Not only listeners, but doers of the word ....

Spiritual strivers must make an effort to live a way of life that corresponds to God's will, because this alone brings success and guarantees the human being spiritual ascent. Anyone who only mentally tries to reach the goal and does not turn his thoughts into deeds will remain at a standstill in his development. For only the deed proves his will to ascend, to God. And therefore only a person who lives according to God's will can mature in knowledge .... who is not only a listener but also a doer of His Word, which informs him of divine will. His knowledge can only increase and become true knowledge if he makes use of the knowledge he has already received, i.e. if he follows the divine Word and lovingly works on his neighbour, be it spiritually or earthly .... if he tries to alleviate his neighbour's hardship in order to comply with divine will.

He can only reach God through love, which he demonstrates to God by working with love on his neighbour. Only this path leads him to the goal. The heart must drive him to carry out what is first conveyed to him intellectually through the offering of the divine Word. If the human being is not active then he can constantly absorb knowledge intellectually, it does not promote his spiritual development but remains dead spiritual knowledge because it is not utilised accordingly.

And that is why living according to God's will is the first condition to mature spiritually, for knowledge will then increase even if the human being does not try to penetrate it intellectually. For through loving activity the human being's heart opens itself to the influx of God's strength of love, and this promotes his knowledge .... by guiding his thoughts correctly and thus he takes possession of the truth by himself, by it being given to him even without brooding and researching about things which lie outside of human knowledge.

A righteous and pleasing way of life before God also earns him the power of knowledge to distinguish truth from error, and therefore a loving person will never walk in error because he is in contact with God through love and God will never be where error is, thus God's presence excludes all error or ignorance. The human being's feeling will always be turned towards truth, even if the intellect is not exceptionally active, for the right knowledge is the result of love but cannot be achieved through human intellect.

But if a loving person also uses his intellect then he can achieve abundant success by penetrating deepest knowledge, divine wisdom, but then for the purpose of imparting it to his fellow human beings, for divine gift shall be utilised. And again, this gift will be recognised and understood by people who live in love, thus who fulfil God's commandments, His will made known to people, who receive the Word of God and let it take effect in their hearts ...., who are not only listeners but doers of the divine Word ....

Amen
