BOŽANSKA MUDROST.... SVJETOVNO ZNANJE....

Čovjek ne obraća pažnju na Božansku mudrost kad mu je ona ponuđena, a svjetovno znanje prihvaća bez dvojbe, i time odaje da je bliži svijetu nego Bogu. Jer čovjek, koji Boga uistinu ljubi, koji vječnom Božanstvu teži svim osjetilima, njemu nije dovoljno znanje koje mu nudi svijet. Ono mu ostavlja neriješena velika pitanja koja ga ispunjavaju i koja mu može odgovoriti samo Jedan Kome ništa nije nepoznato.... o odnosu čovjeka prema Bogu, o svrsi i smislu stvaranja, o početku i cilju svih stvorenja....

Ta pitanja doduše mogu biti odgovorena od ljudi, od svjetovnih mudraca, no oni svoje poglede nikada neće moći obrazložiti, oni će samo nagađati i izvlačiti zaključke koji međutim uvijek proizlaze iz čisto svjetovnog razmišljanja i vrlo su različiti od Čiste Istine. I niti oni koji pitaju niti pak oni koji daju odgovore neće biti uvjereni da su u najpotpunijoj Istini.... No ako je čovjek daleko od Boga, on se odgovorom svjetski mudroga čovjeka da zadovoljiti, jer taj odgovor mu je po volji i prihvatljiviji mu je od Božanske mudrosti.

A potonju će priznati samo oni ljudi koji se nalaze u uskoj vezi s Bogom, kojima je putem djelovanja u Ljubavi vječno Božanstvo već prišlo bliže i koji uslijed toga i prepoznaju što je Božanskog ili pak ljudskog porijekla. Ti ljudi znaju, jer oni su u potpunom uvjerenju da stoje u Istini, i njihovo znanje nije zakrpa, nego je potpuno koherentno. No svjetovno znanje će se održati, pošto će od većine biti promatrano kao mjerodavno, dok će pak duhovno znanje nailaziti na slab odaziv, a kako čovjeku bez vjere, udaljenom od Boga nedostaje moć prosuđivanja, on posljedično ne može prihvatiti ništa što ne razumije.

No onaj koji zna treba se nositi sa tim nesposobnim stanjem, on strpljivo treba prosljeđivati Čistu Istinu, on ju treba zastupati i ne dati se zbuniti ako uspjeh nije odmah vidljiv. Jer Božja Ljubav čovjeku daje mnoge prilike da dođe do spoznaje, a ta spoznaja može mu doći iznenadno tako da vrlo lako Istinu doživi kao takvu i tada se više ne opire prihvatiti ju.... Jer što god da mu svjetski mudraci nude, to će uvijek biti samo nepotpuna zakrpa i jednoga ozbiljno razmišljajućeg čovjeka trajno neće moći zadovoljiti. Jer samo Čista Istina čovjeku omogućuje da u traženju zastane, i kad ju je našao, on uz nju ostane, pošto on tada zna, da se nalazi u Istini....

AMEN

Divine wisdom.... world knowledge....

Man pays no attention to divine wisdom when it is offered to him, but he accepts the knowledge of the world unquestioningly and thereby reveals that he is more attached to the world than to God. For a person who truly loves God, who strives for the eternal deity with all his senses, is not satisfied with the knowledge that the world offers him. It leaves unsolved the great questions which fulfil him and which can only be answered by the one to Whom nothing is alien.... about the relationship of man to God, about the purpose and meaning of creation, about the beginning and goal of all creatures.... These questions can also be answered by people, by worldly wise men, but they will never be able to substantiate their views, they will only speculate and draw conclusions, which, however, always spring from purely worldly thinking and deviate greatly from the pure truth. And neither the questioner nor the answerer will be convinced that they are standing in complete truth.... But if a person is far from God, he will be satisfied with the answer of a worldly wise man, for this is more acceptable to him than divine wisdom. And so only those people will profess the latter who are in close union with God, to whom the eternal deity has already come closer through loving activity and who therefore also recognize what is of divine or human origin. These people are knowledgeable because they are fully convinced that they know the truth and their knowledge is not piecemeal but completely coherent and complementary. Worldly knowledge, however, will assert itself because it is considered authoritative by the majority, whereas spiritual knowledge finds little favour and the unbelieving person, who is distant from God, lacks the gift of judgement, consequently he cannot affirm anything he does not understand. The knowledgeable person, however, should take this incapable state into account, he should patiently try to pass on the pure truth, he should defend it and not allow himself to be put off if success is not immediately noticeable. For God's love gives the human being many opportunities to come to realization, and suddenly this realization can come to him that he then very well perceives the truth as such and is no longer reluctant to accept it.... For whatever the wise men of the world offer him will always only be inadequate piecemeal work and will not be able to satisfy a serious thinker permanently. For only the pure truth makes a person pause in his search, and once he has found it, he perseveres with it because he now knows that he stands in the truth....

Amen
