Why its not a waste of time to put God first

Since we're all God, whether or not we put Him first makes no difference.

Even when we put ourselves first, God still is coming first.

That we live in conscious ignorance of this is the root of all suffering.

This is what the Buddhists mean when they say that ignorant craving is the root of this suffering.

Yet the answer is not to eradicate craving or even the very passions which lead to it, since it is unfruitful and fraught with even more suffering.

Aimless action is truly not the answer.

Mindful inaction - wuwei - is best.

In doing so, we cannot help but put God first.

For just as the Lover and His Beloved are one, so too is the Creator and His creation.

Let the wise see the wisdom inherent in this, and the fools, distracted by their ignorant folly.
