in a boat to cross the water and spend the 40 years giving<br />

something to the world? That is the real purpose of life.<br />

However, there must be both the devotion and the service.<br />

We cannot develop one at the expense of the other. We<br />

can’t be truly perfect on the outside unless we are devoted<br />

on the inside, for only then will God’s work shine through<br />

us in a beautiful and perfect way. Similarly, we cannot<br />

say we are truly devoted on the inside unless we are doing<br />

perfect work on the outside.<br />

These pearls I have given you are only a few. However,<br />

like any precious jewels, they are priceless, regardless of<br />

the size. If you follow these and let them purify your life,<br />

they will bring you more prosperity than all the diamonds<br />

in the world.<br />

OVERCOMING FEAR<br />

In one question-answer session, a woman asked me with<br />

tears in her eyes, “How do you overcome fear? I live my life so<br />

afraid all the time. The object of my fear changes as time passes,<br />

but the fear remains.”<br />

In my opinion, this omnipresent fear is the most insidious<br />

obstacle to our peace, happiness and progress in life.<br />

When I say fear, I don’t necessarily mean terror. But, rather<br />

I mean all that makes us anxious, nervous, tense and in<br />

need of controlling our surroundings. The root of fear is<br />

distrust. We have been betrayed, injured and abused. We<br />

decide that the world and those around us cannot be<br />

trusted. In this way, we lose that faith which is so crucial.<br />

What is the answer? The answer to fear is to firmly root<br />

ourselves in God (by whatever name, whatever form you<br />

choose). When we realize that God is always with us, always<br />

for us, we will never be afraid regardless of the<br />

circumstances.<br />

Sure, our family and friends may betray us. They may<br />

injure us. But, if we give ourselves to God, if we make our<br />

relationship with Him our first priority then we will never<br />

be broken inside; we will always be cared for.<br />
