Wealth and poverty in the hereafter....

Only that which bears the mark of love is imperishable. For only that which is born of love will outlast time and eternity. And it is therefore useless to want to build something which does not correspond to the commandment of love, for this will inevitably come to an end, and the strength which God imparts to every human being will be misused if it is only utilised for actions which are devoid of all love. Whatever earthly success arises from it has no lasting value, it goes the way of all earthly things, it passes away.... And only the work created with love is indestructible, for even if the outward appearance of such an activity is seemingly transient, everything done with love has eternal value.... It is the good deeds which follow you into eternity, which alone are only valued when everything earthly has fallen away from the human being. And only then can the soul speak of wealth or poverty, for love and light are one, and anyone who has worked with love on earth is surrounded by a radiant light; he recognises, he has knowledge. He suddenly realises the great significance of earthly life and the consequences of a loving or loveless way of life, and he realises that only love is the only redeeming thing in earthly existence. What man creates for himself in earthly wealth is an increase of that which is to be overcome on earth. Before his stage as a human being, he has already overcome all matter, that is, liberated himself from every form, albeit in a state of compulsion.... And on earth he should do the same in a free state. However, the inclination towards earthly things is the desire for what he has already overcome and is therefore a step backwards. Desire for possessions is at the same time a lack of love, for a loving person wants to give to the one he loves. But that person only loves his ego and what benefits his ego. So it is a wrong love that never has a redeeming effect, that binds the human being to matter as if with chains. And so, all care is only for his body but not for his soul, and earthly wealth, for which all love on earth was intended, must turn into utmost poverty in the beyond. On the other hand, however, earthly wealth need not be an obstacle to be lovingly active as long as it is willingly given in order to banish the hardship and worries of fellow human beings.... if the heart does not cling to it longingly but turns what God has given towards its fellow human being with love. All actions and thoughts must be born of love, then they will result in richest blessings on earth, and a life of light and bliss in the beyond....

Amen

BOGATSTVO I SIROMAŠTVO U ONOSTRANOM...

Samo ono je nepropadljivo, što nosi pečat Ljubavi. Jer, samo što je rođeno u Ljubavi nadživjet će vrijeme i vječnost. I stoga je beskorisno željeti izgraditi nešto što nije u skladu sa zapovijedi Ljubavi, budući će to neizbježno naći svoj kraj, i snaga koju Bog prenosi svakom čovjeku, bit će zloupotrijebljena, ako je ona korištena samo za postupke koji su lišeni svake Ljubavi. Što god izraste iz zemaljskog uspjeha, nema nikakvu trajnu vrijednost, ide putem svega zemaljskog, prolazi... A samo je djelo stvoreno u Ljubavi neuništivo, jer čak i ako je pojavnost jednog takvog rada naizgled prolazna, sve učinjeno u Ljubavi ima vječnu vrijednost... Dobra djela, koja vas slijede u vječnost, ona su koja će jedina biti vrjednovana, kada sve zemaljsko otpadne s čovjeka. A jedino onda duša može govoriti o bogatstvu i siromaštvu, budući je Ljubav i svjetlo jedno, i tko je djelovao u Ljubavi na Zemlji, okružen je zračećim svjetlom; on prepoznaje, on stoji u znanju. Njemu je odjednom jasan veliki značaj zemaljskog života, i posljedice Ljubavnog ili ne-Ljubavnog načina života, i on prepoznaje da je jedino Ljubav otkupljujuća u zemaljskom postojanju. Ono što je čovjek sebi stvorio u zemaljskom bogatstvu, povećanje je onoga što na Zemlji treba biti prevladano. On je prije njegovog stadija kao čovjek, već prevladao svu materiju, odnosno oslobodio se svake forme, dakako, u stanju prisile... A na Zemlji on treba isto napraviti u slobodnom stanju. Ali, naklonost zemaljskom je žudnja za onim što je on već prije nadvladao, i tako, korak unazad. Želja za posjedovanjem je međutim istovremeno nedostatak Ljubavi, jer čovjek koji ljubi želi dati onome koga on ljubi. Onaj čovjek međutim, ljubi jedino svoje ja, i što služi na korist njegovom ja. Stoga je to pogrešna ljubav, koja nikada nema otkupljujući učinak, koja čovjeka kao lancima vezuje za materiju. I tako se sva njegova biga odnosi na tijelo, a ne na dušu, a zemaljsko bogatstvo na koje se odnosila sva ljubav na Zemlji, mora se u onostranom okrenuti u najveće siromaštvo. No, s druge strane, zemaljsko bogatstvo ne treba biti prepreka da se bude Ljubavno aktivan, ako ga on dobrovoljno daje, kako bi spriječio nevolju i brigu bližnjega... ako se srce za to žudno ne vezuje nego, ono što mu je dao Bog, okreće bližnjemu u Ljubavi. Svako djelo i misao mora biti rođeno u Ljubavi, i onda za sobom povlači najbogatiji blagoslov na Zemlji, te u onostranom život u svjetlu i blaženoj sreći.

AMEN
