Read why the wrong approach to God may create hell for you in life
Who would you think is closer to God and saints? Is he the one who thinks he has a long way to go before he can stand before God or the one who thinks he has already arrived and is with God and saints but actually is far way?
The far may be near and the near far. This the lord messenger of God Lord Bo Tien did say.
The one who thinks he has arrived and cries aloud that God is with him and he with God may well be in delusion that he can have instant or overnight union with God.
He talks of the promise by God and that promise is a reality overnight. He lives in delusion that all the issues of men can be wished away by believing in God. But mere believe will not whisked away the issues in life.
Such a man lives in a dream and the dream will just burst in his face and he will find himself in hell on earth. He will be in anguish and exclaim why has God forsaken him though he believes and has faith.
The problem is that he is not alone but pulls others into his dream or delusion and they too will be in anguish when the dream bubble burst.
The one who thinks he is far from God and saints but keeps a respectful distance and remains stoic in face of problems in life. He knows that he has long way to go and many more steps to God and saints.
Such a man is a real rarity these days. He is usually meek, humble, realistic and pragmatic with both feet planted firmly in the ground of life and yet has confidence that one day though not soon or the next day, he will make it to God and saints.
He suffers not in anguish while waiting to make it with God and saints. He takes satisfaction in the little progress or peace in life that he can have moment by moment.
He is the man of the moment but unlike other men of moment who have no vision, he has a vision but is never a victim of anguish just because the vision cannot be realized overnight. He has a vision but is neither a fatalist (nothing else matters except the now) nor a dreamer. He is near to God and saints though far.
He has yin yang balance in life, neither myopic and going for the moment without any vision at all nor long sighted with presbyopia and deluded (cannot live in the now and living in a big dream bubble of being the immediate choice of God and saints).
There should be good yin yang balance with no blindness, myopia nor presbyopia but good proper balanced sightedness or vision in life. That way one is near to God though far at the moment.
The true man of God is not blind to life and God. He also has yin yang balance and sees life in good vision, neither dreamer nor short sighted.
Correct yin yang balance in approach to God is best. But not many can make it, for many will be out of balance and may end up fanatical somehow. But they will still learn. God will bless them, even if due to their views, they are in their own created hell but they will not be in hell for long. God is benevolent.
Correct yin yang balance in approach to God is best if one is to avoid creating that really hell of a mess for oneself due to imbalance of yin yang approach.
Correct yin yang approach to God is best if we are not to be in hell of a life and create hell for others' lives because of our wrong orientation or erring ways. Cult culture is also one such consequence.
