We have finite useful years and in fact for those older, not many years left. What we can do, we just do for the mission of God and saints to save souls through any religion or sect.
Lord Bo Tien is but a messenger for the mission. He is not here to start a new religion or sect. But we can say the Mission of Heaven is his mission or responsibility. The mission can optionally start with a mission-related temple in his name.
If we cannot get along with others in mission, there is no need to submit to them or to be at odds with them. We just adopt the path of least resistance, even if this means that we are loners. It is better to be loners than to rub people the wrong way round or be rubbed by them in unpleasant ways.
We need to lead simple life at pace that brings us peace and is meaningful. Don't make life complex and there is no need to know what others are doing all the time, perhaps most of the time.
Basically do let them handle their own lives and not try to handle for them. We come in and help them only when appropriate but mind you, we do not make use of them or be made use off by them. This would not be easy but it is best to be simple and be contented. This is not giving up and letting go.
We need just to be simple and move on with sunrise and sunset. Be happy with each sunrise and sunset. It is as simple as that.
To be simple means neither to give up nor to overdo, to indulge in life and wanting all and having less. We do not go for zero or void and we also do not go for more and more, making life complex, complicated and no more simple and peaseful.
Perhaps, we could be a bit more adventurous at times.
At times, there is no harm to withdraw from life and society once in a while and know that this is not the answer. We will not be at peace.
We too can at times rush around and be busy bees. This too we will learn is unpleasant and life will be dread, not peaceful.
Then we will realise that the best is to moderate and be simple in life, have a bit of many things but not too much and at a pace we are comfortable with. This then is life and truly best way to live. This is the way or Tao of the sages.
This same way works for us both in spiritual and mundane life. It can be practised regardless of religious culture and affiliation or even if none. Be simple and have more. Want more and end up less.
Perhaps take a break, go to the sea and to the mountains and be at peace. Go for the buzz of society and be busted. Be at peace and not be in pieces.
Stay clear of those who rattle and dazzle if we do not want to have less or no peace. They are noisy and can be 'nosey'.
Thus sometimes being alone is good but not good enough. We need to associate with the wise men and honor those men who are worthy of honor. These Gautama Buddha say will be best for us. We will be that more blessed and peaceful.
