If there is no religion which is unlikely, there is still God and saints. If there is no saints which too is unlikely, there is still God. If there is no God, which is far fetched there is still the basic truth or the inner truth that is behind religions, saints and God. So what is most important is to know the truth or doctrine. It is referred to as Tao or Way. It is also the logic behind life - The Tou-li.
God and saints are at peace come what may. They are able to be atop the yin and the yang, the hardness and softness of life and nature, the active and passive polarities of life, the constant flux of worldly contingencies like gain-loss, praise-blame, honor-dishonor, happiness-sorrow, health-ill-health. form-formlessness and birth-death.
We can be with God and saints if we can have the peace of God and saints. We need only to be atop and balance the yin and yang. This is the Tao or Tou-li. It is as simple as that but yet not so simple.
Cultivate the Tao and make it a way of life. Have moment to moment mindfulness.
Do not deny life. Do not indulge in life. Live life without denial and indulgence. Make life work for us and do not work for life. Balance the polarities, the yin and yang. This is the Tou-li or Doctrine.
Lord Bo Tien reiterates that those who know the Doctrine know God and saints. Those who do not, know not God and saints even if they are with God and saints.
It may not be worthwhile to know who is God, is God the creator or part creator, is He created and can he create.
Just know the Tou-li, cultivate it and develop the moment to moment peace of God and saints. Then we will be with God and saints even in this life.
We will be near though in a sense still far from God and saints. But it is better than to be near in the very church or temple of God but yet far, not knowing Tou-li and not having taste the peace of God and saints.
Cultivate the peace of God and saints. Then God and saints will be in us and we in God and saints. We can do so through any religion or sect of our choice and preference.
There is no need to deny that God and saints exist. There is also no need to cling to God and saints. Both extremes of denial and clinging are not good. Just know the Tao Doctrine and make it a way of life.
Do let it be alive in our lives, that is, come to life in our individual lives. Then we have God and saints in us, specifically the living peace of God and saints - what some religions refer to as the Holy Spirit and others as the taste of Deliverance (Enlightenment).
