Spiritual Interludes

By Fellow Sister Yang Hui-jiao, Taipei, Formosa

My son loves music and has been longing to have an electric keyboard ever since he set his eyes on one. We agreed to save money together. One day, while
we were chatting, he said, "If anyone wants to use the electric keyboard in the future, they would have to ask both of us."

I told him, "That won't be necessary. You can make the decisions yourself. Though we are saving money to buy the keyboard together, it belongs to you." My son then said, "In that case, you will have to ask me when you want to use it." I replied, "Okay."

It suddenly struck me that this is exactly what Master Mommy has been doing with us! She tells us to meditate (to save our "airfare" back to heaven). But actually we contribute just a tiny bit and She is paying the larger part of our fare. She demands that we make an effort just so we will cherish the opportunity. We are truly grateful to You, our dearest Master Mommy!
