4597 Simple and spiritual sense of the teachings....

March 25, 1949: Book 53

You cannot grasp the depth of the instructions which are given to you through My love and grace, for you only understand the simple meaning but not the spiritual significance which every word of Mine still contains. But the simple knowledge is enough for you, for it fulfils the purpose of bringing the soul to maturity if the will is used correctly. Yet if you were to grasp the profound meaning of what I speak to you from above, your bliss would find no limits. It would be an everlasting vision into the spiritual kingdom, which is unsurpassable in its most glorious creations. But I mostly only let you receive earthly enlightenment so that you first fulfil your earthly task, which is why your spirit is certainly kept awake but does not exclusively concern itself with things which are still too early for you and only become comprehensible to the already more mature person. (26.3.1949) But with increasing maturity your capacity for comprehension also increases and the limits which are a condition in the state of imperfection can be exceeded. Then the soul is already open-minded and it can receive wisdom which is too high for the intellect alone. Then My teaching of love, which is in itself quite simple and comprehensible, will again and again illuminate and profoundly explain new problems, it will be recognized as an inexhaustible source of wisdom, it will bear witness to its founder and as a brightly shining light break through the darkness of night in a wide circle, i.e. give enlightenment to all who want to find their way out of their spiritual blindness and do not shy away from the light. Every word I have spoken on earth has eternal value, it is unchangeable and yet can be understood differently without, however, being able to be declared erroneous in one opinion. Yet a person's state of maturity determines the different interpretation, and thus every word of Mine can also be interpreted differently without being a wrong judgment. Yet a spiritually awakened person will always be able to recognize agreement, thus no open contradiction will come to light which could lead to unbelief. But spiritually immature people often take offence at words which they would like to portray as a contradiction because they are incapable of understanding them. These, therefore, can hear or read My word and only grasp the purely worldly meaning. Hence they will not increase in realization and profound wisdom either, and consequently My word will then only trigger a weak feeling of happiness in the listener's heart, which, however, could be unspeakably happy if the human being's state of maturity were higher. For then the degree of knowledge and the ability to recognize will also increase, and the human being's wisdom will constantly grow, although only the teaching of love, which originated from Me, will ever be presented to him....

Amen
