If You Help Me God Will Help You

Summary

This article describes the case of a man who is trying to live all the eight qualities of the Eight-Fold Path of the world-famous way of life, Buddhism. All these qualities corresponded to the eight qualities desired of a wise man, of an enlightened soul. His disposition was the story of a Buddha in the making, of the pains of a human trying to awaken his self, trying to live the wisdom in its entirety and true sense. To heal his pains, those he suffered as he is confronted with the showing-off of the so-called spirituality and holiness of others who are only ritualistic, his soul was clearly asking for the ‘Tree of illumination’ to help him climb up the ladder towards God without pain.
