There is the common truth in life that we must have proper financial planning. We should not spend all we earn and commit all our savings for housing. Worse still, we commit our future earnings as well and too much of this is bordering on indiscretion as if in the event we lose our job and income, we cannot bankroll our debts and expenditures.
The same applies to spiritual. We have finite amount of merits from past and present lives. Our continued peace in life and good fortune is very much dependent on this.
We may inadvertently use up our merits or fortune Thus it is prudent that we need to create more by doing good, more so good to the less fortunate and being good to others without doing disservice to self.
But there are those who over use their fortune of merits and leave nothing to cushion, buffer and prevent bad fortune. Worse still, some even go into overdraft and have to face misfortune of disasters in life. They go into bankruptcy and meet bad fate of accidents and serious illness.
Thus it is best that we lead a humble life, that we lead a simple life and not overdraw on our bank of merits so that they act as cushion for us to avert bad fortune and allow us to depend on in order to continue to have reasonable good fortune for the rest of our life.
We need savings and new earnings of merits to bankroll life of peace. But if we over splurge and overindulge, we will deplete our reserves and go into the red. We may then face misfortunes.
Thus we need to be prudent and not overindulge in worldly pleasures and cultivate Tao or Way.
Be humble and modest. Do value what God gives but do not be greedily attach to life.
Denying life like denying what we have is like denying God. Going greedily for all and more is to enslave our spirit to strife and no life.
Lead a simple and peaceful life and be ready for rainy days. The humble and simple will be exalted and the exalted will be humbled.
Do not go into overdraft and debt. Always have your reserves and buffer. Do manage life fortunes to ensure more lasting peace and a life that is a more uneventful.
We must endeavor to manage life fortunes to ensure more lasting peace. This is more important than living up to the Joneses and suddenly falling down the precipice of misfortune when our fortunes are depleted.
Do not play with life as though life is like the share market, for life is neither a gamble nor a game. Be atop the ups and downs of life like the feet of Lord Bo Tien in his seated image.
Hold on to the inner truth / basic doctrine of God like the right hand of the lord in his image. It is indeed the singular divine fortune we can have. It is and ever will be found in all religions and sects as well as beyond.
Be ever sure and steady in this chosen path of life, neither swaying unnecessarily more to left or to the right as depicted by the left hand in salutation and showing the way ahead.
