5113 Blessing of love.... aim of the human being....

April 25, 1951: Book 57

You cannot develop yourselves upwards if you don't cultivate love, if you don't change your nature which, at the beginning of embodiment, only knows selfish love which should be changed into unselfish neighbourly love. Every act of neighbourly love is a step upwards, but without love you will always walk on the same level, indeed, you are in danger of sinking backwards through offences against love, through acts of hatred and unkindness. But your aim is above, and thus you must strive to reach this aim, you must leave the abyss through a life of love and try to reach spheres where light flows to you from above, where you now clearly recognize the path you should take in order to become blissfully happy. Only love can bring you the light, only love puts you into a state of recognition, only love makes you see so that you can no longer miss the right path. Without love, however, you are blind in spirit and the darkness around you will not let you find the path which, however, you would not want to take without love either because it leads upwards but you love the depth. No other advice can be given to you than to practice unselfish neighbourly love, because everything else emerges from love.... a living faith and a most luminous recognition of truth, which impels you to ever more eager striving because it points you towards the eternal light, which is worth striving for. Nothing else can replace love.... And all good deeds you do without love, which you carry out for the sake of a purpose, which are only intended to elevate you in the eyes of your fellow human beings, are worthless for eternity, they don't take you one step further upwards, they are only done for the world and will also find their reward from the world. But right love makes good works immortal, they live on and follow you into eternity. For a right work of love is already a union with God, Who is love in Himself and Who therefore works with you if you are active in love. Right works of love are building blocks for eternity, they are the rungs of the ladder upwards to eternal happiness. Therefore don't be idle on earth and gather spiritual wealth through works of love, treasures which will follow you into eternity, for only love achieves that the soul creates a blissful fate for itself in eternity. Only love brings the soul to maturity, and only through love will a person's purpose on earth be fulfilled, so that his nature will completely change and become like God's original nature, so that he will already reach the aim on earth, the union with God, in order to be exceedingly blissful, powerful and full of light for eternity....

Amen
