Thus have we been told by Lord Bo Tien in 1984. The pure and
beautiful flower is the creation of nature. Ants and insects are attracted to the flower and all should not
blame the flower for attracting ants and insects. A heavenly saint is like the
flower and the least expected amongst men will be attracted to the saint like
ants and insects
to the flower. This is not the wrong doing of the flower but nature's way of survival
and existence. That the least expected should be at the helm or in the following
of a temple is not the folly of a heavenly saint and Heaven but Heaven's way to
reach out to all more so the more lost in society. But the folly of men should
not be regarded as Heaven's folly.
This was said in 1984 by the lord saint as the parting pointer to the followers in the last message of the first 13 years of the mission. Now in 2012 we know why he said so and the message will hold true for men in the temples and churches of the various religions for many more years to come.
Controversies have arisen. The integrity of monks, priests and pastors of churches and temples have been called to question and the law of the land have caught up with them.
But God and saints still have place for them as they are the lost sheep though men may regard them as wolves in sheep's clothings. They may even have started out right but along the way go wrong somehow and become like insects to a flower.
