DO NOT DEMAND INSISTENTLY ON WORLDLY AFFAIRS
Master Jun Hong Lu: In this world we are living in, do not try to force things to happen. Instead, let things unfold naturally. Do remember what I said before. When your prayer comes true, it is due to your karmic affinities. If it is not destined to happen, no amount of effort will help. Therefore, we must cultivate diligently with the mindset of worldliness. That is to say, we have to do our best in planting the good karmic seeds, but harvest without being tenacious (or with the mindset of other worldliness). As the saying goes, “the planning lies with man, the outcome with heaven.”
