However, being a soul servant-slave is thousands of times more painful than being a physical servant-slave. I warn you strictly, any property, anything you take from your parents, it is all free of charge, but if you take from outside people, you have to pay back. Sometimes people set traps for us, and the price will be very dear. Likewise, in the world of spiritual practice, there’re also many traps. Low-level beings and gods and ghosts all have their conditions. When you ask for their help, sometimes help comes very quickly, but the price is very dear, it’ll be too late to regret afterward. […] They don’t want money! They want your soul, and to keep you for a very long time. I don’t know how long. It depends on how much you owe them, or what you have promised them. Actually, sometimes you don’t have to promise. As long as you accept their favor, naturally you belong to them. In their society of ghosts and gods, it counts like that. Their law is like that. […]
If you, for your wealth, for your silly and impermanent life, go to kowtow to those ghosts and gods, who are of lower levels than you, it’s your own business. I’m warning you: I don’t get involved in that kind of things. If you, in this world, ask for my help when you are in trouble, I can always sacrifice for you. But if you don’t trust me and beg for favor from those low-level beings, that’s your own business. I don’t interfere with your future consequences. Each level, each world, all has its own laws. […]
