CHE FATT |
|
|
|
Coming in different shapes and forms |
|
Hoping to be better off |
|
Entering into each stage |
|
|
|
Future, some know not |
|
A look at it in general |
|
Taking things as unfair to the eyes |
|
Trying hard to understand why |
|
|
|
Many people who seek to cultivate the Way seem |
|
to be worried at certain sight. Some are granted |
|
with longer time and perfect health but some have |
|
hardly a few years left. Some are born perfect, |
|
yet some are retarded. Why? Why? Why? Man often |
|
asks, why some babies cannot escape Karmic effect |
|
set upon them. |
|
|
|
In general opinion, the ABOVE seems unfair but |
|
how fair is really fair? One is only getting the |
|
effect of the cause. Fair or unfair, man should |
|
not judge. For, although a person may be born mentally |
|
retarded, he is not actually suffering at all. A |
|
retarded person knows not wealth nor fame, desire |
|
nor lust. He is one of the many who is not controlled |
|
by the six senses that act as the tempter. A young |
|
child who suffers from ill-health may be a pitiful |
|
sight to the adults' eyes. But a baby has no |
|
knowledge of the worldly effect. His suffering |
|
is minimum compared to the adult's. Beggars of old |
|
age, many people will pity them. But what does man |
|
actually know of sufferings? The above mentioned |
|
categories are not suffering as much as one thinks. |
|
Some of their past are of true cultivations but owing |
|
to certain faults they have to return to this suffering |
|
plane again. Once their time is completed on this plane, |
|
they will be received in the Pureland. Some return |
|
because they have compassionate love for the worldly |
|
beings and by coming to suffer, they try to cease |
|
the sufferings of man. |
|
|
|
|
|
Every person has his own Karma and his own hope. |
|
The ABOVE merely let the effect take its place. |
|
Remember, a person must learn to cease from attachment |
|
and to realize that each has to cultivate his own |
|
way. A child cannot cultivate for the father nor the |
|
father cultivate for the child. A husband cannot |
|
cultivate for the wife and likewise the circle goes |
|
on. Every person must cultivate his own way and find |
|
his own light. To some extent, it may be taught to you, |
|
but to really find this power of the inner self, it |
|
depends on you. Do not wait for others to show you |
|
the way, but rather try to cultivate your realization |
|
and see it in its clear form. The dot of light is |
|
shown to you but whether you can receive it or not |
|
depends upon the clarity of your sight. |
|
|
|
In this worldly plane, the people cry of unfairness. |
|
Let me ask, who is the right judge to give merits |
|
and to impose punishments? People say that the ABOVE |
|
judges all things alike and HE is empowered to add |
|
or minus point according to the human error or |
|
perfection. But let me tell you the ABOVE is not |
|
your judge. You are your own judge and for merits |
|
gained you add your own point. For punishments |
|
you create your own hell. Why I say this is simply |
|
because man is the creation of Cause and Effect. |
|
Sow good seeds to reap good fruits and this is the |
|
Truth that remains. |
