0918 Knowledge alone not enough.... fulfilment of the commandments necessary....

May 16, 1939: Book 18

Without his help the human being cannot fulfil his task on earth. Knowledge alone is not enough, it is only of value if all willpower is also used at the same time to make use of his life on earth in accordance with the knowledge. Life must be in harmony with what divine wisdom gave people to know in the form of commandments, and thus these commandments must be completely complied with, i.e. divine will must be respected and can never be eliminated. Now the human being uses all the strength he is entitled to for the solution of the earthly task for other purposes and thinks too little of the actual purpose, and he now exposes himself to the danger of walking through earthly life completely inactive, for he resists the right realization and lives in direct material experience.... he only knows the world, desires it and is the representative of the most blatant error as soon as any spiritual questions are judged. For this is not possible otherwise, since he himself makes all arrangements to look at the world from the standpoint of the enjoyer. And this should be a warning to you, for you will lose yourselves if a loving being does not show you the right path.... for the human being must be constantly active and only ever think of his soul....

Amen
