Fruit of merit |
Merit from our past lives, whether large or small, will bear fruit in the present life and will express itself in full. If you made 10 units of merit in the past, you will receive all the 10 units in the present. If you made 100 units, you will also receive all of the 100 units. The merit made in this present lifetime will yield results only 10 - 20% now. But it will fully bear fruits in the future.
Our future lifetime will be wonderful with the merit we made in the present.
Thus, we should learn to be content. If we have 100 units of merit, but we use 1,000, we will collapse in due time. On the contrary, if we have 1,000 units of merit, and we use only 100, the merit will bear more fruits sooner.
Once you earn more, keep your heart humble and calm. Don't expect more than what you have earned. |
