Every activity that is for the benefit of the human soul is beneficial. For if the human being considers how short earthly time is compared to eternity, and if he further considers the minimal success he can achieve on earth.... but if, on the other hand, he imagines the value of spiritual endeavour in eternity and the happiness of the soul, which can show spiritual wealth, then he will not hesitate for long and take up the work on his soul. And only then will he pursue the right purpose of earthly life. And what a person does for his and his fellow human being's soul is already blessed by God on earth. He will stand by him in earthly adversities, He will always be willing to support the work on the soul and earthly life will always correspond to the desire for spiritual maturity. And therefore people should believingly and trustingly abandon themselves to divine guidance, for if they are serious about spiritual progress every day will bring events which are conducive to this spiritual progress. And man truly need not fear.... The more faithfully he devotes himself to God, the more successful his life on earth will be for eternity. And if the human being places his life, his earthly activity and his spiritual work at the service of his neighbour, if he therefore lovingly works to help his neighbour to spiritual maturity, he will already receive abundant blessings on earth.... He will not need to suffer hardship, he will escape severe affliction, he will banish his fellow human being's suffering and now also be relieved of his own suffering, suffering and misery will only pass him by like a dream, and God's blessing will rest on everything he starts, for he is driven by love and concern for the human soul, consequently, his soul will also be granted relief on earth. And so man can confidently look forward to the future.... If sorrow and worry still weigh him down, he himself is not faithful enough. He still sees too much of the earthly events around him, he pays too much attention to worldly things, and that is why these things also come to him as a test of his faith. If he learns to overcome them, i.e., if he ignores them, they will no longer burden him and now he can eagerly devote himself to the actual work of preparing his fellow human being's soul for eternity....
Amen
TranslatorBlagoslov prinaša vsaka dejavnost, ki se tiče koristi za človeške duše. Če namreč človek razmisli o tem, kako kratek je zemeljski čas v primerjavi z večnostjo in če on potem razmisli o minimalnem uspehu, ki ga on lahko doseže zemeljsko.... če torej on iz druge strani pogleda vrednost duhovnega prizadevanja za večnost ter srečo duše, ki lahko pokaže duhovno bogastvo, potem on ne bo dolgo okleval in bo začel delati na svoji duši. Potem pa on sledi pravilnemu cilju zemeljskega življenja. In to, kar sedaj človek dela za svojo dušo in za dušo bližnjega, pa Bog že na Zemlji blagoslavlja. On je z njim v vsaki zemeljski težavi; On bo vedno pripravljen podpreti delo na duši in zemeljsko življenje bo vedno v skladu s hrepenenjem po duhovni zrelosti. In zaradi tega se morajo ljudje v veri in z zaupanjem prepustiti Božanskemu vodstvu, ker če so oni resni pri duhovnem napredovanju, potem bo vsak dan prinesel takšne dogodke, ki služijo temu duhovnemu napredku. In človeku se resnično ni potrebn bati.... Kolikor bolj se on predaja Bogu, toliko uspešnješe bo njegovo zemeljsko življenje za večnost. In če človek svoje življenje, svoje zemeljsko delovanje in svoje duhovno delo daje za to, da služi bližnjemu, potem on postane tako Ljubezen-sko dejaven, da se on trudi bližnjemu pomagati pri duhovnem dozorevanju; potem pa bo on že na Zemlji prejel bogat blagoslov. Njemu ne bo potrebna nikakršna težava. On se bo izognil ogromni revščini. On bo odstranil trpljenje bližnjega; potem pa bo obenem tudi on osvobojen od težkega trpljenja in Božji blagoslov bo počival na vsemu, kar se on loti, ker ga spodbujata Ljubezen in skrb za človeško dušo, zaradi česar bo tudi njegova duša prejela olajšanje na Zemlji. In tako lahko človek z zaupanjem gleda v prihodnost.... Če ga še vedno pritiskata žalost in skrb, potem on sam še nima dovolj velikega prepričanja (vere). On sam še vedno preveč gleda na zemeljske dogodke okoli njega; on preveč usmerja pozornost na svetovne stvari, zaradi česar se tudi sooča s temi stvarmi, zaradi izpita njegove vere. Če se jih on nauči premagati oz. če jih on zanemari, potem ga le te ne bodo več obremenjevale; in sedaj se on lahko s polno vnemo preda resničnemu (pravemu) delu, da duše bližnjih pripravi za večnost.
