I

The attitude people should have toward fate

is to comply with the Creator's arrangements,

actively and strenuously seek the Creator's purpose and meaning

in His arrangement of all these things

and achieve understanding of the truth,

bring into play your greatest functions,

bring into play your greatest functions in this life God has arranged for you,

fulfill your duties, responsibilities, and your obligations,

and make your life more meaningful and more of value,

more meaningful and more of value,

until finally the Creator accepts you and remembers you.

Of course, what would be even better would be to attain salvation

through your seeking and strenuous effort—this would be the best outcome.

With regards to fate,

the most appropriate attitude created mankind should have

is not one of wanton judgment and circumscription,

or using extreme methods to deal with it.

Of course, much less should people try to resist, choose, or change their fate,

but rather they should use their heart to appreciate it,

and seek, explore, comply with it, and then face it positively.

Finally, in the living environment

and on the journey set for you in life by God,

you should seek the way of conduct God teaches you,

seek the path God requires you to take,

and experience the fate God has arranged for you in this way,

and in the end, you will be blessed, in the end, you will be blessed.

III

When you experience the fate the Creator has arranged for you in this way,

what you come to appreciate is not only sorrow,

sadness, tears, pain, frustration, and failure

but, more importantly, you will experience joy, peace, and comfort,

as well as the enlightenment and illumination of the truth

which God bestows on you.

What's more, when you become lost along your path through life,

when you're faced with frustration and failure,

and you have a choice to make,

you'll experience the Creator's guidance,

and in the end you will attain the understanding,

you will attain the understanding,

experience and appreciation of how to live the most meaningful life.

IV

You won't ever become lost in life again,

you won't ever be in a constant state of anxiety again

and, of course, you won't ever again complain about having a bad fate,

much less will you sink into the emotion of depression

because you feel your fate is bad.

If you have this attitude and you use this method

to face the fate the Creator has arranged for you,

then not only will your humanity become more normal,

you'll come to have a normal humanity,

and the thinking, outlooks,

and principles for viewing things of normal humanity,

but you will come to have the views and understanding on the meaning of life

which nonbelievers will never have, which nonbelievers will never have.
