Spiritual guides.... Earthly Path.... Signpost....

People who do not know the right path stray and move away from the right goal instead of approaching it. And that is why they need a good guide, a signpost who knows the right path and warns and urges attention wherever there is a danger of taking a wrong turn and missing the right path. But he who knows the way also knows the goal and will now eagerly help his fellow human beings to reach this goal.... But the goal of earthly life is the spiritual kingdom in all its glory.... And the path to this is arduous and narrow, it is not easily passable but short if it is covered without stopping, if the human being does not hesitate or constantly look back and looks for an easier way to pass.... Then the goal can be reached quickly, i.e., the human being can reach a degree of perfection while still on earth, that he carries the kingdom of God within himself, that the heaviness of earth no longer weighs him down, that he has found union with God before he leaves his earthly body. But then vast realms spread out before his spiritual eye which fill him with bliss, then all the events and troubles of the path are forgotten, for they do not outweigh the glories which are now bestowed upon him. And then the soul is grateful to the guidance which has looked after it on its earthly path.... But the right Guidance is God Himself, Who instructs people on earth through His Word and thus informs them of the right path which leads to Him. And He commissions willing servants on earth to take over the office of guidance, i.e., to bring His Word to people, He first instructs His servants in the right truth so that they will then act as mediators for their fellow human beings, so that they, too, will take note of the truth, of God's Word, which flows forth from His sanctified mouth and is conveyed by Him directly to earth through His messengers. And therefore, guides who know the right path will constantly appear along the way and guide the wayfarers correctly, informing them of the dangers they should be aware of, of the goal and of the strength from God which is available to everyone who walks the path with serious intention of reaching the goal, which is eternal bliss. And these guides are to be listened to, their advice and admonitions are to be heeded, for they are appointed by God, they are given to people so that they will not go astray, so that they cannot say that they have not found the right path but can enter and follow it at any time if they are seriously determined to reach the goal. These leaders proclaim to you the Word of God, which is the right path.... For the Word of God is truth, because God is the Eternal Truth Himself; it leads towards the goal.... eternal life.... and whoever chooses God Himself as his guide by accepting and following the divine Word can never miss the right path, he will reach his goal.... he will live for eternity....

Amen

DUHOVNI VOĐE.... ZEMALJSKI PUT.... PUTOKAZATELJ(I)....

Ljudi koji ne znaju pravi put zastranjuju (gube se) i udaljavaju od pravog cilja, umjesto da mu se približavaju. Stoga im je potreban dobar vodič (vođa), putokazatelj, koji poznaje pravi put te upozorava i poziva na pažnju gdje god postoji opasnost od skretanja na krivi put i mašenja pravog puta. No tko zna put, taj poznaje i cilj te će tada pun elana i bližnjima pomagati da i oni pristignu na taj cilj....

A cilj zemaljskog života je duhovno kraljevstvo u svoj slavi i divoti.... Ali put u njega mukotrpan je i uzak, on nije lako prohodan, no kratak je ako se bez zadržavanja pređe, ako čovjek ne oklijeva ili se neprestano osvrće i traži put kojim se lakše ide.... Tad se na taj cilj brzo stiže, tj. još na Zemlji čovjek može postići jedan stupanj savršenstva tako da u sebi nosi Kraljevstvo Božje, da ga više ne pritišće zemljina teža, da je pronašao spoj s Bogom, prije nego je lišen svog zemaljskog tijela.

A tad se pred njegovim duhovnim okom otvaraju široka polja, koja ga ispunjavaju blaženošću, tad su svi događaji i muke po putu zaboravljeni, jer one se ne mogu mjeriti sa divotama koje su mu dodijeljene. I tad je duša zahvalna vodstvu koje je na nju pazilo na zemaljskom putu.... A pravo vodstvo je Sam Bog, Koji putem Svoje Riječi ljude na Zemlji uči i time ih upoznaje sa pravim putem koji vodi do Njega.

Te On nalaže voljnim slugama na Zemlji da preuzmu službu vođenja, tj. donošenja Njegove Riječi ljudima, On Svoje sluge prije toga upućuje u pravu Istinu, kako bi oni onda bili prijenosnici (iste) svojim bližnjima, kako bi i ovi bili upoznati s Istinom, s Riječju Božjom, Koja struji iz Njegovih svetih usta i direktno od Njega biva dostavljena na Zemlju putem Njegovih slugu. Stoga će se na putu neprestano pojavljivati vodiči koji znaju put i hodočasnike će ispravno voditi, upoznavati ih sa opasnostima na koje trebaju obratiti pažnju, sa ciljem i Božjom snagom koja na raspolaganju stoji svakome tko krene tim putem sa ozbiljnom namjerom da postigne taj cilj, koji je vječna blaženost.

A te vođe treba slušati, na njihove savjete i upozorenja treba obratiti pažnju, jer oni su postavljeni od Boga, oni su dani ljudima kako ovi ne bi (za)lutali, da ne mogu reći da nisu našli pravi put, nego na njega u svako doba mogu kročiti i njime ići, ako su ozbiljne volje da postignu cilj. Te vođe vam propovijedaju Riječ Božju, koja je pravi put.... Jer Riječ Božja je Istina, pošto je Bog Sama vječna Istina; ona (Riječ) vodi prema cilju.... vječnom životu.... A tko si putem prihvaćanja i slijeđenja Božje Riječi Samoga Boga bira kao vođu, taj nikada ne može promašiti pravi put, taj postiže svoj cilj.... taj će živjeti u vječnosti....

AMEN
