WEEKEND PROGRAM

[QUESTION:] ...If this is God’s kingdom and God’s land, who makes man suffer? Who causes the most suffering to man?

[ANSWER:] ...Some people who call themselves devotees of God go about chanting the name of God, but the pain they cause others is the primary suffering of all mankind. Everyone else looks after his own livelihood and his own life, but these ‘devotees’ search the roads and streets for people to criticize and blame. They make no allowance for anyone else.

Devotees of this kind chased away the prophets, forcing them from their lands. They cause greater harm to mankind than anyone else. Other people keep to themselves, but these people covet the possessions of others and interfere with others’ lives. God did not give them this suffering. This suffering is caused by man to man.

My son, a true devotee would not waste his time finding fault with others. He would not covet the property of others or interfere in their lives. He would concern himself only with the purpose for which he came and complete his mission, which is to find the way to reach his Creator.

In the same way, you too should escape and establish a peaceful connection between yourself and God. Pray to God and worship Him. That will be very good.
