1974 Lord Bo Tien said, "From time to time in history, saints arose amongst men to lay down certain
rules and regulations to help the masses lead better lives and to incline them
towards GOD. "
"Over time, these rules become the tenets of an organised religion, but the idealistic spirit and motive, which prevailed during the founding saint's life time, changed gradually after his passing with arising of sects and differing sectarian styles."
"This is why often an organisation cannot bring out spiritual truth more effectively and closer to true nature of life unique to each individual in society... Religious organisations often may end up over time as archaeological departments trying to discover the past."
"Therefore, I shall not attempt to establish any new religion, cult or organisation. But I shall rekindle and re-invigorate the religious thought* of all people and instill a higher understanding of life in them."
Inner truth netizen adds that over the centuries, each successive generation in every religion added and interpreted what they believe should be known to the people.
In the process, what was basically plain and simple became complex though more appealing.
Believe it or not, the truth of God is actually simple and many are lost in the sea of knowledge often academic presented by religions and sects.

That is why there is the often renewed call for basic fundamentalism. But in the push for fundamentals behind religions, men create more confusion and make the truth unreachable to the ordinary man. Truth is actually simple and plain. It is for all not just for the literate and the academic. Truth too may not be as sweet and may even be bitter.
The mission of Lord Bo Tien is to present this simple truth to people irrespective of their beliefs, religions and sects but alas men supposedly committed in carrying out his mission may create confusion, add on their perspectives, thinking they know better and defeat the divine purpose of the lord saint, the messenger of God.
