Vi ste zasigurno slobodni priključiti se bilo kojoj školi razmišljanja, ipak uvijek morate imati na umu kako postoji samo jedna Istina, da, pošto različite škole razmišljanja također naučavaju različite doktrine, jedino jedna može biti istinita, prema tome ispitivanje nikada ne bi trebalo biti izbjegnuto, kojeg svatko može sprovesti ako to iskreno želi. Istina je zajamčena gdje su Božanska Otkrovenja prenešena na Zemlju; prema tome ona uvijek mogu biti iskorištena radi poređenja. A Istina jedino postoji gdje se ona slaže sa učenjima Božanski dodijeljene Riječi. Međutim, ako direktno Otkrovenje nije dostupno radi poređenja, onda je apsolutno nužno zamoliti Boga za pomoć, u kojem slučaju će ljudsko biće sigurno donijeti ispravnu odluku, to jest, on će ili odlučiti za ili će pak odbaciti što ga njegova škola razmišljanja obavezuje vjerovati.... Iskrena žudnja za upoznavanjem Istine i molitva Bogu u duhu i Istini mu osigurava da će ispravno prepoznati što je Istina a što pogreška. I njegovo će ga srce bilo ohrabriti ili upozoriti protiv pripojenja školi razmišljanja, ali on također mora obratiti pažnju na njegov osjećaj a ne djelovati protiv njega.
Ni jedna duhovna organizacija na Zemlji nije lišena pogreške, pošto će Čista Istina, koja je početno motvirala utemeljitelja da ju zastupa i pridobije bližnja ljudska bića, biti opet i iznova promijenjena od strane ljudi. To je zašto će svaki tražitelj u svim školama razmišljanja doživjeti dvojbe, i to iz dobrog razloga, tako da će ganjati samu Istinu, i, kroz iskrenu odlučnost i u povezanosti sa Bogom kroz molitvu i dobrodušnu aktivnost, probuditi Duha u njemu, koji će ga onda podučiti istinski i uvesti ga u istinito znanje. Osoba prema tome može pronaći Istinu u bilo kojem duhovnom pokretu pod uvjetom da ju on istinski želi. Međutim, slijepi vođa neće biti vrlo blagotvoran; on će takođe zavesti svakog tko mu je povjeren sve dok on sam nije svojom vlastitom voljom stekao sposobnost vidjeti. Ali osoba koja nije izvukla njegovu mudrost iz Božanskih Otkrovenja je slijepi vođa.... slijepi vođa je netko tko je opet primio njegovo znanje od isto tako slabovidnih ljudi i pri tom nije postao prosvijetljen nego putuje njegovom stazom u istoj tami kao ranije. Bog se brine za svakog tko žudi Istinu. Nedostatak znanja, i mračno duhovno stanje mogu biti nađeni jedino gdje žudnja za Istinom ne postoji budući je ovo preduvjet za Boga, kao davatelja Istine i kao same vječne Istine, da Sebe otkrije osobi, jer svakome tko ju žudi će Istina biti ponuđena.
AMEN
TranslatorYou are certainly free to join any school of thought, yet you must always remember that there is only one truth, that, because different schools of thought also teach different doctrines, only one can be true, therefore an examination should never be avoided, which anyone can carry out if he earnestly wants to. Truth is guaranteed where divine revelations are conveyed to earth; therefore they can always be used for comparison. And truth only exists where it agrees with the teachings of the divinely imparted Word. However, if a direct revelation is not available for comparison, then it is absolutely essential to appeal to God for assistance, in which case the human being will surely make the right decision, that is, he will either decide or reject what he is duty bound to believe by a school of thought.... Sincere desire to know the truth and a prayer to God in spirit and in truth assures him that he will correctly recognise what is truth and what is error. And his heart will either encourage or warn him against joining a school of thought, but he must also pay attention to his feeling and not act against it. No spiritual organisation on earth is devoid of error, because the pure truth, which originally motivated the founder to advocate it and to win fellow human beings over, will be changed by people time and again. This is why every seeker in all schools of thought will experience doubts, and for good reason, so that he will pursue the truth himself, and, through earnest deliberation and in connection with God through prayer and kind-hearted activity, awaken the spirit in him, which will then instruct him truthfully and guide him into true knowledge. A person can therefore find the truth in any spiritual movement providing he genuinely wants it. A blind person needs to entrust himself to someone sighted, and since only God can see they must be a spiritually awakened leader instructed by God, who can offer true support to the blind, who will guide him and also help him gain his vision if it is wanted by the blind himself. However, a blind leader will not be very beneficial; he will also lead everyone entrusted to him astray as long as he has not gained the ability to see of his own will. But a person who has not drawn his wisdom from divine revelations is a blind leader.... a blind leader is someone who has received his knowledge from likewise poorly sighted people again and thereby did not become enlightened but travels his path in the same darkness as before. God takes care of everyone who desires truth. Lack of knowledge, error and a dark spiritual state can only be found where the desire for truth does not exist because this is the prerequisite for God, as the Giver of truth and as the eternal Truth Himself, revealing Himself to a person, for anyone who desires it will be offered the truth....
