BOŽANSKA ISKRA.... LJUBAV.... PLAMEN....

Božanska iskra u čovjeku može se pretvoriti u ogromni plamen, i onda ona proždire sve s čim dođe u dodir.... tj. Ljubav-na iskra neprestano treba novu hranu, ona sve privlači u svoje područje; ona zapaljuje i isijava toplinu, ona pročišćava i kristalizira što je nečisto, ona oživljava i budi, ona prosvjetljuje i prožima sve i ne miruje sve dok ono što je od nje zahvaćeno ne pređe u plamen. A tad čovjek može ići sa Zemlje, jer onda je on postigao svoj cilj, on se priključio Vječnom Božanstvu, Koje je u Sebi čista Ljubav [[(1 Ivanova 4:8, 16)]]. Božanska Ljubav-na iskra u čovjeku stupila je u vezu s Bogom, Koji jeste Sama Ljubav....

No najčešće je potreban dug zemaljski život da bi se potpuno preobrazio u Ljubav.... najčešće se vatra Ljubavi u čovjeku ne pali, iskra doduše tinja; no ona nema snagu da se rasplamsa i da učini da se plamen žarko razgori. Pa se zato mora neprestano rasplamsavati kako se iskra ne bi ugasila, i mora joj se dostavljati hrana.... Ljubav u čovjeku mora se poticati na aktivnost.... Jedna izrazito snažna volja bližnjega mora zahvatiti njegovu dušu, Ljubav jednoga mora biti tako jaka da ju on prenese na drugoga, i na taj način se onda i iskra rasplamsava u snažan Ljubav-ni žar, tako da se oba plamena mogu stopiti i onda žarko zasjati.... Tamo gdje je jednom taj plamen upaljen, tamo on nikada više ne može biti ugašen, nego će on postajati sve svjetliji i sjajniji, pošto će uvijek nalaziti hranu.... duše, koje su u nevolji i koje će od Ljubav-nog plamena biti zahvaćane i konzumirane.

Jer, čovjek koji ljubi, te duše ne ostavlja u nevolji, i svaka djelatnost pomaganja opetovano je paljenje Božanske iskre, plamen u srcu postaje sve veći, i uskoro u okolini čovjeka neće biti ničega više što tom plamenu ne bi palo kao žrtva. No taj Ljubav-ni plamen ima jedan blagotvorni učinak, on je blag a opet pun žara, on nikoga neće povrijediti ili oštetiti, nego će usrećiti, probuditi i sazrijevati, ali on isto tako neće nikoga niti zaobići, jer plamen Ljubavi vrlo brzo se širi tamo gdje je jednom zapaljen....

Božanska iskra u čovjeku ne može biti ugašena, ali može biti zatrpana, ako još nije dovoljno velika.... Tada ona doduše i dalje tinja pod pokrivačem neljubavnosti, ali je preslaba da se probije. No ako se izvana približi mali Ljubav-ni plamen, onda Božanska iskra propulsira i sjedinjuje se sa plamičkom Ljubavi, i taj plamen dovoljan je da sažeže ono što kao omotač, kao nečistoća sprječava žarku vatru. Jer Božanska iskra u čovjeku neprestano ga iznutra potiče na Ljubav-nu aktivnost. Volja čovjeka može dakle iskru raspiriti u snažni plamen, a taj plamen uvijek ide prema Bogu, izvoru Ljubavi i Svjetla.

Jer Božja Ljubav je vječna vatra, koja tinja u najsvjetlijem žaru i u sebe želi primiti sve.... Svaki plamičak, koji se sjedinio s tom vječnom vatrom, pristigao je na svoj cilj.... No bezbrojne iskre Božanske Ljubavi još lutaju okolo, one doduše neprestano svjetlucaju, no ne nalaze hranu da bi se mogle zapaliti i svijetlo se rasplamsati.... Njihova okolina je siromašna svjetlom i Ljubavlju, samo rijetko jedan plamičak blicne kroz noć; no gdje zasvijetli, tamo se Božanska iskra probila, i taj plamičak obećava da bi se mogao rasplamsati u svijetli plamen, jer ne može biti ugašen, pošto plamen Ljubavi probija svaku prepreku, konzumira ju i njen plamen neprestano se uvećava.

No Božanska iskra je dio Boga, plamen Ljubavi je zračenje Vječne Ljubavi, i ona zato nikada više ne može biti potpuno zatrpana, već samo skromno i pojedinačno sjajiti, gdje se volja čovjeka drži dalje od svakog Ljubav-nog djelovanja, gdje on ne omogućava da se Božanska iskra u njemu razvije do plamena putem Ljubavi prema bližnjemu. I zato čovječanstvo tumara u tmini noći, i njihovi plamičci samo tu i tamo skromno zasvjetle. A opet, noć može biti [[(pr)]]osvijetljena poput dana, gdje se putem srdačnog Ljubav-nog djelovanja pali plamičak za plamičkom, koji se sjedinjuju, prelaze u veliki plamen i sjaje u najpotpunijoj svjetlosnoj snazi.... Svi oni streme u pravcu neba prema velikom svjetlu, vječnom plamenu, s kojim se žude stopiti, kako bi bili blizu prasvjetlu, Vječnoj Ljubavi....

AMEN

Divine spark.... love.... flames....

The divine spark in the human being can become an enormous flame and then it consumes everything that comes into contact with it...., i.e., the flame of love constantly needs new nourishment, it draws everything into its sphere; it ignites and radiates warmth, it purifies and crystallizes what is impure, it enlivens and awakens, it illuminates and radiates everything and does not rest until that which is seized by it becomes a flame like it. And then the human being can leave the earth, for then he will have reached his aim, he will have joined the eternal deity, Which is pure love in Itself. The divine spark of love in the human being has made contact with God, Who is love Himself.... Yet it usually takes a long earthly life in order to completely change into love.... the fire of love is usually not ignited in the human being, the spark glows but it does not have the strength to take hold and let the flame flare up brightly. And therefore it has to be continuously stoked so that the spark will not go out, and it has to be nourished.... love in the human being has to be stimulated to activity.... A fellow human being's extremely strong will must take possession of his soul, his love must be so strong that he transfers it to it, and thereby the spark will also be kindled into strong embers of love, so that both flames can merge and now shine brightly.... Once this flame has been kindled it can never go out, instead it will become ever brighter and more radiant because it will always find nourishment.... souls in need who are now seized and consumed by the flame of love. For a loving person will not leave those souls in need, and every assistance is a renewed ignition of the divine spark, the flame in the heart will become ever greater and soon there will be nothing left in the human being's surroundings which will not fall prey to the flame. Yet the flame of love has a beneficent effect, it is gentle yet full of ardour, it will not hurt or harm anyone but it will delight, awaken and mature, but it will not leave anyone out either, for the flames of love spread very quickly once they have been kindled....

The divine spark in man cannot be extinguished, but it can be buried if it is not yet big enough.... Then it will continue to glow under the cover of unkindness, but it is too weak to break through. If, however, a small flame of love comes from outside, then the divine spark breaks through and connects with the flame of love, and the flame is enough to consume what is still a shell, a cinder that prevents a bright fire. For the divine spark in the human being always drives him to love activity from within. The human being's will can therefore kindle the spark into the strongest flame, and this flame always takes the direction towards God, towards the exit of love and light. For God's love is an eternal fire which blazes in brightest embers and wants to absorb everything.... every little flame which has united with the eternal fire has reached its aim.... But countless sparks of divine love are still wandering around, they glow unceasingly but find no nourishment to ignite and blaze brightly.... Their surroundings are poor in light and love, rarely does a tiny flame twitch through the night; but where it lights up, the divine spark has broken through, and the tiny flame promises to become a bright flame, for it cannot be extinguished because the flame of love penetrates every obstacle, consumes it and its flame constantly increases. Yet the divine spark is a part of God, the flame of love is an emanation of eternal love, and therefore it can never be completely extinguished, it can only shine sparsely and sporadically where the human being's will keeps itself away from every activity of love, where he does not let the divine spark in him become a flame through active neighbourly love. And that is why humanity walks along in the darkness of night, and its little flames only shine sparsely now and then. And yet the night can be illuminated as bright as day where, through industrious activity of love, little flame after little flame is ignited, which come together, become a great flame and shine in fullest luminosity.... all of which strive heavenwards towards the great light, the eternal flame, with which they seek to merge in order to be close to the primal light, the eternal love....

Amen
