如果我們將創造性的思考和精力用在好事上，那麼世界在各方面都會越來越向上發展，各方面都會受益。如果我們將它用在比較低的層面，那麼我們就會造出很強大的否定力量，足夠把全人類和地球都摧毀。所以，世界上才會有那麼多的原子戰，數百萬的人也因而失去生命。其它還有許多可怕的生化武器，造成人類和其他眾生無止盡的痛苦。有些人就是喜歡把自己的聰明才智用在那個方面，實在很悲哀！不過這個世界就是這樣。

　所以，我們來這裡不是來期待每個人都像佛、天使、或是像我們那麼好，我們的目的只是來將自己好的一面表現出來，而不期待任何回報。我們的職責就是不斷地將自己好的一面表現出來，而不是等別人將他們好的一面表現出來，他們是怎麼樣，就是怎麼樣。將自己好的一面表現出來，不僅是我們的目標和職責，對自己也有好處，我們要時刻都表現我們好的一面，而這更是我們應該發展的部分。如果我們要重回天國，要和上帝同一體，要變得像上帝那樣，那我們的唯一抉擇就是要常常保持善良和高雅的風範，而不要管別人的表現，不要管他們選擇如何出現在我們生活中。現在你們瞭解為什麼世界是這個樣子了吧！那是由於人們以及我們在前世所做的選擇所造成的。

　有時候猶豫不決也會給我們造成困擾，例如我們看見好事，心裡有一股動力想要做這個改變，但卻沒有付諸行動，這樣也會造惡業。我們必須承擔自己猶豫不決、過於軟弱所造成的後果，因為我們看見好事，看見應該挺身護衛、應該改變的事，但我們沒有去做。所以，不僅行動會造成因果，裹足不前也會帶來因果。在這個世界上，只要動一個念頭、走路、呼吸、轉個身、講話，都會有因果，結果好或壞就看你怎麼想、怎麼反應、怎麼說話。所以，要時時做好、想好、說好，那麼當來的結果一定會好，至少不會差，或至少是不好不壞。

　而這也就是為什麼我們必須常常念佛號，以提醒自己造化中神聖而高等的品質，直到我們和上帝同一體或是重回明師的故鄉，成為自己的明師。只有在那裡，我們才能擁有永恆的快樂，因為我們已經瞭解自己是誰，所以不會再造煩惱或做壞事。當我們走完旅程、獲得了悟，完成實驗的過程之後，我們便會成為明師，然後我們什麼都會知道。

Master's Words

~ Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
July 26, 1996 (Originally In English)

If we use our creative thinking and our creative energy for good purposes, then the world will go up and up and up, in all kinds of developments and all kinds of benefits. If we use them in a lower way, then we also create a very, very big kind of negative force that can destroy humankind or the planet. That's why we have a lot of atom bombs and wars that kill millions of people, a lot of very terrible chemical and germ warfare weapons, which also create a lot of suffering for humankind and other living beings as a whole. Some human beings prefer to use their genius in that way. It's a pity, but the world is like this.

So it's not that we come here and try to expect that everyone becomes as good as God, or an angel, or ourselves. But our purpose is to show how good we are. That's all and nothing else in return. That's our duty. We always have to show how good we are; that's it, not to wait for other people to show how good they are. Whatever they are, they are. To fulfill our purpose, our duty, and for our own good, we always have to show that we are good. That's the part that we must develop. And that's the only choice we have if we want to go back to the Kingdom of God and be God-like, or return to be one with God. If that's our purpose, we must always be good, be noble and disregard how other people choose to represent themselves at any moment in our lives, or our encounters.

Now you understand why the world is like this, because of the choices that people have made and the choices that we made in our past lives, too. Some of the choices we didn't make, by being indecisive, also caused trouble. If we see something good, and we have the urge inside to change, and we don't do it, that also creates bad karma. We also have to partake in the consequences of that, of our indecisiveness, of our weakness, when we see good things, we see the things that we should defend, that we should change, and we don't, or we did not. So it's not only our actions that bring consequences. Our inaction also brings consequences. Anything in this world, whatever you think, wherever you walk, you breathe, you turn around, you talk, everything brings some result, bad or good, depending on how you think, how you react, or how you talk.

So we have to always be good, think good thoughts, and speak good words, so that the consequences in the future will be good, or at least less bad or neutral. That's why we always have to recite the Holy Names. They sort of remind ourselves of these holy and higher qualities of creation, until we become one with God or go back to the master's house. We need to be masters of ourselves. That is the place where we can feel eternal happiness. Because we already know ourselves for what we are, we have no need to make trouble and create bad things again. When we have finished our journey, our realization, finished the experimenting process, then we become masters. Then we know everything.
