Wisdom unthinkable without love.... imperishable knowledge....

The path of truth can therefore only be found in love, and where love is lacking, a person takes a wrong path that leads them away from the truth. For to be wise means to possess knowledge that corresponds to the truth. But being wise also means having imperishable knowledge, for knowledge is worthless if it sinks into nothingness at death. Imperishable knowledge, however, is only the knowledge of things that lie beyond the earthly, and this knowledge is rarely sought, whereas the human being seeks to fathom everything of this world and sets his honour on being considered knowledgeable. This knowledge can indeed be beneficial insofar as it enables the human being to work with it in love. Such knowledge can be an asset in the hands of the one who possesses it if he utilizes it in such a way that he helps his fellow human beings and is therefore lovingly active.... Then he also acquires goods for eternity with earthly knowledge, and these are imperishable, even if he does not take the knowledge with him into eternity.... With spiritual knowledge, however, the human being can likewise help his fellow human being by directly imparting spiritual possessions to the soul, thus likewise accumulating imperishable possessions, both for himself as well as for the fellow human being to whom he imparts spiritual possessions. And only that person is truly wise who works and creates for eternity, who therefore already gains clarity about spiritual things on earth and then lives his earthly life in accordance with this realization. His knowledge is indestructible and extremely valuable, even if it is not properly valued by people due to ignorance. Worldly knowledge, however, mostly only helps to increase earthly possessions and is therefore overvalued on earth without benefiting the soul unless it is utilized for the benefit of a fellow human being, i.e. it is valued with love for him. And so love must always dominate the human being at the same time if the human being is to be truly knowledgeable or if worldly knowledge is also to bring him spiritual success. Without love, however, all knowledge is dead.... and without love a person's knowledge is usually far removed from the truth....

Amen

MUDROST JE NEZAMISLIVA BEZ LJUBAVI.... NEPROLAZNO ZNANJE....

Put mudrosti se stoga nalazi jedino u Ljubavi, a gdje nedostaje Ljubav, tamo čovjek ide pogrešnim putem, koji ga odvodi od Istine. Jer, biti mudar znači posjedovati znanje koje odgovara Istini. No, biti mudar međutim, također znači imati neprolazno znanje, jer znanje je bezvrijedno ako sa smrću potone u ništa. Neprolazno znanje, međutim, jedino je ono o stvarima koje su izvan zemaljskog, a tom znanju će se malo težiti, sve dok čovjek nastoji istražiti sve ovozemaljsko, i svoju čast drži u tome da važi kao mudar. Ovo znanje može zaista biti od blagoslova, budući čovjeka čini sposobnim s time djelovati u Ljubavi. Takvo znanje može biti kapital u rukama onoga koji ga posjeduje, ako ga on mudro koristi, tako da pomaže bližnjima, pa je tako Ljubavno aktivan.... Onda on stječe dobra za vječnost, čak i sa zemaljskim znanjem, a ova su neprolazna, premda on to znanje ne nosi sa sobom u vječnost.... S duhovnim znanjem čovjek međutim također može pružiti pomoć bližnjemu, direktno prenoseći duši duhovno znanje, stoga on također prikuplja neprolazna dobra, kako za sebe, tako također i za bližnjega kojemu prenosi duhovno znanje. A doista je mudar jedino čovjek koji djeluje i stvara za vječnost, koji tako već na Zemlji sebi pribavlja jasnoću nad duhovnim stvarima, i potom živi svoj zemaljski život u skladu s ovom spoznajom. Njegovo znanje je neuništivo, i krajnje dragocjeno, premda zbog neznanja nije ispravno vrjednovano od strane ljudi. Svjetovno znanje međutim ponajčešće pomaže jedino povećanju zemaljskih dobara, i na Zemlji je stoga iznimno cijenjeno, bez da duši donosi korist, osim ako je ono upotrijebljeno za dobro bližnjega, odnosno u Ljubavi za njega iskorišteno. I tako istodobno mora Ljubav ovladati čovjekom, ukoliko on želi biti istinski mudar ili, svjetovno znanje njemu treba osigurati i duševni uspjeh (rezultat). Bez Ljubavi je međutim svako znanje mrtvo dobro.... i bez Ljubavi je čovjekovo znanje skoro uvijek vrlo daleko od Istine.

AMEN
