Dear friends,
When it comes to fortune-telling, there is a saying: “Bói ra ma, quét nhà ra rác”. This means fortune tellers tend to talk about ghosts; Similarly, when sweeping the house, it’s natural to find rubbish.
It warns against placing blind faith in divination or superstition, and for good reason. While some fortune-tellers possess genuine skill, many others are mere charlatans, using divination to deceive. The array of divination methods is vast, including I Ching, palmistry, face reading, astrology, numerology, geomancy, tarot cards, and more. Each practitioner claims their method to be the most accurate, with tarot card readers vouching for the sanctity of their cards and astrologers insisting on the scientific basis of their calculations.
However, relying solely on books or so-called “scientific” methods for divination is rarely accurate. A true fortune-teller, capable of predicting both near and distant futures, possesses mystical abilities and a connection to the unseen realm. Those destined to encounter such fortune-tellers receive guidance and warnings, avoiding pitfalls. They possess a divine connection that transcends the need for tarot cards or other tools to foresee the future and offer practical advice. Even over the phone, they can accurately discern the caller’s circumstances and state of mind.
Those lacking spiritual belief will never encounter such genuine fortune-tellers, and even those with a bit of knowledge or arrogance seeking to test them may find themselves disappointed. However, humility leads to greater understanding.
When a fortune-teller accurately predicts the near or distant future, it answers the question: Do humans have destiny, and are our lives governed by some law? The answer is that humans do have destiny, with about 70% predetermined, and the remaining 30% influenced by our choices and actions.
Those who study spirituality understand that behind divination lies the guidance of the Divine. The Divine may transmit warnings or advice, even through the mouths of unsuspecting individuals chosen by the Divine, not necessarily fortune-tellers.
Sometimes, the Divine communicates through dreams, which carry significant meaning or recall past lives. After studying spirituality through divination, one no longer needs to spend money on fortune-telling. Having learned the lessons behind divination and established communication with the Divine, there’s no need to seek out fortune-tellers. Those who insist on doing so, regardless of method, often find the results inaccurate. Such fortune-tellers are merely human and not divine. Fortune-tellers must recognize their limitations to avoid arrogance and pride. Those who exploit the power of the Divine for personal gain will ultimately fail, losing their spirituality and blessings.
The duty of a fortune-teller is to provide information, interpret signs, decipher dreams, and resolve dilemmas for seekers. However, meddling in others’ destinies for personal gain leads to misfortune. Taking money without delivering genuine spiritual insight is deceitful, and even genuine spiritual insight can deplete one’s blessings. Exploiting the Divine for personal gain leads to spiritual decline and loss of blessings.
