6350 Fulfilment of the divine will.... right knowledge....
September 9, 1955: Book 68
A way of life according to God's will also certainly leads the human being to the realization of truth, for then he will be in divine order and consequently also in the light.... God's will is a life of love, and if His will is fulfilled, if the human being is lovingly active, all resistance against God is abandoned and the right relationship with God is established, which changes the deficient state into a state of perfection, which ensures the human being an abundance of light and strength. This is why God has made His will known through His word, this is why He has given people His commandments so that they know how they have to live on earth, so that it will be pleasing to God. And therefore the human being must also constantly listen to His word so that he will not deviate from divine will and can constantly educate himself to order if he still moves outside of divine order. For the human being himself must comply with God's will of his own free will.... It is certainly made known to him but no compulsion is exerted on the human being according to which he has to move within the divine order. Yet he can be induced to do so through truthful instruction, and the more he then fulfils God's commandments the more clairvoyant he will also be for true spiritual knowledge.... And then he will constantly increase in light and strength because his activity of love will also increase and the bond with God will become ever stronger.... and union with God also results in the flowing through of light and strength.... The human being who lacks all knowledge is also still in a lower degree of maturity, thus he will hardly perform works of love in complete unselfishness.... He will walk his earthly path completely apart from God and hardly pay attention to His will.... And he will also be completely ignorant in the spiritual sphere, even if he has great earthly knowledge.... and blind in spirit he will depart from earth in order to dwell in darkness in the kingdom of the beyond, often for an infinitely long time.... For he stands outside the divine order as long as he still resists the divine will, which he already does by not accepting any teachings given to him in order to free him from his spiritual darkness.... He will always reject them because loving activity is demanded of him, and since he is completely ignorant he does not bow down to God's will either, he remains in his selfish love and therefore hardly reaches the light, the recognition of truth.... But neither can he be blissfully happy without truth, for he cannot distribute anything himself, thus he cannot be lovingly active because he possesses nothing himself. Only when the soul gives up its resistance and trustingly asks for what it lacks in order to be able to make other souls happy with it again will it also receive.... according to its will to pass on what it has received to those who likewise suffer lack. God's will has to be fulfilled, both on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond, in order to attain light, to attain knowledge.... And the divine will is: unselfish activity of love, for only then will the eternal order be observed, only then will the perfection be achieved again which the being once gave away in free will....
Amen
