BOŽANSKA LJUBAVNA ISKRA.... ISPRAVNA I NAOPAKA LJUBAV....

Božanska iskra u čovjeku je Ljubav. Bog je u srce svakog čovjeka stavio Ljubav i njemu na Zemlji postavio zadatak.... da dopusti toj Božanskoj iskri da se rasplamsa do žarkog plamena, koji onda konzumira sve oko sebe. Znači Ljubav je prirođena svim ljudima, no kojim stvarima se ta Ljubav okreće to je prepušteno čovjeku, tj. ljudska volja određuje cilj njegovih želja, dakle predmet njegove ljubavi. Duhovna težnja i zemaljske žudnje su obilježja ispravne, tj. one Ljubavi koja je Bogu mila, te naopake ljubavi. Jer Ljubav je težnja za sjedinjenjem. Ako se čovjeku nešto približi i on se trudi to posjedovati, onda je u njemu već zapaljena Ljubav.

A oboje će mu i biti približeno kako bi se čovjek mogao odlučiti. Njemu će biti ponuđena svjetovna dobra i primamljivosti, ali će mu na raspolaganje biti stavljeno i duhovno blago, tako da se onda Ljubav u čovjeku može odlučiti koji predmet si ona bira za cilj. A u skladu s tim raste i Ljubav. Prema tome tek želja za sjedinjenjem zemaljskom životu daje njegov sadržaj, jer čovjek tad stremi posjedu.... duhovnom ili zemaljskom, već s obzirom na to kako je u njemu snažna vjera i žudnja za Bogom.

Tako da će Ljubav biti poticaj za svo njegovo postupanje i razmišljanje. Svjetovna ljubav isto je što i ne-ljubav-nost, jer svjetovna ljubav isključuje Ljubav prema Bogu, svjetovna ljubav samo stremi vlastitom posjedovanju i nikada se ne okreće bližnjemu.... A samoljublje je suprotno Ljubavi prema bližnjemu, tako da se ta ljubav izražava u ne-Ljubav-nosti spram bližnjega. Jer samoga sebe svaki će čovjek ljubiti, čak i kad njegovo razmišljanje i postupanje spram bližnjih mora biti nazvano ne-Ljubav-nim. Početno će se u čovjeku boriti dvije žudnje, a onda je bitno kojoj od tih žudnji u sebi čovjek popusti. Ako u njemu prevladava Ljubav prema dobru, onda će on uskoro nadvladati žudnje svijeta, jer dobro svoj izvor ima u Bogu, posljedično tome čovjek stremi Bogu, tako da se njegova Ljubav okreće k Njemu.

A ta Ljubav izražava se u Ljubavi prema bližnjemu, i ona će se rasplamsati do žarkog plamena. A naopaka ljubav će za cilj imati prolazno dobro; ona će stoga i biti nepostojana, ona će uvijek otkrivati nove stvari koje žudi, i ta naopaka ljubav ljude će okretati od Boga a privoditi ih Njegovom protivniku. Onda se Božanska iskra u duši čovjeka ne hrani, nego se naprotiv guši u nečistim pobudama.... čista Ljubav biva zamijenjena žudnjom koja se isto tako naziva ljubavlju, no s tom razlikom da ona za cilj nema Boga, nego Njegovog protivnika, tako da se može govoriti o naopakoj ljubavi.

A naopaka ljubav je sada značajka duhovno niskog nivoa čovječanstva. Jer tko Boga ima za cilj, tko se dakle teži spojiti s Njim, taj Boga ljubi i blizak Mu je, znači duhovno je zreliji od onih koji se nalaze udaljeni od Boga uslijed svoje naopake ljubavi prema svijetu. Jer jedino putem sjedinjenja s Bogom može se postići duhovna zrelost, i tko stremi tome, taj je u ispravnoj Ljubavi, on je u sebi zapalio Božansku iskru Ljubavi i trudi se sam oblikovati u Ljubav....

AMEN

Divine spark of love.... right and wrong love....

The divine spark in man is love. God has placed love in every human being's heart and has now given him a task on earth.... to let this divine spark of love flare up into a bright flame which then consumes everything around it. Love is therefore inherent in all people, but to which things this love turns is up to the person, i.e. the human will determines the goal of his desires, i.e. the object of his love. Spiritual desire and earthly desires characterize right love, i.e. love that is pleasing to God, and wrong love. For love is the desire for union. If something is brought to a person and he seeks to possess it, then love has already been kindled in him. And both will be brought to him so that man can decide. Earthly goods and temptations of the world are offered to him, but spiritual goods are also made available to him so that the love in man can now decide which object it takes as its goal. And love grows accordingly. The desire for union thus gives earthly life its content in the first place, for the human being now strives for possession of.... spiritual or earthly, depending on whether faith and the desire for God are strong in him. Love will therefore be the driving force behind all actions and thoughts. Worldly love is the same as unkindness, because worldly love excludes love for God, worldly love only strives for its own possessions and never turns to its neighbour.... Self-love, however, is the opposite of neighbourly love, so this love expresses itself in unkindness towards fellow human beings. For every human being will love himself, even though his thoughts and actions towards his fellow human being must be called unloving. Initially, two desires will fight within a person, and then it is important which desire within a person gives in to. If the love for the good is predominant in him, then he will soon overcome the desires for the world, for the good has its origin in God, consequently the human being strives towards God and therefore his love turns towards Him. And this love expresses itself in love for his neighbour, and it will flare up into a bright flame. But wrong love will have transient possessions as its goal; it will therefore also be unstable, it will always discover new things which it desires, and this wrong love will turn people away from God and lead them towards his adversary. The divine spark in the human soul will then not be nourished but rather suffocated in impure instincts.... pure love is replaced by a desire that is likewise regarded as love, but with the difference that its goal is not God but his adversary, so that we can speak of a perverse love. But this wrong love is now the characteristic of the spiritual low of mankind. For he who has God as his goal, thus seeks to unite with Him, loves God and is close to Him, thus spiritually more mature than those who are distant from God due to their wrong love for the world. For spiritual maturity can only be achieved through union with God, and anyone who strives for this is in the right state of love, he has ignited the divine spark of love within himself and tries to mould himself into love....

Amen
