Temple of the lord....

The lord's temple is the human soul when it has moulded itself into love and can now take God Himself into its abode. And this temple is pleasing to God, for now the human being truly serves God, because his activity of love has made him a servant of humanity, and God rewards such love with His nearness.... He comes into the heart of the person who has adorned it as a temple of the lord. The presence of God is the most precious gift for man and therefore also sanctifies the heart that may harbour Him. It has become a temple of God, where God Himself lets His voice be heard by the person in whose heart God has taken up residence. Hearing the voice of God makes man the happiest creature on earth, and he now knows that God is supremely good and holy, that His love is boundless, which leans towards man.... Man himself has become the temple of the lord, and the union with God has taken place.... This is a blissful union, a union of that which once emerged from God with its creator, and such a union must result in supreme bliss for the human being. And this bliss must be the result of a way of life in love, for where there is love there is God.... and where there is God there is unsuspected bliss. As soon as a person has moulded his heart into a temple for the lord, he is a child of God who enters into all filial rights. And so he may also speak with the father from mouth to mouth, he can hear Him at close quarters, he can hear His voice, ask Him and desire an answer, and he will be happy beyond all measure to know that the lord is within him at all times. For whoever's heart the saviour has chosen as His temple will never lose His grace and love, for divine love has seized him and will never leave him again. His spirit has united with the father-spirit and therefore there is no more relapse. Man has passed the test of earthly life, finally freed himself from the power of God's adversary and of his own free will decided in favour of God, Who now rewards his willingness with His boundless love, with His presence, with His voice, which now sounds to him wherever and whenever he wants to hear it. And thus man's heart has become a temple which harbours the holiest within itself, the divine lord Himself, Who has taken up residence in him as He has promised....

Amen

GOSPODARJEV TEMPELJ....

Gospodarjev tempelj je človeška duša, ko se ona oblikuje v Ljubezen tako, da se lahko v njej nastani Sam Bog. In ta tempelj je Bogu prijeten, ker tedaj človek resnično služi Bogu, ker ga je njegova Ljubezen-ska dejavnost oblikovala v služabnika človeštva; neko takšno Ljubezen pa Bog nagradi s Svojo bližino.... On prihaja v srce tistega človeka, kateri ga je uredil kot Gospodarjev tempelj. Božja prisotnost je najlepše darilo za tega človeka, pa je tako počaščeno tudi (to) srce, v katerem On prebiva. Božji tempelj je nastal tam, kjer Sam Bog naredi to, da zveni Njegov glas, katerega lahko sliši človek, v čigar srcu se je nastanil Bog.

Če človek sliši Božji glas, je on zaradi tega najsrečnejša stvaritev na Zemlji; in on ve, da je Bog zelo dober in svet ter da je (On) neskončna Ljubezen, katera je človeku naklonjena.... Sam človek je postal Božji tempelj in zgodilo se je zedinjenje z Gospodarjem.... To je neko blaženo zedinjenje (združenje), spajanje tega, kar je nekoč nastalo iz Boga, z njegovim Stvarnikom; in neko takšno spajanje mora človeku prinesti največjo blaženost. Ta blaženost pa mora biti rezultat (posledica) življenja v Ljubezni; namreč tam, kjer je Ljubezen, tam je Bog.... kjer pa je Bog, tam je tudi nezamisljiva blaženost.

Ko je človek svoje srce uredil kot tempelj za Gospodarja, je on Božji otrok, ki ima vse otrokove pravice. Tako da se lahko tudi z Očetom direktno pogovarja, lahko Ga sliši v najtesnejši bližini, lahko sliši Njegov glas, Ga vpraša vprašanja in hrepeni po odgovoru; in srečen bo preko vsake mere, ker ve, da se je v njem nastanil Gospodar. Ker čigar srce je Odrešenik (Jezus Kristus) izbral za Svoj tempelj, ta ne bo nikoli izgubil Njegove milosti in Ljubezni, ker ga je zajela Božanska Ljubezen, katera ga nikoli več ne izpusti.

Njegov duh se je zedinil z Očetovim Duhom tako, da ni več propadanja. Človek je opravil izpit zemeljskega življenja. Definitivno se je oslobodil izpod oblasti Božjega nasprotnika (Satana) in se v svobodni volji odločil za Boga, Kateri pa sedaj njegovo voljnost nagrajuje s Svojo neskončno Ljubeznijo, s Svojo prisotnostjo, s Svojim glasom, katerega on sedaj sliši kjerkoli in kadarkoli to želi. In tako je človekovo srce postalo tempelj, katero v sebi nosi tisto najsvetejše: Samega Božanskega Gospodarja, Kateri se je nastanil v njem, kakor je to obljubil....
