從愛心出發

問: 上帝看到人世間的痛苦以及人與人之間的仇恨，為何不現身幫助祂的小孩？祂只要現身就夠了！

答: 祂的確隨時都有現身，但我們有慧眼看得到祂嗎？我來這裡就是為了幫你們開智慧眼，讓你們看得到上帝。不然，上帝該如何在世上示現呢？你們希望祂是以什麼身分、什麼國籍、什麼宗教人物出現？到時我們又要爭吵：「祂是我的上帝，祂看起來像耶穌！」佛教徒則說：「不，不，祂是佛，是我們的。」而回教徒也說：「不，不，祂是阿拉。」

那祂要如何說明自己的身分呢？告訴我！祂應該從天而降嗎？人們可能會開槍射祂，認為祂是外星人；有些人甚至會認為祂是魔鬼。這太難了！人們殺害了耶穌，殺害了許多來到人間的上帝；人類已經完全忘記了天國，而且我們很難接受不熟悉的事物。

我說個笑話給你們聽。有個黑人想住進某個地區的公寓，但卻住不進去，因為他是黑人，而有些地方有種族歧視。喔，這是另一個問題：假設上帝以白人的樣子示現，黑人就會被排拒在外；假設祂像希臘人，那麼中國人就不被接受，諸如此類。我們這個世界真的很麻煩！

所以這個黑人就跪在床前向上帝祈禱：「求求您，我想租那間公寓，但他們不肯，因為我是黑人。請加持我，我需要那間公寓，求求您！」上帝跟他說：「別自找麻煩了！找別的地方住吧！即使是我，也沒辦法住進去！」

黑人很困惑地問：「上帝，為什麼？您是萬能的，您可以到任何地方去啊！」上帝說：「如果我到那裡去，他們就會問我信什麼教，那時我就不知道該怎麼解釋了！」這就是上帝所面對的種種無奈，可憐的傢伙！

問: 物質與靈性這兩方面能同時提昇嗎？

答: 是，可以一起提昇。因為一旦我們重新發掘自己的智慧，成為更有智慧的人，我們當然會更聰明能幹，對於生活中所做的每一件事都能清楚判斷，如此一來，我們當然會更成功。因此隨著修行進步，我們在物質方面也會有所成就。但是在開悟以後，我們真的不太在乎這些物質上的收穫，所以我們不會費心把智慧用在這方面。不過我們也可以這麼做，可以兩者兼顧，福慧具足。

Q: God sees the misery and the hatred between people. Why doesn’t Hes present Hirmself in order to aid Hiers children? Hiers Presence would be sufficient.

M: Hes does present Hirmself all the time, but do we have the eyes to see? I’m coming here to try to open your spiritual eye, so you can see God. Otherwise, how does God appear in this world? How do you want Hirm to appear - as what kind of nationality, and what kind of religious figure? Then we fight again: “Hes is my God; Hes looks like Jesus.” Or, the Buddhists say, “No, no, Hes is a Buddha. Hes is mine.”  And the Muslims say, “No, no, that’s Allah’!”

And how does Hes explain Hirmself? Tell me. Should Hes fly from the sky right here? They might shoot Hirm. They might think Hes is an alien. Some people might even think Hes is the devil himself. It’s very difficult. They killed Jesus; they have killed so many Gods that came here. We humans have completely forgotten Heaven, and it’s very difficult for us to accept anything that we are not used to.

I have a joke for you. There was a black man who wanted an apartment in an area, but he couldn’t get in because he was black, since some places are racist. Oh, that’s another thing: Suppose Hes appears white, then the black people cannot go in. Suppose Hes appears like a Greek, then the Chinese people cannot be accepted, etc. It’s very difficult in our world.

So there was a black man who was kneeling beside his bed and said to God, “Please, I want to rent the apartment there, but they won’t let me because I am black. Please, bless me.” I need that apartment, please.” So God said to him, “Oh, don’t bother! Go elsewhere. I also cannot go in there.”

The black man was very puzzled, and he said, “But God, why? You are almighty. You can go anywhere!” So God said, “If I go there, they’ll ask me what kind of religion I belong to, and I don’t know how to explain.” So, that’s so much about God, the poor Guy.

Q: Do material and spiritual elevation go hand in hand?

M: Together, yes; they can. Because when we are wise, when we rediscover our wisdom again, then of course we are more intelligent, more able and more clear in everything we do in life. And of course we will be more successful, so our material success will also go along with the spiritual progress. Sometimes after we're enlightened we don't really care so much about material gain, so we don't bother to exercise our wisdom. But we may do so and become successful in both worlds.
