Can blessings really be scored or checked like a bank balance?

Scores and bankbooks are comparisons to make blessings understandable, not a claim that we can check how many points remain. When discussing this idea, I also said the actual amount is very hard to know.

Comparing accumulated good deeds to principal and explaining growth through money generating money reminds us not to assume paying for one ceremony when help is needed replaces daily cultivation. Fifty, seventy, and eighty points illustrate accumulation, not measured scores.

Rather than continually ask for a score, return to what you know most clearly: whether you sincerely do good, hold kind intentions in relationships, or appear sincere while feeling otherwise. Know what you can do, do it earnestly, and hold yourself accountable. That is the comparison's reminder.

I have made a similar point about heavenly beings enjoying blessings: if existing blessings are used without further accumulation, favorable conditions still decline. Comfortable life can also fill with work and entertainment without naturally encouraging practice. This warns against assuming current blessings last forever. It does not calculate how many years remain for each person, nor call a good life wrong.
