Poverty and Destitution, and God’s Fatigue

In 1994, that is 15 years earlier, I came across a description of a dream that a wealthy American once had. For several years, he had prayed for a personal meeting with God, and God came to him in a dream. Elegantly dressed. He wore an expensive, beautiful coat, a suede hat, and a stylish, fashionable cane. They talked for some time.

I desired to meet God in the same way, and twice a day I invited Him into my life and into my dreams. After 6 years of prayer, we met in my dream. It was the year 2000.

God had the same coat and hat. Only that earlier He had appeared to a rich man, and now to a recently former Tibetan monk—moreover, a Bodhisattva. God wore a light coat, already greyish and wrinkled, as if it had been pulled from a dog’s mouth. In His hands, He held a grey hat, crumpled, resembling the one worn by Lieutenant Columbo.

We spoke for some time. God said, “I am already tired of this.”
For several years, living as befits a Bodhisattva, I thought this referred to my confusion about money and prosperity, about renunciation. After some years, other contexts appeared, though at first they were unclear to me.

Prayer

Open now, O God, my heart.

I have completely forgiven the sadness, fatigue, and trouble that my past vows concerning a life of poverty, destitution, and misery caused to God, to my own Soul, and to myself.

I have completely forgiven the sadness, fatigue, and trouble that my past vows concerning a life of renunciation and personal suffering caused to God, to my own Soul, and to myself.

God of my heart, please now forgive me and my Soul for the fatigue that You experienced when, in a previous incarnation, I followed the path of the Bodhisattva—the path of suffering and renunciation.

Together with my own Soul, I have renounced being a cause of God’s sadness, a cause of His fatigue, and of His divine worries.

I have now understood that following the path of the Bodhisattva—the path of poverty, suffering, and renunciation—is not in accordance with the plan of Almighty God, but was only a fixation of my Soul and its avatar, influenced by other people.

Together with my own Soul, I have renounced following the path of the Bodhisattva—the path of suffering and renunciation.

Together with my own Soul, I have renounced following the path of the Bodhisattva—the path of poverty, misery, and destitution.
