The ABOVE may have HIS power but HE cannot control your fate. The ABOVE has shown mercy but man has not taken heed. Masters after Masters were sent to assist and teachers after teachers were sent to teach. If these do not help you to get out of the suffering sea, nothing will ever help you again. Do not blame the ABOVE, but ask yourself how much you are to be blamed instead. These are the words from Heaven.

There are still many who do not understand the facts of Cause and Effect. In physics, the branch of science dealing with the properties and interactions of matter and energy, it is stated that the harder you throw the ball against the wall, the harder it bounds back. This is cause and effect. Likewise in life, the same principle applies. As much as the ABOVE wishes to help, one must still reap his own harvest whether good or bad. If one does not help himself, no one will be able to help him, not even God. If one does not want to reach the destination, no one can force him. Similarly nobody can force one to believe and follow the path of any particular religion. In the teaching of Tao of Heaven, affinity is very important, but one must understand the eight great pains of human beings that nobody can escape in life.

The eight great pains are 1]birth 2]old age 3]sickness 4]death 5]the pain of not having what one desires to have or unobtainable 6]the pain of being separated from the one you love most of all 7]the pain of feeling bitterness toward someone or always with someone that you hated the most and cannot be separated and 8]the pain of the five senses that cannot be satisfied.

Men who are cultivating the Way are always on guard against themselves. They guard against their senses, their actions and speeches, they guard against their thoughts and control their mind. Men who are not cultivating, will always look for fame, money and lust to satisfy their senses but these will not last. It is better to live a simple but happy life instead of a rich but worrisome life. The truth is things that can be seen may not be of help but things that are formless may help. An example is happiness is there and it is not there and it cannot be seen with the naked eyes, it is formless.

Mental pain can lead one to death or suicide, it can be much worse than physical pain. Understanding the mind is hence very important to control your life. The mind needs to be developed so that one can accept and live with the sufferings. Feel the tragedies of mankind, give joyousness whenever required, and show mercy in return you shall receive mercy. In that manner, we will not question God, and understand the purpose of our coming and the mission if one is destined to carry out. In the teachings of Tao of Heaven; we can determine and change our fate. If we are in pain now, the best is to accept and live with the pain if medicine cannot relieve it and develop our minds to be strong enough to face anything in life.
