ZNANJE JE MOĆ.... ZEMALJSKA MUDROST.... DUHOVNO ZNANJE....

Uvijek će se pružati nove prilike koje su u skladu sa Voljom Gospodnjom, često na početku neprepoznatljivo, no na kraju ipak u vidnom odnosu sa Voljom Gospodara. Stoga obrati pažnju na neprestane promjene oko tebe, i u stalnoj Ljubavi ostani naklonjena Gospodaru, tad će ti biti osiguran uspjeh tamo gdje ga ne možeš ni sanjati. Mora biti skovana svaka karika jednog lanca, i bez truda ništa se ne postiže, a isto tako se u neprestanom redu moraju redati jedna karika duhovnih istina za karikom kako bi se dobila jedna povezana cjelina. Tako da ti Gospodar danas poručuje slijedeće:

Znanje je moć.... odbija li čovjek zemaljsku mudrost, za očekivati je i da mu je u maloj mjeri osigurana zemaljska prednost. Neuk će ići kroz život, i ako zapostavi sve što mu pomaže da dođe do znanja nikada neće moći dospjeti do moći, ugleda i časti....

No pravo svjetlo, duhovno znanje, biti će i prepoznato u svom svojem blagotvornom djelovanju jedino od onih koji se trude da se sve više i više obogate. Živ će čovjek postati tek onda kad iskoristi svoje znanje koje mu dostavlja Božji Duh tako da bi uklonio duhovnu sljepoću bližnjih ljudi. Tako se beskrajno mnogim ljudima treba pomoći da krenu putem svjetla, i njima treba biti dano pravo znanje o Ljubavi i Mudrosti Boga. No to se može dogoditi tek onda kad je onaj koji naučava sam stekao znanje koje ga osposobljava širiti svoje uvide, i teško da će i jednome koji Istinu prima odozgor biti dovoljno da sâm iz toga izvlači korist, nego će biti bezrezervno zadovoljan tek onda kad svoje znanje može što je moguće češće podijeliti, tamo gdje je dušu koja je u zabuni (prevarena, koja griješi) potrebno uputiti na pravi put. Isto tako će i onaj koji je zemaljski znalac svoje znanje uvijek pokušavati iskoristiti, inače bi to za njega kao i za svijet bilo beznačajno.

Jer ono što čovjek zna, postaje vrijedno tek ako se na odgovarajući način može upotrijebiti za čovječanstvo. Tako da će se i duhovno znanje moći potvrditi tek onda kad je sasvim prepoznatljiv blagoslov koji je duhovnom znanju kao neprestani pratitelj osiguran od Boga i gdje se to ispunjava tamo gdje je čovjek voljan prihvatiti duhovnu Istinu.

Ništa što od Gospodara i Stvoritelja neba i Zemlje čovjeku bude dodijeljeno nije bez svrhe i cilja. Tako da će još prije propasti sva zemaljska mudrost, ali nikada Božja Riječ, koja je utjelovljenje sve Mudrosti iz Boga. Tako da u Mudrosti može rasti samo onaj koji ju uvijek prima i uzima srcem, koji ne misli na zemaljske pogodnosti i korist, nego pred očima jedino ima svoje vječno duševno zdravlje i spas. Jer njegovo znanje biti će umnoženo u tako bogatoj mjeri, da čak najmudriji zemaljski učenjak za njim daleko zaostaje, pošto je njegovo znanje prolazno a time i beskorisno za vječnost....

Knowledge is power.... earthly wisdom.... spiritual knowledge....

New opportunities will always present themselves which correspond to the will of the lord, often not recognizable at first, but later on visibly connected with the will of the lord. Therefore pay attention to the everlasting change around you and remain devoted to the lord in constant love, then you will be sure of success where you would not have dreamed of it. Every single link of a chain must be forged, and without effort nothing can be achieved, and in the same way link after link of spiritual truths must join together in uninterrupted sequence to form a coherent whole. And so the lord proclaims the following to you today:

Knowledge is power.... If a person rejects earthly wisdom, it is to be expected that all earthly advantage will also be granted to him only to a small degree. He will go through life ignorant and will never be able to attain power, prestige and honour if he ignores everything that helps him to gain knowledge.... But the right light, spiritual knowledge, will only be recognized in its full beneficial effect by those who make an effort to enrich themselves more and more. Man will only become alive when his knowledge, which is imparted to him by the spirit of God within him, is utilized in order to remedy the spiritual blindness of his fellow human beings. In this way, an infinite number of people are to be helped to walk the path of light, and they are to be taught the right knowledge about God's love and wisdom. Yet this, in turn, can only happen when the teacher has acquired knowledge himself which enables him to spread his knowledge, and therefore hardly anyone who receives the truth from above will be content with merely benefiting from it himself but will only be completely satisfied when he can share his knowledge as often as possible where it is necessary to point the erring soul onto the right path. And in the same way, the earthly-knowing person will always try to utilize his knowledge, otherwise it would be worthless for him as well as for the world. For what a person knows only gains value if it can be utilized accordingly for humanity. Thus, spiritual knowledge will only be able to assert itself if the blessing is fully recognizable, which was assured by God to spiritual knowledge as a constant companion and is also fulfilled where one is willing to accept the spiritual truth. Nothing is without purpose and goal that is shown to people by the lord and creator of heaven and earth. And so all earthly wisdom is more likely to perish, but never the divine word, which is the epitome of all wisdom from God. And therefore only those can gain wisdom who receive and absorb it with their heart, who do not think of earthly advantage but only have their eternal salvation in mind. For his knowledge will be increased to such an extent that even the wisest earthly scholar will be far behind him, since his knowledge is transient and therefore also useless for eternity....

Amen
