NOTRANJE ŽIVLJENJE.... VIŠJI RAZVOJ.... »LJUBEZEN«....

Človek samega sebe oblikuje preko svojega notranjega življenja oz. če on premišlja o sebi in svoje postopke ter razmišljanje podreja resnemu preverjanju, če si on obenem tudi prizadeva živeti tako, da lahko prenaša samega sebe, kar pa povzroči izpopolnjevanje samega sebe (oplemenitenje samega sebe) in obenem tudi duhovni napredek oz. višji razvoj duše. Sedaj je popolnoma nepomembno, v kolikšni meri se človek podreja zunanjim formam. Njegova namera (pozornost) mora biti usmerjena edino v to, da živi Bogu na zadovoljstvo; zaradi tega mora biti vse, kar on govori, misli ali dela v skladu z Božanskimi zapovedmi. Bog od teh ljudi ne zahteva ničesar drugega razen tega, da Ga oni ljubijo in da potem to Ljubezen izražajo tako, ko delajo dobro bližnjim, kakor sicer tudi živijo tako, da je iz tega prepoznavno hrepenenje po Bogu. Vsaka misel, ki je usmerjena navzgor, pričuje o Ljubezni do Boga; namreč čim ima človek hrepenenje, se bo le to vedno znova pojavilo kot misel v njemu. Če človek sedaj pričuje o svoji Ljubezni do Boga preko nenehnega hrepenenja po Njemu, potem bo Bog tudi potešil to hrepenenje tako, ko bo človeka ravno tako oskrboval s Svojo Ljubeznijo; in sedaj človek ne more drugače, kot biti dober. Zajema ga namreč Božanska Ljubezen, za katero on sam iskreno prosi preko svojega hrepenenja, in on sedaj ne more delovati brez Ljubezni (kruto, zlobno).... Torej človek se mora oblikovati v Ljubezen; zaradi tega on izpolnjuje prvo in največjo zapoved.... on Ljubezen daje in preko tega Ljubezen tudi ponovno prejema; on sam mora postati Ljubezen. Vendar pa do duševne zrelosti ne more nikoli priti človek, ki si ne pridobi Božanske Ljubezni preko del Ljubezni. Božja Ljubezen lahko zajame edino tistega človeka, ki je sam dejaven v Ljubezni. Vsako še tako majhno delo služenja v Ljubezni ravno tako predpostavlja določeno stališče do Boga.... človek mora želeti Dobro, potem se vsaj nezavestno usmerja tako, da je naklonjen Bitju, Katero je vseobsegajoča dobrota in popolnost. Želeti Dobro, zato strinjati se z Dobrim, bo ravno tako povzročilo to, da bo težnja usmerjena k Dobremu; in k takšnemu človeku se bo ravno tako približalo večno Božanstvo ter mu dovolilo, da Ga prepozna. In pravilno stališče do Boga bo kmalu določilo njegovo razmišljanje in delovanje oz. ga spodbudilo na Ljubezen-sko dejavnost (aktivnost), tako da tudi Bog lahko k njemu usmeri Svojo Ljubezen; to pa pomeni, da bo človek sedaj dozorel v svoji duši, ker Božja Ljubezen pazi nanj in mu sedaj tudi ne dovoli, da pade. Bog od človeka zahteva dokaz njegove Ljubezni do Njega; toda ne zadostuje Mu njegovo prepričevanje ali zanos (navdušenost).... Človek mora svojo Ljubezen do Boga potrditi (izraziti) v delih Ljubezni. In kakor on sedaj razdeljuje (daje) bližnjemu, tako bo tudi njemu razdeljeno (dano).... To, kar stori bližnjemu v/iz Ljubezni, mu bo Bog tisočkratno povrnil.... Toda vedno je stopnja Ljubezni tista, ki je odločujoča, v kateri on uresničuje dela Ljubezni do bližnjega. Božja Ljubezen bo v enaki meri sprejela človeka; in ker je Bog Sam Ljubezen, mora biti On prisoten v vsakem delu Ljubezni. Zaradi tega človek mora postati Ljubezen, če sta njegovo celotno razmišljanje in delovanje določena z Ljubeznijo do Boga in do bližnjega.

AMEN

Inner life - higher development.... "love"....

The human being moulds himself through his inner life, i.e. if he reflects on himself and subjects his actions and thoughts to strict scrutiny, he now also tries to live in such a way that he can stand up to himself, and this results in self-improvement. So this also means spiritual progress or higher development of the soul. It is now quite irrelevant to what extent the human being subjects himself to certain external forms. His attention must only be focussed on living in a way that is pleasing to God, i.e. everything he says, thinks or does must correspond to the divine commandments. God demands nothing more from people than that they love Him and express this love by doing good to their fellow human beings and also by living in such a way that the desire for God can be recognized. Every thought directed upwards testifies to love for God, for what the human being desires will also repeatedly arise in him as a thought. If the human being now testifies to his love for God through an everlasting desire for Him, God will also satisfy this desire by likewise showering the human being with His love, and now the human being cannot help but be good. For divine love, which he himself ardently desires through his longing, envelops him and he can no longer act without love.... But man should mould himself to love, so he fulfils the first and greatest commandment.... he gives love and thereby receives love again, so he must become love himself. But a person can never reach spiritual maturity unless he acquires divine love through works of love. God's love can only take hold of a person who practices love himself. Every service of love, however small, also requires a certain attitude towards God.... the human being must want what is good, i.e. at least unconsciously affirm the being Who is the epitome of good, of perfection. Affirming the good will also result in striving for the good, and the eternal deity will also approach such a person and reveal Himself. And the right attitude towards God will soon determine his thoughts and actions, i.e. spur him into loving activity, so that God can therefore also bestow His love upon him, which means that the human being must now mature in his soul because God's love cares for him and will no longer let him fall. God requires the human being to prove his love for Him, yet it is not enough for Him that he affirms or enthuses.... Man should demonstrate his love for God in works of love, and as he now distributes to his neighbour, so will he be distributed again.... what he does to his neighbour in love, God will repay him a thousandfold.... The degree of love in which he performs the works of charity is always decisive. God's love will take care of man to the same degree, for since God Himself is love, He must be present in every work of love. Consequently, man must become love, so that all his thoughts and actions are determined by love for God and his neighbour....

Amen
