Master Speaks on Opening Day

Haster Speaks on Opening Day Evil force.is something that harms other people, sacrifices other people and invades other people for the sake of its own good and benefit. That’s what m~kcs things evil and in that case anything taking vlace there can be called evil. Fortunately you have your conscience still untouched by the Satanic power, but sometimes your conscience is weaker than others. Your conscience has something to tell you and always warns you against doing evil. The stronger a conscience you have, the more good you are inclined to do. What does your conscience teach you? It teaches you to go ag~inst the evil power - in the reverse way. That means that your conscieoce is teaching you to benefit other pco2le - to add sonething to the people. On the other hand; Satan is not only unwilling to return wnat he has stolen from the .ori<jinal owner, but wants to steal even nore. When God restores people to His sio.e, Satan is trying to steal more people from God’s side. Satan may threaten ·y9u by saing,” If you don’t belong to me· I \;lill kill you and you can never go back to God’s bosom. I will kill you before God can restore you and bring you back to· life.”

You will find many such things being done .in gangsters’ groups. If someone betrays the gangsters, going to the side of good, ti1ey may want to kill him before he runs away. Or if they find someone behind one of their betrayers trying to leacl him to the side of good, · the g.:i.ng will attack that person in order to bring hLi\ to their side - even though they may have to kill him. Whether you want or not, the evil powGr will always aggressively 1nvade you - trying to harm you.

Now, what :is qood? Good is something to stimulate you, e;<:pediting you to do the reverse thing. Whether you want or not·, tl1.e good person is ready to give you sol!\ething - to help and banE:fi t you. People on the ~ide of good ,·:ould want to forgive you even though you are on i:1e evil siuc. So, when you say, when you call someone your good friend, you will find in hir,l a good quality, to be ready to help you and other people and not to harm you o~ other people. When you call someone a good teacher, he is ready to give you ’ good things and ne wants to help· and bring benefit to · you. \’li’len you call your parents good, they are more sacrificial for you than other parents. Isn’t it true? {Yes!) When sooeone’s act causes you·minus, you will call that action.evil. Suppose there is a good couple, well harmonized, loving.each other. Suppose Peter loves his wife dearly a.,a Gertrude . is doing the same, but by any chance Peter would beat Gertr•.ide, she would be’angry and fight back. That’s only too natural for her to do that. If not, we cannot say that there is a conscience. She is only protecting her conscience. So, you are sure your conscience is there! But, if she is loved ‘by her husband and· feels the warmth of love fro1u him, ,she becomes sweeter. In · (Q that ~ase, · she is ready to sacrifice herself for the sake of her husband. She would give her whole being to him. Isn’t that right?

EVerything taking place in the world has a reason and the cause or reason starts in yourself, right in your conscience. On what does everything depend - w ether or not you stucly, \-;hctner you are good or bad student at school? “;-foat will decide? On whom does it depend? It doesn’t depend on the teacher, but it depends on you,· yourself. E.verything depends on you. ffnatever good thing you . are going to be given, if you are not receptive, that has nothing good to do with you. ‘.i.’he same is true with the relationship with you and God. God is ready to give you a very precious thing, but if you are not willing to receive ti1at, you hav·e nothing to ::lo with it - however valuable that may be. But the humc1n con- s cj_ence is willin_g to rec2ive as r.mch goodness as possible. Isn • t that rignt? ~uman con~cie_nce .i s ~ost unwilling to receive evil things. That’s why we can · say that we, human. beings, have more possibility to become good than to become · evil. On that ground, God’s providence of restoration is possible to commence.
