God is always with us

We need the help of all things to realize ourselves. It is realistic to feel you need human help, but we need help from every creature and object. We need this microphone to be heard, these walls for shelter, and this chair to sit. In this world, we need everything; never think you need nothing. Even after death, you need help to carry the body. God helps us through everyone and everything. A man walking through a desert faced dangers but reflected that help arrives to overcome hardships. A disciple had a bike accident and was found unconscious because his dog ran home to alert his wife. Help can come from a dog, a bird, or flowers. To think you do not need a human's or a master's help is mistaken.

"Never think that you do not need anything."

"Help can come from a dog, a bird, or flowers."

Yes, it is realistic to feel you need human help to realize yourself. We need the help of humans and the help of other creatures. We need the help of every creature. We need the help of this microphone; without it, you would not hear the lecture. We need the help of these walls; without them, we would be exposed to the elements. We need the help of the chair; without the chair, we would be very tired and unable to sit still. In this world, we need everything. Never think that you do not need anything. Even after death, you will need help, for somebody must help carry your body. So God helps us; God is in everyone, and He is helping. There is a story: A man was walking in a pleasant desert with nice weather. He was confident. Slowly, he encountered dangers and hardships. He reached his destination; he emerged from the jungle that day when he had leisure time. He reflected: when there were tough times in his life—storms, animals, dangers on his path—he saw that if everything is there and He helps us in time, He can help us to overcome. Recently, one of my disciples had a serious bike accident. He was biking with his dog running behind him. He fell, was injured, and became unconscious. About three to four hundred meters away, two minutes later, the dog realized and ran back home. The dog jumped over the fence, went to the door, and barked. The dog ran back, barking and looking ahead as it ran. The man's wife followed the dog and found her husband right there. You see, help can come from a dog, a bird, or flowers. God helps us. To think, "I alone do not need a human's help, I do not need the help of a master," is mistaken. Do you think God asks you to go and forces you?
