Search for Truth
	CHAPTER 7
	(Back To Main Page)
	Coming into the Pure Gate
	Hoping to be a disciple
	Erasing all thoughts of impurity
	Future action depends on thee
	A gate that allows your existence
	Take heed that one does not deceive
	Tempting to learn from the Master
	Teachings must be observed in all ways
	Attempt to purify the impurity
	Only have a purpose as a student
	Changing the manner of present life-style
	Helping to propagate as all disciples should
	Encourage all to take up the task.
	In your surroundings there are many religious places
	where there is truth that you should gain. People from
	all walks of life, walk into different centers hoping
	to learn. They take up the status as disciple and
	try to act as one. What actually is a disciple? What
	is his task? These questions, man may never ask themselves.
	By entering the holy place they hold onto name with pride.
	Being a disciple in a holy place does not mean that one
	will truly gain. Man will then ask, if they do not gain
	as a disciple, who will instead?
	Let me explain in the most simple way. Everyone upon
	Initiation can claim to be a disciple. But is he really
	one? Only his actions will tell. A person who merely holds
	onto the name without practising the teachings is only a
	disciple in name. A true disciple will uphold the Truth
	and the teachings of the Master with faith. However, when
	doubt arises, he must seek clarification. Uphold the
	teachings not merely in words but with every action which
	must be in accordance with the teachings.
	However, humans are still human and surely they are
	fallible. Since wrong is seen, remedy one must seek.
	Although one may not have attained the stage of holiness,
	he must still try his best to uphold it. If the word 'try'
	does not even appear in the mind, then how can man see
	improvement? Although in many holy places, there are rules
	and precepts to follow, yet man has never followed them fully.
	So, 'try' is the only thing that WE ask from you.
	The duty may seem heavy to the disciples but upon attainment,
	they will prove its worthiness. To follow the rules is only
	one of the duties. Man must try to learn the essence of the
	teachings. Truly understand the words that are spoken and
	their meanings within. Increase your knowledge of all things
	and try to realize the truth in them. Man upon total realization,
	will be able to undertake the task to lead. Lead on with a
	pure heart and combine the actions of virtues with it.
	Propagate in the right manner the teachings taught to you.
	Learn to have a more compassionate heart and work among all
	as one big family. Although the centre of teachings may be
	different, the Truth is the same. If each can work within
	his own boundary, then all will be in harmony.
	The purpose of the various places that teach the Truth
	is to teach the Truth to man, but not to increase fighting
	among themselves for fame. Learn to accept one another and
	live with compassion as the Heavenly Beings. All things when
	pass on, one will not find their return again.
	CHE FATT
	Cherish the holy places in their own way
	Holding onto the true name as disciple
	Entering into deep voidness
	Fantasy one will not have insight
	Assuring of self respect, be pure
	Take on the task without any blame
	Thank God instead that it was you.
