Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai,
International 4-Day Retreat
Bangkok, Thailand
October 22, 1997 (Originally In Chinese)

A person went to Africa and was captured by the native tribesmen. The savages encircled him, threw him on the ground, and yelled loudly. Frightened to death, he prayed to God, "Oh, God! What shall I do now? Good grief, perhaps my time has come. Please save me quickly!"

God replied, "No, your time has not come yet."

The poor fellow asked, "What shall I do then?"

God told him, "It's all right, just listen to me. Stand up bravely, snatch the knife from the chief's hand, and strike right at his heart."

The man acted accordingly; he seized the chief's knife, thrust it through the chief's heart, and killed him. Then the poor man asked again, "God, I have thrust the knife through his heart, so what now?"

God answered him: "Now your time has come!" (Laughter and applause) His time had not yet come before he did that. (Master laughs)

Therefore, taking the initiation doesn't mean that your time has come; if you go home and indulge in pleasures or commit crimes, then your time will come!

Your Time Has Come! What Is God's Religion?
God Too Has No Solution We Are Not Peace Loving
