Love the way to go but what if....

Hatred is not appeased by hatred. By love alone is it quelled.
If somehow, you cannot love someone, at least don't hate him. Adopt silence and keep your distance.
That way, you do not stoke the fire of ill will.
If he still comes after you, you have no choice
but to show goodwill.
If anger in him cannot be doused despite your goodwill,
offer your other cheek if he had slapped you on one cheek.
This did Lord Jesus say.
If you have no ill will, you are like a flower
and it is not your fault if those who hate you
go after you for personal agenda.
They are like insects going to you for nectar.
At least you are not insects amongst men
and can honestly hold up your head
and say that you are a saint
like the saint of a temple who cannot be blamed
if ants amongst men come to a temple for nectar.
There are many who manage a temple
not out of love but out of greed for name and gain
with hatred for those who stand in their way. 
Lord Bo Tien doth say that
we should not blame the saint
 if men come to his temple for gain 
like insects to a flower for nectar

Yin yang optimisation for better fate

Learning Point No 51

Ji Gong Posat

Thus inner truth netizen would like to share. The life of fulfilment is one rich in peace and one is able to have the best of situations by ensuring balance of yin and yang. One needs to be wise by knowing that to be wise overnight is not possible and one needs to cultivate the virtues of the sages of old and to create an as ideal a milieu by tapping into resources both of this world and beyond. Ji Gong Posat knows that the ordinary man cannot make it alone even if he tries to as he has the full gamut of his past and present deeds to reckon with. As long as the intent is right and there is effort to make good out of life, saints like Ji Gong will help by divine intervention to balance the yin and yang milieu in life, so that even if there be no paradise, there will be optimisation of the resources of the individual past and present. Go for the balance of yin and yang by own effort, by shelter provided by the divine and by cultivating the Way of Tao. Lord Bo Tien said that one has to nurture his own candle flame but the candle flame of life shines more if sheltered by the saint and if that flame is with the goodness of many others. The latter two will ensure yin yang optimisation to bring out more light to one's life. Big issue, if any will be small issues even if they cannot be no issue. Thus fate will turn out better than it would be 

The direction of the mission

Learning Point No 50

Thus is the understanding of inner truth netizen. What a lord saint brings together in a mission, let not men bring them apart but instead let there be consensus and cooperation to bring oneness in diversity. Thus the lord saint said that candle flames need not be same size, shape and color but they can come together. The amassing of candle flames light up the way far better than individual flames.

Temple of man or saint?

Learning Point No 49

Lord Bo Tien

Thus I, inner truth netizen, have been told not once but many times in the past. Has it not been said by the lord saint that one day those in the various temples bearing His name will think that He does not exist and is the concoction of men?These are the people who are near to Him but do not know Him because they do not know and have no religious fervour for the doctrine. Those who know the doctrine know the saint. Those who do not, know not the saint even if the saint is beside them. When the sad state of affairs comes about, the temple of the lord will take back seat and be overshadowed by the temple of man with man making decisions and calling the shots. This scenario happens in all religions, sects and places of worship and the saint involved should not be blamed, just as a flower cannot be blamed when insects come to it for nectar. This is the problem with many conventional religious institutions run by the word of men instead of by the  word of saint. This is the reason why religions can often lose the touch and appeal of the pioneers. Thus there is the need for the mission and the conscious effort to correct this and bring out the original appeal - the inner truth with all the religious zest,  fire and fervour of the pioneers.

The doctrine will appeal more to followers of all faiths

Quote from Revisit of 1975 message of Lord Bo Tien

Lord Bo Tien's purpose is not to start a new sect or
religion but to show that the doctrine is present in all
religions and all it takes is to understand the doctrine
for all in the various religions to be more spiritually
awakened in their respective religions. In fact in 1975,
the lord said that the doctrine is for all to know so that
they can better know God and life through their
respective religions. Time will bear witness that those
who know the doctrine best, know their religions
better and are near to Lord Bo Tien even though they
are adherents of the various religions and sects.
The purpose is not to win others to a new sect or
temple in His name but to enable other religions
 to be more appealing and effective. This is the desired
outcome of the mission Lord Bo Tien sets out to do.
This is thus referred to as The Mission of Heaven.
Thus the followers of other saints / faiths may be
nearer to the lord and more adept at the Mission than
those active in the various temples bearing His name.
Those who know the doctrine knows the lord.
Those who do not know not the lord
The far may be near and the near far.
These did Lord Bo Tien say.

The emissary of Lord Bo Tien in 1975 said on mission day, "Among the many present here are the followers of the various religions. They together with their other brethrens not present (at the temple) are keen to learn of the Doctrine of the lord saint (the Inner Truth behind life and faiths). Even the heavenly beings of the different spiritual schools and of the various planes or dimensions are also present to listen to the Doctrine."

The many issues of men

Learning Point No 47 

For more. go to What Ji Gong wants us to know

Thus is the understanding of inner truth netizen. The issues of men are many and plentiful. Look up to men and more issues you will have. Look up to God and saints instead. Big issues will be small issues even if they cannot be no issue. Small issues will be no issues. But if men look up to men, at times small issues can even end up as big issues. Men may end up getting divided in the name of religions and even for the same sect or religion. Bigotry festers and terrorism rares its ugly head.

Inner truth netizen adds that even  management committee work of any temple too may fester illwill instead of fostering goodwill, thus creating more problems than solving problems. Let no man think he has arrived and can judge other men and act on behalf of God and saints to put in place his brethren in the  service of the same saint and the one God.

May all men live by the word of God rather than by the word of man, otherwise there will be risk of worship of man instead of God and saints. That can be an issue with men when they take up active participation in any religious institution.

Be rich in spirit

Learning Point No 46

Lord Buddha

Thus have I understood.

Go not for more of the wealth on earth that is of the flesh but for the wealth of the spirit. When the spirit is rich, there is happiness but happiness may be transient and not a certainty with wealth of the world and flesh.

Buddha said that there are four types of happiness that man can have that bring happiness that goes beyond and transcends the world.

They are,

"Health is the highest gain.
Contentment the greatest wealth.
Self confidence the greatest kin.
Enlightenment the greatest bliss."

Do be rich in spirit and that will be better than be rich in flesh but poor in spirit. Do not on the other hand deny and mortify the flesh and body for then one cannot be rich in spirit.  

Lord Bo Tien  too dealt on the  same issue but in yet another way when He elaborated on doctrine of inner truth that brings on the inner peace of the spirit. There is need to balance the yin and yang of life as depicted by His seated image with feet  on the elements.

Be rich in spirit but please do not snuff out the spirit of life by denial of the body of flesh and blood. To be rich in spirit in this optimal way will require balance that sages of old talked about.
