0677 Will alone the path to truth and knowledge.... humility.... arrogance....

November 22, 1938: Book 14

Depending on the strength of his will, man's realization will also be. If the intention is to live pleasing to the lord God and to fulfil his destiny on earth according to God's will, then it will also soon become light and bright in him, and he will feel with complete certainty in his heart what is right, and the truth will reveal itself to him. For only the will guides him onto the right path, the path of truth and knowledge. He who lacks the will will never attain full clarity, and it is therefore also more advisable to leave oneself to God's providence in good will than to want to fathom the truth intellectually on one's own authority.... For the human being will always err as long as the endeavour does not begin for the reason that alone corresponds to God's will.... to thereby show himself compliant to the creator from eternity. Humility and complete submission to the lord are the first conditions for reaching the lord one day.... What once separated the soul from God was arrogance and imperiousness. And so only through self-abasement can the soul find its way back to God.... But there is no humility in the intellectual desire to fathom.... Man imagines himself capable of penetrating creation and its secrets by his own strength and will therefore never be able to find the right illumination of the spirit until he finally, in self-recognition of his weakness, turns to the creator Himself in supplication and deep humility.... Then his endeavour will be crowned with success and provide him with all knowledge. And therefore the path to realization can only be entered when the soul is seized by the deepest willingness to serve the lord God.... This will is so extremely successful because it unites everything in itself.... humility and deep love for God and thus also active neighbourly love, for the human being does not desire the truth for himself alone but at the same time endeavours to work for the lord and to take care of the erring souls of his fellow human beings. Such endeavours will then also be blessed, as the whole of earthly life is only for the redemption from the darkness of the spirit. The continuous instruction of the earthly child is then also directly related to the active support, for the human being's will can only remain active without interruption if it is kept active through the supply of spiritual nourishment.... He will be steeled to the highest efficiency if the human being is instructed in his task by the heavenly father Himself.... For the more divine love reveals itself to the earthly child, the more eagerly it will endeavour to become worthy of this love, and it will therefore fully dedicate itself to the task of receiving and giving light to all its fellow human beings. For this alone is the destiny of everyone on earth, to redeem himself from the night of the spirit in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light.... of eternal truth....

Amen
