POMANJKANJE SAMOSPOZNANJA.... SAMOLJUBJE.... TRDOGLAVOST....

Usmeri pozornost na besede, ki ti pritekajo: najhujše(najbolj bridko) življenjsko stanje si prirejajo ljudje sami, ko se nahajajo v nenehni notranji neskladnosti (disharmoniji) in ne izmolijo, da jim na pomoč priskoči Božja milost, preko katere bi bili osvobojeni pritiska, ki jih obremenjuje. Ti ljudje vedno mislijo, da je njihovo stanje nesrečno in so vedno bolj nošeni z notranjimi občutki; in na koncu je njihovo stanje le še neskončen obup, in to brez pravega vzroka.

Pri teh ljudeh je še vedno preveč razvito samoljubje, ki povzroča, da se oni ne morejo dvigniti iznad sebe in v usodi drugih ljudi najdejo veliko več smisla, tako da je tem ljudem pravilna presoja(razsodnost)vedno nekaj tujega(ne znajo pravilno presoditi). Oni zavračajo vsakršen razumen argument, zaradi česar imajo veliko težje življenje zaradi lastne trdoglavosti, ker bi drugače dobra volja naredila, da bi bilo življenje veliko znosnejše za njih.

Sàmo življenje je tako poučno (polno priložnosti za učenje) in daje večkratno osnovo (temelj), če se ga le pravilno iskoristi in če se v vseh duševnih stiskah najde pribežališče(rešitev)v Ljubezen-skem delovanju. Tedaj je na zanesljiv način prišlo do vzpostavitve ravnotežja, in srce postaja radostno.... In če oseba zanemari sebe, potem od nje odpada vse težko in ona izpolnitev življenja najde v delovanju za druge. Namen življenja je vendarle vedno edinole dozorevanje njegove osebnosti, odrekanje od izpolnjevanja lastnih želja in nenehno prostovoljno služenje.

Kolikor bolj se lahko človek podredi, toliko svobodnješe bo postalo njegovo duhovno stanje; in kolikor bolj pogosto je dejaven v samo-premagovanju, toliko močnejša bo njegova volja, in to delo na samemu sebi prinaša oplemenitenje celotnega bitja.Vedno bo vzeta v poštev edino korist bližnjega, in stanje bolečine, ki muči človeka, bo odstranjeno.... To pa doseže volja za delovanjem.... Veliko je lažje premagati svet, kot pa samega sebe....

Človek ne želi priznati, da je on sam povzročitelj tega stanja; vedno raje išče vzrokepovsod drugje, kot pa pri samemu sebi, in to je njegova napaka.... Težko je (po)nuditi pomoč tam, kjer primanjkuje samospoznanja.... ampak kje potem začeti.... Tisti, ki vedno želi biti kritičen do drugih in nikoli do sebe, bo težko prepoznal temeljno zlobo; on se bo vedno imel za vrednega obžalovanja in ne bo zbral volje, da prekine svoje stanje, ki ga še tlači.

Tako da ima samo ena stvar pravi učinek na takšno duševno stanje.... V vsej Ljubezni mu usmeriti pozornost na napačno stališče do življenja, s katerim se mora soočiti človek sam, kar pa je vedno primer, ko trpi pod pritiskom svojega razpoloženja in ne najde izhoda. Kjer je volja, tam je tudi delovanje; in šele to človeka osvobaja od vsakega zla....

AMEN

Lack of self-knowledge.... self-love.... stubbornness....

Pay attention to the words that come to you today: The most bitter state of life is prepared by those people themselves who are in perpetual self-destruction and do not implore God's grace to help them, through which they would be freed from the pressure that burdens them. These people always see their own situation as so deplorable and become more and more entangled in gloomy feelings and their whole being is ultimately just one of boundless bitterness, and that without any real cause. Their self-love is too strongly developed to overcome themselves, and they are much more likely to see the fulfilment of life in the fate of other people, and so a just judgement always remains something alien to these people. They reject all rational reasons and thus have a much more difficult life due to their own stubbornness, because good will would allow them to master life much more easily. Life itself is so instructive and provides so much guidance, if only it is utilized in the right way and people take refuge in working in love in all emotional distress. The balance is then created, as it were, and the heart becomes glad.... And when one's own person is put aside, all heaviness falls away from the person of its own accord and he finds the fulfilment of life in working for others. The purpose of life is only ever the maturing of oneself, a renunciation of the fulfilment of one's own desires and a perpetual willingness to serve. The more a person can subordinate himself, the freer his spiritual state will become, and the more often he practices self-conquest, the stronger his will will become, and this work on himself will bring about an ennoblement of the whole being, only the well-being of his fellow human being will then ever be taken into consideration, and the painful state which torments the human being will be remedied.... And this is brought about by the will to act.... it is much easier to defeat the world than oneself.... Man does not want to admit that he is the author of his condition, he always looks for the cause elsewhere than in himself, and that is his fault.... Where self-knowledge is lacking, help is hard to come by.... because then where should the lever be applied.... Those who only want to criticize others, but never themselves, will hardly recognize the basic evil, they will only ever find themselves pitiable and will not muster the will to put an end to their condition, which is nevertheless depressing. And so there is only one thing that has the right effect on such a mind.... to lovingly draw its attention to its wrong attitude towards life, which man should master himself and not allow himself to be mastered by it, which is the case every time he suffers under the pressure of his mood and cannot find a way out. Where there is the will, there is also the deed, and only this frees man from all evil....

Amen
