Man must be taught not to beg or demand from Higher Forces those things that he can provide for himself with his labor.
Christ tried to shift people’s attention from begging for material objects, telling them “to seek first the kingdom of God, which exists within every man,” and “all that they need they would have.”
Religious leaders, in making people focus their demands to receive, made people forget about the major command of Christ of “seeking the kingdom of heaven first.” This delayed the evolution of humanity for ages, and based all human relationship with Higher Forces on the idea of personal gain.
The true religion is not expectation of paradise or of any kind of reward. The true religion is to make people contact the Treasure found in their own Core and to display that Treasury to help others find their Treasury. In other words, the true religious Teaching is not based on receiving, but on giving.
