PRIDOBIVANJE DUHOVNIH DOBRIN.... ZEMELJSKA DEJAVNOST.... LENOST....

Nič ni na Zemlji pomembno, razen razvoja duše na višje. Zato je vsaka zemeljska dejavnost zadovoljiva edino takrat, ko se obenem tudi izvaja duhovna dejavnost, ki kot najnujnejša dejavnost ne sme biti nikoli zanemarjena, če želimo, da bo zemeljsko življenje uspešno. Namreč vse zemeljske dobrine, ki so pridobljene preko izvajanja zemeljskih dejavnosti, so minljiva lastnina, ki vam sicer resda lahko zagotovijo zemeljska ugodja, vendar pa le tedaj, ko to dovoli Moja volja. Vi morate izpolniti zemeljsko nalogo, ki vam mora biti edina pomembna.... morate duhovno dozorevati....

Vendar pa je svet z vsem, kar se vam zdi, da je vredno, le sredstvo za doseganje namena; to so priložnosti, v katerih morate dozorevati. Tako se mora zemeljsko življenje živeti sredi teh stvari, ki vas privlačijo in spodbujajo na zemeljsko dejavnost, kar pa samo po sebi ne sme biti vaš namen. Vi morate v sebi prebuditi ter zadržati zavedanje o tem, da morate izpolniti višjo nalogo od samega povečevanja zemeljske lastnine ali ustvarjanja telesnih ugodij; in šele takrat je duhovnemu delu dana prioriteta pred zemeljskim, vi izpolnjujete namen zemeljskega življenja. Tako da morate biti vedno osredotočeni na to, da si vi ne morete podaljšati zemeljskega življenja niti za en dan.

Nadalje, morate računati na to, da boste (od)poklicani, pri čemer ste zavedajte, da boste morali vse to zemeljsko, kar ste si nabrali, pustiti in da v onostranstvo lahko prenesete edinole duhovne dobrine, ki ste si jih nabrali. Tako da je vsaka stvar na Zemlji, ki se vam zdi vredna hrepenenja, brezvredna, ker je to materija, ki ne gre z vami v duhovno kraljestvo, temveč vedno pripada Zemlji, na kateri pa vi živite le kratek čas. In ker ne veste, kdaj bo prišel vaš čas, boste ravnali pametno edino takrat, ko vsak dan izkoristite, da bi si nabirali duhovna bogastva.

Zaradi tega edinole duhovna dejavnost prinaša koristi, četudi morate ravno tako izpolnjevati vaše zemeljske obveznosti in delati dela, ki bližnjemu prinašajo koristi. Naj eden služi drugemu.... tedaj je vsaka zemeljska dejavnost obenem tudi služenje bližnjemu, če mu pri tem ne povzroči škode. Zaradi tega človek ne sme biti len, ker drugače ne izkorišča njegove življenjske moči in njegova dela Ljubezni do bližnjega bodo edinole zelo majhna. Ravno tako len človek ne bo izvajal duhovnega dela, ker je za to delo potrebno srce, ki je pripravljeno za Ljubezen; ta pripravljenost za Ljubezen pa se vedno izraža na način, da se bližnjega oskrbuje v njegovih potrebah, naj bo to telesno ali pa duševno.

To, kar človeka oblikuje, da bi služil bližnjemu, je zemeljska dejavnost, ki se istočasno računa kot duhovno delo na duši. Vendar pa je tista zemeljska dejavnost, ki teži edino k lastni koristi, ki je spodbujena s samoljubjem, brezvredna za večnost. To je zaman porabljen čas, ki ga nikoli več ni mogoče nadoknaditi, ki pa obenem tudi pomeni nazadovanje za dušo. In gede na to so lahko, čisto svetovno gledano, doseženi največji uspehi, ker človek dela s pomočjo Mojega nasprotnika (Satana), ki mu zagotavlja zemeljska bogastva v največji meri. Torej nek takšen človek po svoji smrti vstopa v onostranstvo prazen in siromašen, ker mora na Zemlji vse pustiti za seboj, od duhovnih dobrina pa nima ničesar. Njegovo življenje je bilo preživeto brez namena (zaman) in njega v onostranstvu čaka žalostna (bridka) usoda....

AMEN

Acquiring spiritual goods.... earthly activity.... idleness....

Nothing is more important on earth than the soul's development upwards. Therefore, every earthly activity should only satisfy you if spiritual work is carried out at the same time, which, as the most necessary activity, must never be disregarded if earthly life is to be successful. For whatever earthly possessions you gain through earthly activity are impermanent possessions which can certainly secure you an earthly life of well-being, but only if My will allows it. You have an earthly task to fulfil which alone should be important to you.... you shall mature spiritually.... And the world, together with everything desirable to you, is only the means to an end; it is the opportunities in which you are to mature. And thus earthly life must indeed be lived in the midst of these things which stimulate and spur you on to earthly activity, yet it must not be an end in itself, you must become and remain aware that you have a higher task to fulfil than merely increasing earthly possessions or creating physical comfort, and only when spiritual work precedes earthly work will you fulfil the purpose of earthly life. And therefore you must always bear in mind that it is not in your power to prolong your earthly life by just one day. Furthermore, you must always reckon with being called away and be aware of the fact that you will then have to leave behind everything you have acquired on earth and may only take over into the beyond what you have acquired in spiritual treasures. And thus every thing is worthless which appears desirable to you on earth, for it is matter which does not follow you into the spiritual kingdom but is always and constantly a share of earth which, however, you only live in for a short time. And since you never know when your time is up you will only act wisely if you use every day to acquire spiritual wealth. Therefore, spiritual activity alone is profitable, even though you should also do your earthly duty and carry out work which is of benefit to your neighbour. One should serve the other.... then every earthly activity is, as it were, a service to the neighbour as long as it is not detrimental to him. For this reason a person must not be idle, otherwise he will not use his vitality and his works of neighbourly love will only be minimal. An idle person will not do spiritual work either, for this requires a heart willing to love, and willingness to love always expresses itself in such a way that the neighbour's needs, be they of a physical or spiritual nature, are taken into account. What the human being does to serve his fellow human beings is earthly activity which is at the same time credited as spiritual soul work, but earthly work which only strives for one's own advantage, which is only motivated by self-love, is worthless for eternity. It is uselessly wasted time which can never be recovered, which, moreover, still means a decline for the soul, yet from a purely worldly point of view the greatest advantages are achieved because the human being works with the help of My adversary who provides him with earthly goods to a great extent. Yet such a person enters the spiritual kingdom empty and poor after his death, for he has to leave everything behind on earth and has no spiritual treasures to show for it. His life was lived to no purpose and a sad fate awaits him in the beyond....

Amen
