(A) Xian Sheng can tell the future.
- Xian Sheng had informed numerous followers of forthcoming events as a precautionary measure. He then asked the followers to confirm if this was the case, and they responded affirmatively.
- Xian Sheng shared that the two recent events had happened to him. One occurred just yesterday. Xian Sheng then digressed to provide some background information on how the event unfolded.
- Yesterday, the motorcycle club organised two motorcycle convoys: one headed to Johor Bahru for a meeting, while the other went to Malacca. Xian Sheng advised the motorcyclists in the Malacca convoy to make a brief stop in Malacca to register themselves, then proceed to Johor Bahru, if possible, to attend the meeting. They could then ride back to Malacca after the meeting. Many informed him they were no longer committee members, while others stated they could not attend the meeting.
- Xian Sheng commented that people are problematic as they like to form groups or factions, which divide people in whatever they do. They tend to create division among people.
- He gave the example of his heavy motorcycle club, comprising individuals who are generally wealthy, owners of large businesses, or high-ranking officials from the government. They banded together because they enjoyed riding their heavy motorcycles. Nonetheless, they still divide themselves into two groups, each with a different destination.
- Xian Sheng intended to participate in the meeting and obtain the latest reports. Hence, he encouraged the Malacca convoy to participate in the meeting with him at Johor Bahru. The club in Johor Bahru is a registered association.
- Xian Sheng suggested to them that if they disliked the incumbent Chairman in the Johor Bahru club, all of them should attend the meeting and unanimously vote to replace him with a new candidate.
- The reality is that all along, they tried to persuade Xian Sheng to take over as the Chairman. However, he rejected their offers because he had no free time.
- Xian Sheng mentioned very frankly that he wanted to relinquish his post as the Chairman of the Malaysia Heavy Construction Equipment Owners’ Association if someone were to step forward.
- He commented that he had just returned from his Sydney, Australia trip and had hardly settled down in his Baixian office when the Chairman of Venice Hill Condominium and Golf Resort phoned him. He pleaded with Xian Sheng to resume his old post as the Chairman, as he felt unqualified and had made erroneous statements. Xian Sheng told him that he gave up the Chairman post because he did not want it anymore.
- The housing project needed to be revived. The Developer was fined RM428,000 for non-compliance with building regulations. Additionally, the Developer was summoned to court and would be slapped with additional fines. (The final figure published in 2001 was RM465,877.60.)
- Xian Sheng organised an open house during the recent Chinese New Year at his home in Taman Melawati. Coincidentally, both the Developer, Venice Hill Resort Living Sdn Bhd, represented by Ms Catherine Yong and RHB Bank’s Chairman were present and arrived at the same time.
- The Developer does not have a Housing Development License or the required Building Plan approval. Still, they have completed the construction of the condominium units. They did not obtain an advertising permit but have advertised in the newspapers and sold some units. Xian Sheng acted as the Chairman because he wanted to help the owners secure the approval of the Building Plan so that they could occupy their units. Once the building plans were approved, Xian Sheng relinquished his responsibilities. However, the owners kept pestering him to continue solving the multitude of problems plaguing the project.
- Xian Sheng said that he could not handle so much work. Nevertheless, these are not really important issues to him.
(B) We can receive the consciousness of foreboding.
- Xian Sheng recounted what happened to him yesterday while he was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He was accompanied by Bro Chong Hoi Peng on another motorcycle.
- Before commencing the journey, Xian Sheng had decided to travel as far as Seremban’s toll and then make a U-turn to return to Kuala Lumpur.
- Xian Sheng raced at speeds of 160 km/h, overtaking all other vehicles before slowing down as he approached Seremban’s toll booth. As he approached the toll booth, he sensed something was amiss with his motorcycle and slowed to a halt by the roadside. When he attempted to move again, he encountered resistance, and upon looking back, he realised that the rear tyre was punctured, as it was flat.
- Xian Sheng asked the followers whether it was a stroke of good luck that he stopped at Seremban’s toll as planned. He had also instructed Bro Chong Hoi Peng to make a U-turn at Seremban’s toll.
- He explained that one problem a motorcyclist would face if their back tyre encounters a puncture while travelling at 160 km/h would be a sudden loss of control, as the back portion would become highly unstable due to the wobbling and shaking. It would be extremely difficult to control the motorcycle because of the wobbling.
- He reiterated that the incident happened yesterday. Xian Sheng asked whether the followers thought he had anticipated it happening and decided to travel only up to Seremban’s toll.
- He concluded the account by mentioning that he called Bro Wong Kow Poh to pick up his motorcycle and return it to Kuala Lumpur in his one-ton lorry.
- Xian Sheng recounted another incident that happened to him while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh. This incident bears remarkable similarities to the Seremban incident. However, the events surrounding it were partly due to the incompetence of his companions.
- He explained that it started with the long queue of vehicles at the Sungai Buloh toll booth leading to the North-South Expressway (NSE), prompting Xian Sheng, accompanied by Bro Chong Hoi Peng and Bro Wong Kow Poh on motorcycles, to drive ahead to the Rawang R&R to wait for them.1 After waiting for some time, Xian Sheng instructed Bro Chong and Bro Wong to keep a lookout for the Fiat while he went to the restroom. Xian Sheng rode his Harley to the restroom area with his son, Bro Chew Pit Tian, on the pillion seat.
- Returning to Bro Chong and Bro Wong, Xian Sheng asked them if the Fiat had passed them. They replied that it had not. Xian Sheng wondered why it took them so long but decided to wait a little longer. (The distance from the Sungai Buloh toll to the Rawang R&R is approximately 24 kilometres.)
- Xian Sheng grew impatient and asked them why they had not used their mobile phones to call those inside the Fiat and ask where they were. It turned out that those in the Fiat had passed them and almost reached the Tanjung Malim R&R some 60 kilometres ahead.
- Though Xian Sheng was clearly frustrated, he had no option but to chase after them, driving at 160 km/h. When he was near the Tapah R&R, he wondered why he hadn’t caught up to them or overtaken them yet; they must have stopped somewhere. Xian Sheng decided to stop next to the highway after passing the Tapah R&R. As he slowed down, he felt something was wrong with the steering. He asked Bro Chong to check it out, but Bro Chong reported that nothing was wrong with it.
- As there seemed to be nothing wrong with the steering, and the Fiat had finally caught up from behind, Xian Sheng proceeded to drive his motorcycle back onto the highway but realised that he had a puncture. Xian Sheng recounted that he was carrying his son, Bro Chew Pit Tian, and driving at 160 km/h, trying to chase up to the Fiat before he stopped and discovered the punctured tyre.
- In response to Xian Sheng sharing how he had averted two potentially fatal incidents that befell him, someone commented that it wasn’t Xian Sheng’s time to go. Xian Sheng asked whether that was the case here.
- Some followers asked why Xian Sheng would receive special consciousness to warn him that he would have a puncture, which compelled him to stop after the Tapah R&R. Under normal circumstances, Xian Sheng should be stopping at the Tapah R&R and not along the highway. The consciousness prompted Xian Sheng to think that the Fiat should be behind him, as he was driving at speeds of 160 km/h and practically overtaking every vehicle on the highway. Therefore, it was not possible that he had not caught up with the Fiat.
- It turned out that the Fiat was actually behind him. They had apparently stopped at the Tanjung Malim R&R.
- Xian Sheng criticised Bro Chong and Bro Wong for failing to keep a lookout for the Fiat vigilantly. He said they were not serious in carrying out their roles. Such a lack of seriousness could result in the loss of a person’s life.
- Xian Sheng referred to the incident that took a life due to Bro Ah Kian’s lack of seriousness in carrying out his responsibilities. Sis Lee Lee would not have died if he had taken his responsibility seriously.
- Xian Sheng posed a question to the followers in response to the comment that it was not Xian Sheng’s time to go. He laughed as he asked whether it was possible that Sis Lee Lee’s time was up while his own time was not yet up.
- In some cases, Xian Sheng would know about certain forebodings as a consciousness would inform him. He posed the question of whether we would also receive similar consciousness to warn us of forebodings. He answered that we do.
- We would sometimes receive a consciousness that tells us we must perform a specific task first, or else we would not be able to complete another task. We need to be wary that we may get such consciousness to warn us so we can avert an impending doom.
(C) Does GOD love those who die young?
- Xian Sheng sighed as he said that certain issues give rise to thoughts we do not know how to process. He mentioned that, personally, certain issues have caused him to be unhappy, too.
- He mentioned the issue where he told Baixian’s staff and Sis Lee Lee that she had failed on multiple occasions to deliver the results Xian Sheng expected, which caused him great stress, leading to severe headaches. Then he added that if Sis Lee Lee didn’t die, he would die instead.
- His headaches were so severe that he could barely bear it anymore. He recalled asking Sis Lee Lee to search for something, but she failed to find it.
- There was once when his headaches were so severe that he had to ask his staff to massage his head for him. He cited the reason that Sis Lee Lee had once again failed to do his bidding. That was why Xian Sheng said that if Sis Lee Lee did not die, he would die instead.
- Sis Lee Lee did indeed pass away. Nevertheless, Xian Sheng said that she was lucky to pass away young. She escaped from having to live life as a human. He stopped short of stating that life on Earth as a human is hard as we have to face all sorts of difficulties.
- He gave a profound sigh, voicing the paradox that some people would criticise you even though you have done good; yet, if you follow them to do something bad, some will praise you as good. People have opinions on everything, whether it’s good or bad. It is not easy to make a living.
- Xian Sheng recalled that when a person dies young on Earth, Islam would say that GOD loves them and not the rest, and therefore takes them away while the rest would have to remain and face a difficult life on Earth.
- Xian Sheng posed a question: does GOD love those who die young? Xian Sheng answered that when it comes to the CREATOR, he does not dare to answer yes or no to his own question.
(D) If the CREATOR likes everyone, why does Hell exist?
- In the interest of abolishing superstition in Baitiangong, Xian Sheng emphasised that he needed to inform the followers not to treat the special consciousness, which is crucial for us to avoid an impending disaster, as a superstition. If the special consciousness appears to us, we should simply accept it.
- Xian Sheng is not in a position to state that the CREATOR likes one individual and dislikes another. However, he announced that the CREATOR likes everyone, and there isn’t a single individual that HE dislikes. The reason is that the CREATOR created all human beings.
- Xian Sheng raised the question, “If the CREATOR likes everyone, then why does Hell exist?” He reiterated that Heaven is infinite, without top or bottom. The question then is why the CREATOR does not allow everyone who has passed away to go to Heaven.
- Xian Sheng revisited a question he had posed previously: “Why does the CREATOR not want everyone to be in Heaven? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone did not need to live life as humans on Earth?” This is based on Xian Sheng’s assertion that the CREATOR likes everyone.
- Xian Sheng reaffirmed that the CREATOR likes everyone. Nevertheless, it is the CREATOR’s prerogative how humans are created. Xian Sheng said, “We live at the pleasure of GOD.”
- The CREATOR created humans and bestowed upon them freedom. Our freedom is unparalleled. With this freedom, humans can choose to be serious or not serious in whatever they do.
- If an individual abuses their freedom of consciousness and choice by not taking matters seriously, it could result in the loss of another person’s life. Xian Sheng reiterated that others could lose their lives if we were not serious about our responsibilities.
- Xian Sheng provided a scenario involving heavy construction equipment operators such as excavators and cranes. If they are not serious about their work and fail to comply with safety protocols due to arguments with their wives or gambling late into the night, they could cause the load to descend uncontrollably, crashing into a house. This could result in the collapse of the house and cause the occupants to be crushed to death. This is an example of individuals with freedom of consciousness and free will who are not serious about their work.
- Where lies the extent of our freedom? We need to take our freedom seriously in whatever we do. Once again, Xian Sheng reiterates that humans have freedom of choice, but if they do not take their responsibility seriously, (there are consequences.)
- Referring back to Bro Wong and Bro Chong, tasked with keeping a lookout for the Fiat while Xian Sheng took a toilet break, their combined six pairs of eyes (Bro Chong wears spectacles, which count as four eyes) failed to notice the Fiat passing them and already approaching Tanjung Malim R&R. As a consequence, Xian Sheng had to race at a speed of 160km/h to catch up to them.
- Xian Sheng commented that he was fortunate to receive a special consciousness to stop by the roadside. If he had not received the special consciousness, the bursting of the back tyre while driving at 160km/h would have flung him and his son off to God-knows-where.
- Therefore, Xian Sheng reminded the followers, “You must be serious in whatever you are doing.” He added that we must not trivialise the seriousness of any work.
- When dealing with electricity, it’s crucial not to remove our shoes. In fact, it’s preferable to wear shoes with rubber soles when working with electricity. In the event that we accidentally touch live electrical wires, we may experience a severe shock, but the electrical current would not pass through our body to the ground if we were wearing insulated shoes. We would be able to release the live wires without harm. However, without insulation from rubber soles, the electrical current would flow through our body to the ground, resulting in electrocution. In cases of high current (over 1000 volts and 50mA), the body would suffer severe electrical burns.
- Ideally, one must take working with electricity seriously by wearing rubber shoes. A person is serious if they prioritise safety in their work. Xian Sheng concluded by stating that we must prioritise safety in whatever we do.
(E) Master or slave to money?
- Xian Sheng has mentioned many times that we must be the masters of money and not slaves to money.
- He asked, “When are we slaves to money, and when are we the master of money?”
- We would be masters of money if we fulfilled these conditions:
- If we are poor, how do we use good and proper ways to earn money?
- If we are rich, how can we spend our money wisely and properly?
- If we can fulfil these conditions, we are masters of money and not slaves to it.
- Xian Sheng explained that those who are slaves to money would bluff, cheat, and employ illegal ways to make money. These people are not masters of money.
(F) Conman pretended to be a follower to deceive naive and gullible followers.
- Xian Sheng mentioned that he was informed about a brothel disguised as a karaoke lounge being raided and shut down by the authorities. This brothel was located behind Gaia Restaurant in Alam Jaya.
- He stated that he was unsure whether the rumour was true or false. Nevertheless, many people claimed that about twenty prostitutes were earning a living in that establishment.
- Clients were charged RM50 for the prostitute’s service, yet the prostitute’s share was only RM3. This indicated that the pimp took a significant cut of RM47. Consequently, the pimp hired numerous prostitutes as he stood to profit greatly from them.
- Xian Sheng additionally heard that the pimp collaborated with the authorities by bribing them to raid the brothel, apprehend the prostitutes, and deport them to their respective states. The pimp retained all the money owed to the prostitutes.
- Xian Sheng explained that the pimp is truly a slave to money. He is also complicit in luring women into prostitution, which is inherently another reprehensible act in itself.
- If the premises owner knowingly rented it for use as a brothel for prostitution, then the owner is also a slave to money.
- On another topic, Xian Sheng explained that another premises owner is a conman who pretended to join the spiritual movement as a follower but with the real intention of absconding with the money that foolish followers believed was a joint investment into a business venture. Xian Sheng warned these gullible followers not to fall for it but to no avail. Xian Sheng became aware of the conman’s intention when he visited Xian Sheng and gifted him with a carton of apples and a carton of oranges.
- Xian Sheng warned any followers who wanted to join venture with the conman, but they refused to heed his advice. Ultimately, the conman absconded with all the money the followers invested.
- Xian Sheng said that some individuals would join an organisation, such as the Spiritual Movement, pretending to be followers solely to exploit the funds of stupid followers. The conman deceived many stupid followers and took their money. Xian Sheng warned them against joining ventures with the conman, but they proceeded anyway. Xian Sheng asked, “Whose fault was it then?” He concluded that the fault lay with the followers.
- He recounted the story of one victim, a follower from Singapore, to illustrate the contradiction involved. Xian Sheng had asked the follower to stay in Kuala Lumpur and assist at Baixian Restaurant, offering compensation of RM10 per day. However, the follower declined Xian Sheng’s offer, citing being too busy in Singapore as the excuse.
- However, the follower was not too busy and instead spent every day in Kuala Lumpur conducting their own business. Xian Sheng asked if they could see the contradiction here. The contradiction lies in the fact that the follower who claimed to be too busy in Singapore to help Xian Sheng with Baixian Restaurant were actually quite free to come to Kuala Lumpur when personal business interests were involved.
- The follower invested a significant sum of money to join ventures with the conman and ended up losing all their savings. The premises owner, Mr Koh deceived many followers, as none of them received back their investments.
(G) Be serious but avoid being overly clever.
- Due to freedom of choice, those followers chose to ignore Xian Sheng’s advice and fell into the trap of the conman. Xian Sheng foresaw the con and provided tips to those followers, but they went unheeded and thus were wasted on them.
- Xian Sheng advised the followers to be serious in everything they do and not to underestimate the situation.
- However, some people take things so seriously that they act overly clever than usual.
- In the example involving Bro Ah Kian, Xian Sheng asked him over the phone to drive Bro Ah Poh’s 1-ton lorry to pick up his motorcycle by the roadside due to a punctured tyre. However, Bro Ah Kian kept arguing that the height of the lorry’s cargo bed was higher than that of other lorries and therefore unsuitable for the task.
- Yesterday, Bro Ah Poh measured the height of the cargo bed of the 1-ton lorry hired to transport Xian Sheng’s motorcycle. They also measured the height of Bro Ah Poh’s 1-ton lorry’s cargo bed and found out that Bro Ah Poh’s lorry was actually lower than the hired lorry. Xian Sheng emphasised that the hired lorry was higher than our own lorry.
- Xian Sheng informed Bro Ah Kian of their findings because he wanted him to realise that he failed to listen to Xian Sheng’s instructions but instead chose to argue that Bro Ah Poh’s lorry was higher than other lorries.
- Xian Sheng did not specifically request Bro Ah Poh to measure the height of the hired lorry against his own lorry. Bro Ah Poh took his own initiative to do so, and that was how Xian Sheng knew about it.
- Bro Ah Kian persisted in arguing with Xian Sheng about the height of the lorry, which ultimately led to them hiring another lorry to transport the motorcycle. As a result, Bro Chong and Bro Ah Poh had to wait from 1:00 pm until after 7:00 pm for the hired lorry to reach them.
- Bro Ah Kian inconvenienced everyone because he did not listen to Xian Sheng and tried to act clever. If Bro Ah Kian had listened and followed Xian Sheng’s instructions, he would have promptly driven their lorry over, picked up the motorcycle, and taken it to a workshop in Tapah to fix the puncture. Instead, the hired lorry had to spend a night in Ipoh.
- Xian Sheng explained that the puncture could have been caused by the longer Michelin valve. The original valve from Dunlop USA was shorter but was replaced by Michelin from France. The longer stem of the Michelin valve knocked against the brake cap, causing damage to the rubber around the valve, and air leaked out as a result of the damaged rubber.
- Although we must be serious in whatever we do, we must also avoid being overly clever. An overly clever person could undermine the seriousness by making a wrong move.
- Xian Sheng reiterated that they had measured the height of Bro Ah Poh’s 1-ton lorry against Planet Cycle Sdn Bhd’s 1-ton lorry and told Bro Ah Kian that their lorry’s cargo bed was lower. Xian Sheng has informed Bro Ah Kian that both lorries should have the same height, as he had seen Planet Cycle’s lorry, and they are both 1-ton lorries. He is unsure why Planet Cycle’s lorry would be higher than Bro Ah Poh’s.
- Nevertheless, the cargo bed’s height should be similar with minor differences. Xian Sheng proposed that the suspension could be lower as Bro Ah Poh’s leaf spring may have sagged due to heavy use, carrying all sorts of heavy cargo compared to Planet Cycle, which only carries motorcycles. Bro Ah Poh’s lorry is a multipurpose vehicle used to transport furniture, sand, and stones. He would load the lorry to its full capacity, which could cause the leaf spring to sag under the weight.
- Returning to the issue of being serious, one should not become overly clever to the extent that they resort to arguing and opposing, as they take things too seriously. Taking things too seriously can lead to delays in tasks that could have been promptly completed but are delayed due to arguments.
- Besides being serious in our tasks, we also need to be accurate and fast. In our current economy, if we are too slow in completing any jobs, we will not be able to compete and sustain our business for a living.
- When making a decision, we need to think quickly and not procrastinate in our thinking. If we procrastinate, by the time we come to a decision, we will have lost the job to our competitor.
- When we receive a contract document, we should immediately calculate all the costs involved, check whether the conditions are acceptable, ensure the profits are reasonable, and sign the contract with the stated price. If the owners agree, they will award the job to us, and we will conclude the deal promptly.
- We need to make a prompt decision whether to accept the contract or not. We cannot be indecisive and keep flip-flopping in our decisions. Xian Sheng describes such people as lacking in principles.
(H) A person who is not serious in life is not trustworthy.
- Sis Chan Yen Peng asked Xian Sheng if a female follower could stay at Gaia’s living quarters and work in Gaia Retaurant. Xian Sheng agreed to her request.
- Xian Sheng said that he could not understand the female follower. She chose when to work and when not to based on her whims. Subsequently, she had a heated argument with her adopted mother and moved out of Gaia, leaving after staying only a few days. The Baixian staff who had helped her move in earlier also helped her to move out.
- Xian Sheng concluded that such a person is not serious in life and is not trustworthy.
- Xian Sheng specifically informed Sis Wong Chew Peng that if the female follower, Sis San San, requests to join Baixian again, she should not entertain her request. He turned to Sis Yum Shirley and Sis Chan Yen Peng, whom he designated to administer the Baixian office, to reject Sis San San’s request to rejoin Baixian.
- Baixian cannot accept a person who is so indecisive as an employee. Using the Malay words “mau” meaning want and “tak mau” meaning don’t want, Xian Sheng joked that she sounded like a cat, “mau, tak mau, mau, tak mau”, to express how indecisive Sis San San is. As humans, we must be serious and decisive in our work.
- Xian Sheng said she exhibits a personality trait that is like a sickness that would spread to others if she were allowed to work in Baixian.
- On the subject of taking leave from work, if an employee applies for leave, it would prompt another employee to apply for leave as well.
- They failed to realise that the application for leave is subject to company policies, and companies reserve the right to reject their leave application. Although employees are allocated annual leave days, there are certain dates that companies assign as blackout periods where employees do not have the right to apply for leave, unless they have sufficiently good reasons.
- Xian Sheng asked Bro Phoon for confirmation of what he had said. Xian Sheng is familiar with the labour laws (as stipulated in the Employment Act 1955.)
- Xian Sheng stated that the application for leave is our privilege but not our right, as the company ultimately reserves the right not to approve our leave unless it falls within the dates they have approved for leave applications.
(I) Xian Sheng: If I do not know, who would know?
- Xian Sheng mentioned that certain events would naturally coincide so perfectly, such as the time when he took a flight to and from Australia. Coincidences do happen.
- However, we must not succumb to superstitious thinking regarding both incidents, when Xian Sheng appeared to foresee that something was amiss and halted his motorcycle by the roadside, coinciding perfectly with his tyre suddenly becoming flat. Nevertheless, coincidences do happen.
- Xian Sheng specifically elaborates on both of these incidents because he does not want the followers to adopt superstitious thinking when viewing them.
- However, if anyone were to ask Xian Sheng how he knew in advance what would happen, he would question the person back, “If I do not know, who would know?”
- Xian Sheng repeated the statement, “If I do not know, who would know?” followed by the statement that it was he who asked us to pray to the CREATOR. (The implication is that Xian Sheng is not an ordinary human but a Disciple of GOD who is able to foresee and foretell the future if he chooses to do so.)
(J) What is so special about miracles?
- Xian Sheng inquired if the followers remembered the incident involving Bro Chew Kwai Fong. His son rode on his motorcycle to meet with Xian Sheng to request that he prolong the life of his father, who was suffering in the hospital.
- Exactly a year ago, his father was in a comatose state in the hospital, and the son desperately sought Xian Sheng’s help to wake his father. He had phoned Xian Sheng throughout the whole night until early morning, pestering him to go to the hospital. Xian Sheng could not sleep properly, and eventually, he got up early in the morning to go to the hospital. Xian Sheng admitted that he went out of anger and not for other reasons.
- At the hospital, Xian Sheng called out, “Chew Kwai Fong, can you hear me?” Before calling out his name, Xian Sheng talked to his stomach and asked it to excrete the contaminants by passing motion. Xian Sheng made the sound “blarg” to describe that he wanted to vomit at the pungent smell of the faeces.
- Although it was disgusting, Xian Sheng said he had to do it. He asked the followers to consider the scope of his job (the job of a Disciple of GOD is not all glamour and glitter).) He asked if they thought it’d be pleasant to smell that crap.
- Xian Sheng had to massage his stomach and tell it to excrete the contaminants. He literally talked to Bro Chew Kwai Fong’s stomach. He then turned to Bro Chew and told him to wake up from his coma. He asked him to move his fingers if he could hear him. His fingers began to slowly move. Xian Sheng knew that Bro Chew Kwai Fong would recover and told Bro Xiao Ti that he had to leave as he was already late for work.
- Despite witnessing the miracle of how Xian Sheng had saved his father’s life, Bro Xiao Ti never shows up for morning meditations or participates in spiritual discussions on Fridays. This prompted Xian Sheng to ask, “What is so special about miracles?”
- The three brothers were never serious about praying to the CREATOR, even until the present day, as they hardly ever show up for meditations throughout the years.
- They would come once in a blue moon to participate in evening meditation, and that is also after Xian Sheng personally phoned to invite them.
- But when it came to his father, he did not invite but practically pestered Xian Sheng throughout the night with telephone calls. Xian Sheng could not get a good night’s sleep, but he still had to work the following day. Nevertheless, Xian Sheng had to drive to the General Hospital to wake his father out of a coma. He posed the question: what is gained from his father waking up from the coma?
- One year later, the son once again drove his motorcycle to plead with Xian Sheng to help his comatose father. He asked Bro Xiao Ti whether he remembered that he had given his father one year of life and asked him to count the number of days lapsed since he made the statement. Somehow, Xian Sheng could recall the date he prolonged his father’s life and asked Bro Xiao Ti to tell him the date to confirm that exactly one year had passed.
- Bro Xiao Ti confirmed that it was exactly one year. Xian Sheng told him to go back to the hospital, kneel down, and pray for the CREATOR to allow his father’s soul to promptly depart. Bro Xiao Ti did exactly what Xian Sheng instructed when he reached KPJ Sentosa Specialist Hospital. When he rushed upstairs to the ward, he found that his father had passed away. He was overjoyed. Xian Sheng posed a question: are there children who would be happy at their father’s passing? He answered yes.
- Bro Xiao Ti drove his motorcycle back to Taman Maluri where Xian Sheng was conducting a spiritual discussion to inform Xian Sheng that he is incredible. When asked why, he said Xian Sheng is incredible because he followed his instructions and his father promptly passed away.
- Xian Sheng laughed as he said allowing a person to pass away is not that incredible.
(K) Miracles do not necessarily convert people to pray to the CREATOR.
- Xian Sheng chuckled as he mentioned that there are more incredible things that we do not know, but we will become aware of them after our passing. He inquired whether we have ever seen Heaven and Hell, as those are truly incredible sights.
- Xian Sheng remarked that although Heaven and Hell are incredible to those who have seen them, he questioned their significance for those individuals as it made no difference in their lives. He highlighted that some followers who have experienced Hell have even departed from Baitiangong. Moreover, those who were healed during our spiritual meditations are not currently praying to the CREATOR.
- Xian Sheng is aware of the private affairs of many followers because they keep making requests from him.
- He gave the example of Bro Ah Siong. Bro Ah Siong requested that Xian Sheng extend his life so that he could see his son grow taller than him. Xian Sheng extended his life for a few years.
- However, his kidney problem resurfaced once again, and he informed Xian Sheng that something was very wrong with his kidney. Xian Sheng asked him whether he remembered what he had requested years ago: to see his son taller than him.
- Xian Sheng called out to Danny, Bro Siong’s son, and told him to stand next to his father. He then asked Bro Siong to look at his son. Bro Siong had to tilt his head upwards to look at his son because his son was already taller than him.
- Xian Sheng then reminded Bro Siong of his request and pointed out that his son was both taller and bigger in size than him. Xian Sheng told him to accept his impending death.
- He sought confirmation from the followers that he had told many people to accept their impending deaths.
- Xian Sheng told Bro Siong to gracefully accept his death, as his life had been extended for many years so that he could watch his son grow from a child to be taller and bigger than him. Xian Sheng asked why Bro Siong wanted to “eat to live” for so long. Xian Sheng reassured him that he should leave, despite his protests, to hang on to life. Bro Siong passed away less than a week later.
- If someone were to ask Xian Sheng how he knew that Bro Siong was going to pass away or why Xian Sheng extended his life, (no answer)
- Xian Sheng countered the question with a more relevant question, “What difference does it make?”
- Xian Sheng stated that the Baixian office should investigate to find out whether Bro Siong’s family – his son Danny, daughter, and wife – sincerely pray to the CREATOR. Xian Sheng said that Baixian should monitor their Baitiangong activities and keep notes. If it were him, Xian Sheng said he would document such miracles and their outcomes.
- If miracles appeared to followers, but they still did not take Baitiangong seriously after witnessing them firsthand, then how could Xian Sheng talk about miracles to others?
- If Xian Sheng were to submit a report to the CREATOR about the effectiveness of miracles in converting people to become Baitiangong followers, he would be speechless before the CREATOR, as he has nothing positive to report.
- However, Xian Sheng warned that they would know the seriousness of praying to the CREATOR after they pass away, as they have witnessed such miracles, yet do nothing about it.
(L) Would Sis Elaine Hue and Baixian be happy to see Xian Sheng dead?
- The CREATOR created humans and granted them complete freedom. Xian Sheng added that the CREATOR wants to see how far humans will push the boundaries of the freedom granted to them.
- There are certain situations in which we should rejoice. For example, when Xian Sheng was driving at 160 km/h and his tyre encountered a puncture, the followers should rejoice that Xian Sheng was spared from a terrible accident that could have taken his life.
- Instead, certain people are naturally unhappy, probably because they are required to pick up his motorcycle for repair. Xian Sheng laughed as he mentioned that instead of rejoicing that he did not die and that they would be happy to pick up his motorcycle, they grumbled as it had inconvenienced them.
- He recalled that Sister Elaine Hue called him after his tyre was punctured near the Seremban tollbooth and asked where he was. After he replied, she rudely asked what he was doing there, and Xian Sheng replied, “Nothing in particular.” Upon reaching home from his ordeal, Sister Elaine complained that Xian Sheng had shouted at her over the phone earlier. Xian Sheng replied that he did not shout at her, but he was fuming over the tyre incident at that time and probably sounded angry.
