'Knowledge' is not yet 'realization'....

People's views diverge widely, especially in the spiritual field. Educationally people have arrived at a knowledge which is very incomplete, and therefore they are all too often inclined to discard everything than to seek to expand their knowledge. And that is why they remain in a certain stagnation of their development. But they can also use their intellect to invalidate the knowledge they possess. And then they still lost instead of gaining during their life on earth. But again and again they are given the opportunity to take a stand on spiritual questions, again and again they are prompted to reflect by strokes of fate or events of all kinds. And the decisive factor is their inner attitude towards love.... A person who is willing to love will nevertheless slowly attain the right way of thinking, even if he was previously dismissive. But where all love is lacking, intellect will always become more prominent and instead of clarity create more and more confusion, because the spiritual spark withdraws where love does not cause it to express itself. And so people's opinions must naturally diverge the more different the willingness to love develops in them. A person without love cannot have truthful thoughts, just as conversely a person who is willing to love is always more able to recognize truth from within. And thus the knowledge initially imparted to the human being is merely an auxiliary ladder in order to reach the truth, for love is preached to every person.... or also: it is made understandable to him that unloving actions do not make a person happy, whereas love bestows happiness.... And thus the human being also has to adjust himself to this 'realization', and accordingly the attitude towards 'truth' will now also be, accordingly the depth of knowledge will be.... It will become a living knowledge or remain a dead knowledge. And only then can the human being speak of realization when the knowledge in him has become a living knowledge. Love, then, is the key to realization.... Without love, however, the intellect can be as active as it likes, its results will always deviate from the truth, they will not bring the human being light but only increased darkness. And thus the pure truth will also meet with resistance and rejection where unkindness is openly revealed, whereas it is willingly and happily accepted by people who have a heart willing to love.... No other explanation can be given to you humans than this, that a person's state of light will always be similar to his state of love and that therefore equal spiritual views will never be found as long as people do not have the same degree of love. But again and again God will fatefully intervene so that the spark of love can ignite in the human being. States of adversity approach him so often and so urgently that his heart could be inflamed by them, that he could be impelled from within to help and then the spiritual darkness would also be dispersed.... that sparks of light would flash up and bring illumination to the human being which would then also spread and his thinking would then be changed.... But nothing happens through compulsion.... and love cannot be forced either. But no human being is without the divine spark of love, and it is possible to ignite it at any time. But it is extremely happy when there is spiritual agreement among people, for the divine spark works in them, it ignites a light which will never go out again and which also certainly illuminates the path that leads to the aim: back to the father, home to the father's house....

Amen

"ZNANJE" JOŠ NIJE NIKAKVA "SPOZNAJA"....

Ljudska se mišljenja uvelike razilaze, posebno u duhovnom području. Ljudi su u skladu sa obrazovanjem došli do znanja koje je vrlo oskudno, i otuda su prečesto skloni sve odbaciti, radije nego da pokušaju proširiti znanje. I zato oni ostaju u izvjesnom zastoju njihovog razvoja. No, oni također mogu svoj razum upotrijebiti da znanje koje posjeduju ospore. A onda su oni čak izgubili, namjesto da steknu tijekom njihovog zemaljskog života. No, njima će uvijek iznova biti dana prilika da zauzmu stav naspram duhovnih pitanja, uvijek iznova će, kroz udarce sudbine ili zbivanja svake vrste, oni biti potaknuti na promišljanje. I sada je presudan njihov unutarnji stav prema Ljubavi.... Čovjek voljan Ljubiti, polako će doći do ispravnog mišljenja, čak i ako je on isprva bio u odbijanju. Ali, gdje nedostaje svaka Ljubav, uvijek će se isticati razum, i namjesto jasnoće, uvijek nastajati sve veća zbunjenost, budući se duhovna iskra povlači, tamo gdje ju Ljubav ne potiče na izražavanje. I tako se također prirodno, ljudska mišljenja moraju razilaziti, što različitije se u njima razvija Ljubavna volja (spremnost). Čovjek bez Ljubavi ne može imati mišljenje u skladu sa Istinom, kao što je naprotiv, čovjek koji je voljan Ljubiti, Istinu u stanju sve više prepoznati iznutra. A, znanje početno preneseno čovjeku, samo je jedna pomoćna stepenica za doći do Istine, budući je svakom čovjeku propovijedana Ljubav.... ili također: učinjeno mu je shvatljivim da postupanje bez Ljubavi ne usrećuje nijednog čovjeka, dok Ljubav poklanja sreću.... I tako se čovjek također mora odgovarajuće postaviti prema ovoj „spoznaji“, a onda će odgovarajući biti i njegov stav prema „Istini“, odgovarajuća će biti dubina znanja.... To će postati živo znanje, ili će ostati mrtvo znanje. A čovjek može govoriti o spoznaji tek onda kada je u njemu znanje postalo živo. Ljubav je stoga ključ za spoznaju.... Bez Ljubavi međutim, ma koliko razum mogao biti živahan, njegovi zaključci će uvijek odstupati od Istine, oni čovjeku neće donijeti nikakvo svjetlo, nego jedino veću tamu. I tako će Čista Istina također nailaziti na otpor i odbacivanje, tamo gdje postaje očigledan nedostatak Ljubavi, dok će biti spremno i sretno prihvaćena od ljudi koji imaju srce voljno Ljubiti.... Vama ljudima ne može biti dano nijedno drugo objašnjenje osim ovoga, da se stanje svjetla uvijek prilagođava stanju Ljubavi čovjeka, i da se zato neće nikada pronaći isti pogledi u duhovnom smislu, dok god ljudi ne pokazuju isti stupanj Ljubavi. Ali, od strane Boga će uvijek iznova biti sudbinski uticano da se Ljubavna iskra može zapaliti u čovjeku. Njemu će tako često prilaziti nevolje, zahtijevajući pomoć, da bi se srce kroz to moglo zapaliti, da bi on mogao biti iznutra potaknut na pružanje pomoći, te se onda također odvojiti od duhovne tame.... da zabljesnu iskre svjetla i čovjeku donesu prosvjetljenje, koje se onda također širi, i njihovo mišljenje se tada mijenja.... No, ništa se ne događa putem prisile.... te ni Ljubav ne može biti iznuđena. Ipak, nijedan čovjek nije bez Božanske Ljubavne iskre, i nju je uvijek moguće zapaliti. Međutim, nadasve usrećujuće je kada među ljudima vlada duhovni sklad, jer u njima djeluje Božanska iskra, ona pali svjetlo koje se više nikada neće ugasiti, i koje također sa sigurnošću osvjetljava put koji vodi k cilju: povratak Ocu, domu u Očinskoj kući.

AMEN
