Ono protiv čega se judi ponajviše uzbunjuju, je prihvaćanje učenja o čestitom načinu života, pod čime treba razumjeti odricanje od svake tjelesne senzualne uzbuđenosti (čulne opijenosti, čulne zanesenosti), koja nema za pretpostavku volju za buđenjem novog života. Ovaj nagon je iznimno snažno razvijen, kako bi se upravo na tome mogla iskušati najveća suprotstavljena volja, ali mali dio ljudi se bori protiv ove požude tijela. Oni popuštaju tjelesnom impulsu, i teže neprestanom udovoljavanju, i kroz to svojoj duši nanose tako veliku štetu, jer sada se više ne mogu čisto duhovno pokretati, gdje je volja za nadvladavanjem ove požude tako oslabljena. Sasvim prirodni proces začinjanja čovjeka je, u najmudrijem uvidu Božanskog Stvoritelja, povezan sa tjelesnom ugodom (zadovoljstvom), kako bi ona uvijek iznova poticala na oplođivanje, a da bi se kroz to dala prilika dušama koje čekaju utjelovljenje, da uđu u život na Zemlji. Ovo je jedina svrha združivanja muškarca i žene, te treba biti dobro razmotrena, i kroz neumoljivo suzdržavanje (apstinenciju) i samoodricanje (samopokoru, samo-umrtvljivanje), svako senzualno uzbuđenje, koliko god je moguće, treba biti kontrolirano. Ako se namjesto toga nastoji izbjeći najveći zemaljski zadatak, te se razuzdano prepušta samo tjelesnim žudnjama, vrlo brzo će se ovima dopustiti da postanu glavni pokretač života, i da kroz to stvore nepremostivu prepreku duši, koja ne može pronaći put uvis. Ona je, kroz ovu požudu tijela, čvrsto zadržana na Zemlji, i vlastitom se snagom ne može vinuti uvis, stalno i uvijek iznova ona pada nazad, i mora se neizmjerno boriti kroz nagone tijela nakon ispunjenja njegove naslade. Organi čovjeka ne trebaju naprosto zadovoljiti žudnju, nego se čovjek može vrlo dobro istrenirati (naučiti) uzdržljivosti i nadvladavanju svojih žudnji, jer žudnja raste što ju se više ispunja, te ju također treba u jednakoj mjeri obuzdati, ukoliko je volja jaka, i čovjek svjestan koju štetu nanosi duši, kada je tijelo potpuno namireno (zadovoljeno). Ali, ovo ljudi ne žele prihvatiti, ne žele sebi postaviti nikakvo ograničenje, i otuda divljaju protiv svoje vlastite duše, da tijelo ne puste patiti.... A stvarno određenje njihovog tijela, da iznova začinje ljudska bića, oni potpuno zanemaruju, čime ne nanose štetu jedino sebi samima, nego istovremeno i dušama koje se žele utjeloviti, uskraćujući im ulazak u ljudsko tijelo i tako sprječavajući novo rođenje.
AMEN
TranslatorWhat people resist the most is the acceptance of the teachings of a civilized way of life, which means renouncing all bodily sensual intoxication that does not have the will to awaken a new life as a prerequisite. This urge is so strongly developed that it can test the greatest will to resist, but very few people fight against this desire of the flesh. They give in to the physical urge and strive for everlasting satisfaction and thereby cause so much damage to their soul, for they can no longer be purely spiritually active where the will to overcome this desire is so weakened. The entirely natural process of the human being's procreation is combined with physical comfort by the divine creator in wisest insight in order to repeatedly induce him to procreate and thereby give the souls awaiting embodiment the opportunity to enter into existence on earth. This is the sole purpose of the union of man and woman and should be well considered and, through strict restraint and self-mortification, every sensual intoxication should be controlled as far as possible. Instead of this, one tries to avoid the greatest earthly task and gives oneself unrestrainedly to bodily desires, even to let these soon become the mainspring of life and thereby prepare an insurmountable obstacle for the soul, which does not let it find its way upwards. It is held to earth by this desire of the body and cannot swing upwards of its own strength, again and again it sinks back and has to struggle immeasurably due to the body's urge to fulfil its desire. The human being's organs do not absolutely need the desire to be satisfied but the human being can very well educate himself to abstinence and to overcome his desires, for the desire increases the more it is satisfied and can also be tamed to the same extent if the will is strong and the human being is aware of the damage he causes to the soul when the body is completely satisfied. But people don't want to accept such things, they don't want to impose any restrictions on themselves and therefore rage against their own soul in order not to let the body live in want.... And they completely disregard the actual purpose of their body, to beget human beings again, thereby not only harming themselves but at the same time denying the souls which want to embody themselves entry into the human body and thus preventing the new birth....
