I attained the
courage to face the whole world
if I am on the righteous side. I
don't think that I could have
made itthrough before. Master
told us many times that the
Golden Age is coming soon. I've
learned from the holy scriptures
that people can communicate with
God directly in the Golden Age.
When we really rely on Him only
and listen to the instructions
of the Supreme wisdom directly,
we are in the Golden Age right
now!
