Zapoved Ljubezni do bližnjega zajema vse zahteve, ki so postavljene ljudem. Vendar pa je Ljubezen do Boga pogojena z Ljubeznijo do bližnjega. Tako bo človek popolnoma izpolnil svojo nalogo na Zemlji, če raste v Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega ter svoje življenje gradi na tem temelju. Kjer srce lahko osrečuje, tam je sovražnik (Satan) izgubil moč; Ljubezen je namreč Božanskega porekla, osrečuje in oživlja, medtem ko sovražnikova sila poizkuša uničiti tisto, kar gradi Ljubezen. Vendar pa bo nesebična Ljubezen do bližnjega vedno (po)skrbela edino za njegovo dobro; nikoli ne bo niti najmanj delovala njemu na škodo (Rimljanom 13:10), ker to resnično ne bi bila prava Ljubezen, če bi od tam (iz nje) izvirala izguba za človeka. Torej namen Božanskega Stvarnika je ravno tako lahko edino v služenju v Ljubezni imeti odnos do Desetih Zapovedi, katere je Gospodar dal ljudem oz. do podrobnejše razlage posameznih zapovedi, katera pa je zopet vsaka zase v skladu z zahtevo, da se ljubi bližnjega kakor samega sebe; in zato, gledano v celoti, imajo vedno edino za temelj to, da se v Ljubezni združijo vsi, ki so istega Duha, ali da se Ljubezen, ki je v ljudeh postala močna, manifestira ravno na način, da človek želi bližnjemu vse več dati, in to brez želje, da prejme celo najmanjšo korist zase. Ker čim v nekomu prevaga interes, celo če je v temu že najmanjša korist, vsako delo Ljubezni do bližnjega ostane le neka vrsta poslovne pogodbe. Vendar pa to ni nikoli to, kar je nebeški Oče poučeval v zapovedi Ljubezni do bližnjega, ampak je v vsaki računici temelj lastna lakomnost; in le v maloštevilnih primerih bo aktivna Ljubezen do bližnjega prakticirana v Božjem smislu tam, kjer je človek vedno pripravljen edino dajati, toda nikoli ne želi vzeti ali posedovati.
AMEN
PrevajalciThe commandment of love for one's neighbour encompasses all demands made on people, and love for God is again conditioned by love for one's neighbour. Thus the human being on earth will completely fulfil his task if he is absorbed in love for God and his neighbour and builds his life on this basis. Where the heart can make happy in love, there the enemy has lost power, for love is of divine origin, it makes happy and enlivens, whereas the enemy's power seeks to destroy what love builds up. Yet unselfish love for one's neighbour will only ever take care of his well-being but never do the slightest thing to harm him, for this would truly not be true love if it resulted in disadvantage for the human being. Therefore, it can only be in the spirit of the divine creator to take a stand in the service of neighbourly love on the ten commandments which the lord has given to human beings, namely for a more detailed explanation of the individual commandments which, in turn, each correspond to the demand to love one's neighbour as oneself and thus, in summary, are always based on unselfish love for one's neighbour. The spiritually equal attitude can also result in all who are of the same spirit uniting in love, or that the love which has become strong in the human being expresses itself precisely in such a way that the human being wants to give to his fellow human being again and again, and that without wanting to achieve the slightest advantage for himself, for as soon as the interest in an advantage, no matter how small, is predominant, every work of love for the neighbour remains a kind of speculation but is never what was taught to people by the heavenly father in the commandment of neighbourly love, instead, all calculation is only based on one's own desire for gain, and only in those few cases is active neighbourly love practiced in the spirit of God where the human being is only ever willing to give but never wants to take or possess....
Amen
