accept WHATEVER SITUATIONS COME TO YOU
AND FACE YOUR PROBLEMS
Hsihu Center, Formosa July15, 1995.Whenyou go home, take care of your family members. Even though yourbugging husbands and wives are fit to throw away (Master and everyonelaugh); but since you have already accepted him or her in thefirst place, better continue. Because sometimes we think if wechange partners, married to another wife or husband, then we willfeel very, very much better. But it is not always true. And inthe later research, people say that ninety three percent Americanmen, if they have to do it again, they marry the same wife. Soit's good news for you, the American people. And other countries,France, or European country, or maybe other countries, about sixtypercent, seventy percent husbands said the same thing. No countryis less than fifty percent, anyhow. So the majority of men lovethe same women, even though they have divorced and have a highhope to make it better with another one. But, then, after theythink it over or they tried, they would prefer to marry the samewoman.
When we marry with someone, it takes a longtime and a great deal of effort to adjust to each other, is thatnot so? And then first, the honeymoon is sweet and honey and thenlater it is scrubbing and it was painful and then later, bothof you grow up and get used to each other. And it takes a longtime and effort. So it's a pity that now you forsake it and, then,start it all over again, wow! It's the same procedure and samething.
I accept whatever God sends at that momentand take it for the best. Somebody is the best if we have no oneelse to compare to, right? So the more we have the opportunityto compare, our partner or whatever the person we are acquaintedto, the more we have the reason to complain, and the more confusion,more chaos arise. So it is better we stick to the 'tried' andtrusted. And in that case we have less problems, less expectations,and more time to relax and meditate. And whatever problem thereis, be sure that if you change the partner, there would be thesame at least or even more, you have experienced this or not?Do not talk about husband or wife, if you work outside, with manycolleagues or many bosses and, then, you will know what I meantoo, right? He has these but he doesn't have the other things.These are always the problem in this world. So I think, you andI( Master and everyone laugh) better learn to accept the thingsas they come and try to act accordingly, you know what I mean?That's why sometimes you come here and you feel like you wantto complain about some of the organization or some of the misunderstandingsor things like that. You want to correct them, but if you correctthese, later another thing comes. So, you have never really alife without a problem (Master and everyone laugh).
Save Our Energy And ConcentrateOn Spiritual Practice So however we just have to count on God andgood luck in order to survive in this world. Otherwise there isno amount of intelligence and wisdom that can cope with the Mayaof this world. Just because we happened to lose our way and passby this illusionary Maya world, so we get punishment for this.We are actually innocent. We just pass by here. And then we geta spell casted upon us and then we are confused. That's why webetter find the way to go home quickly ( Master laughs). The later,the worse; the darker it becomes; the worse the situation willbe, understand? So anything else like troublesome husband andwives, except when it's extremely, too unbearable, like violenceand threatening to your mind and life, then you must considerleaving, and go somewhere else. Otherwise if just personalities,habits and opinions are differences then I think we just try toignore, try to solve it as much as possible or ignore it in orderso that we can concentrate more and then we go home quicker. Otherwisethere will be a lot of wasted time for us here, adjusting somebody'shabit and personalities while we could advance quicker and quicker,if we concentrate adjusting ourselves in the spiritual practice.Is that not so? So you and I both must remember the importantissues and the less important matters so that we can sort outwhat is the most important. We do it first and we pay more attentionto that. I don't mean to interfere in your personal decision orrelationship. It's just through experiences and with good intention,I tell you that changing environment and relationships don't alwayschange our luck in life.
