729 The Proper Attitude Toward God

I

The only attitude that a created being should have toward the Creator

is one of submission, one of unconditional submission.

Do not seek a basis for all that God does and asks, and do not ask why.

Trying to reason with God has no use.

You just have to recognize that God is the truth

and be capable of absolute submission.

You just have to recognize that God is your Creator and your God.

This is higher than any reasoning, higher than any worldly wisdom,

higher than any human morality,

ethics, knowledge, philosophy, or traditional culture,

and even higher than human feelings,

human righteousness, and so-called human love.

It is higher than everything. It is higher than everything.


II

No matter how long people have believed in God,

no matter how many roads they’ve traveled,

no matter how much work they have done, or how many duties they have done,

everything they have done during this time

has been in preparation for one thing.

They’ve been preparing to ultimately have absolute submission to God,

unconditional submission to God.

Everything that God does is what ought to be done,

for He’s the Creator and you are a created being.

You must have an attitude of submission,

and must not always ask the reason or speak of conditions.

If you constantly examine whether what God does

is in line with your notions and tastes,

or even with what you believe to be the truth,

then you have mistaken your place,

and you are in trouble: You will be likely to offend God’s disposition.
