0644 Man the greatest miracle of creation.... mental activity....

October 29, 1938: Book 14

The lord's ways are marvellous, and by completely submitting to God's will the human being is always visibly guided towards what serves his soul's perfection. And so all the hours you use to win erring souls for the kingdom of heaven are also particularly blessed for yourself. The slightest encouragement of such a soul can already cause it to turn more and more to spiritual thoughts. These people will see something unusual in such an experience and, even if they cannot completely fathom it, will nevertheless pay more attention to the words and try to give an account of it to themselves, and their further life will always be somewhat under the impression of what they have heard. Similarly, their thirst for knowledge will also be stimulated, they will seek to investigate and no longer live thoughtlessly, for many are willing to believe if only God's teaching is offered to them in the right way. That is why people on earth should use the time and diligently seek and investigate, only always on the path of the heart.... They should never switch off God when faced with the most important, solely unsolvable question of life, but ask their creator for an answer, and this will then become clear and undoubted.... For God alone is able to solve this question and will instruct man and give him explanations according to his desire and willingness to believe. Man is indisputably the greatest miracle of divine creation and was truly not created this way without meaning and purpose.... All functions of the body serve to maintain and determine it, and likewise the activity of thought must also be based on a certain intention which aims at more than just the exercise of earthly activity.... It must be clear to the human being that, if many miracles of divine creation exist apart from him, visible and invisible to man, the activity of thought can and must also extend to such. For what else would the whole of creation be for if man, standing completely apart from it, could not make it the centre of all mental activity.... How could everything be explained if all research appeared to man to be completely pointless and no connection whatsoever could be established between human thought and creation in the universe? What is visible to man must inevitably stimulate him to reflect, and this in turn must lead man to conclude that he is a being to Whom everything is subject.... Where thoughts are once in such activity, faith must also start there, and if the human being then turns to precisely this higher being in incipient faith, asking It for realization, then his desire will be granted and his thoughts will wander ever deeper and, because they are correctly guided by God, will soon come closer to the truth and strengthen faith in the human being, for no-one who takes refuge in God goes the wrong way. Everyone who recognizes a deity should bear this in mind.... that this eternal deity will not let Its living creations grope in darkness if they have approached It for enlightenment. The creator of heaven and earth will always have the means at His disposal to approach the human being in a clearly recognizable way, only the human being must have the full will to do and recognize what is right and turn to the creator with complete faith, then his path on earth will truly be the right one....

Amen
