How can we use reward to create a heavenly society?

 


Tom: How can we use reward to create a heavenly society?

 

Guru: This is a rewarding question.

 

Tom: Then, give me a rewarding answer.

 

Guru: Okay, let’s start by looking at how much a worker is paid.

 

Tom: I am looking.

 

Guru: For a worldly job, how much is the worker paid?

 

Tom: For some jobs, they are paid very well.

 

Guru: How about for a spiritual job, how much is the worker paid?

 

Tom: Generally, they are paid next to nothing.

 

Guru: So the pay of a spiritual worker is lower than that of a worldly worker.

 

Tom: Much lower.

 

Guru: But if society is serious about transforming Earth into heaven, don’t you think the pay of a spiritual worker should be higher?

 

Tom: I was told that whoever does spiritual work, should do it for free.

 

Guru: But there is something wrong with this concept, isn’t there?

 

Tom: There is?

 

Guru: Okay, let me put it this way.

 

Tom: Which way?

 

Guru: You see, are spiritual workers doing good?

 

Tom: Of course they’re doing good.

 

Guru: Are there any other workers doing more good than spiritual workers?

 

Tom: No, spiritual workers work at the soul level. So they’re doing the highest good.

 

Guru: Yet their pay is low.

 

Tom: Could be the lowest.

 

Guru: Are worldly workers doing good or not?

 

Tom: Some are doing good and some are doing bad.

 

Guru: For those who are doing bad, how is their pay?

 

Tom: For some, the pay is high.

 

Guru: How high?

 

Tom: Could be the highest.

 

Guru: So our society gives high pay to those who are doing bad and low pay to those who are doing good.

 

Tom: Yes Guru Harry, it doesn’t look right.

 

Guru: It’s doesn’t sound right.

 

Tom: It’s telling people that it’s “better” to be bad.

 

Guru: It’s telling people that it’s “more rewarding” to be bad.

 

Tom: No wonder there are so many bad people in the world.

 

Guru: The world actually needs more good people, right?

 

Tom: But how can we have more good people?

 

Guru: Pay the spiritual workers higher.

 

Tom: Give them the highest pay.

 

Guru: Because they are doing the highest good.

 

Tom: So that we can have more good people on Earth.
