Introduction
I firmly believe that understanding this point is one that
will change your life. That is it will make it more spiritual because you will
turn to devoting yourself to more spiritual type of endeavours. In short
understanding this point has the power to re-prioritise your life.
Why
The Buddha says many times in the diamond cutter sutra that
the work of awakening contains much more merit than giving immensely great
volumes of treasure away to charitable causes.
So the Buddha says that even say we go right now to Africa
and help the wonderful aid workers sweating, hardly sleeping, living in unsafe
life threatening conditions to help the children who are starving and dying of
disease, even though that will reward you with tremendous merit, being here in
life, eating and sleeping well, but working hard for one’s awakening has much
more merit in it than going to work in Africa helping those malnourished
children.
Unbelievable but it is true. This post tells you why that is.
If you help someone healing them and helping them improve
their health that is wonderful but it will not radically change their
situation. The spiritual work is the one that will radically for the better,
change their destiny by paying their karma and transforming themselves from
within.
You may heal a child and later that child turns into a
mercenary and kills several people for money.
Plus if we work more on ourselves we develop the light within
and we can help anyone in the best possible way, which is with the knowledge
that goes right to the cause of anyone’s misfortune and suffering.
Conclusion
This post is express that we must understand this point that
our spiritual work of dying and awakening holds the most merit of anything that
we could do.
Understanding this changes everything in our life. The more
merit we have, the more awakened we are the more we can help all those that we
love, including humanity.
