Certain movements:
One of the causes of people's sufferings is the absence of punctuality. Nature loves punctuality. She punishes everyone who is not punctual in their actions. Still many think they can live as they want and speak what they want. It's not like that. He who wants to suffer, he can live as he finds it well. He who wants to suffer, he can speak whatever comes to his mouth. However, he who does not want to suffer, he must live according to the reasonable laws of Nature and speak only that which is essential. The Sun has a certain path of movement. The Earth has a certain path of movement and an exactly determined speed. Plants are developed by severely determined laws, in Nature there is a prudent regularity to which everything is subjected. Therefore, as a reasonable creature, man must keep the laws of Nature. However free he may be, he cannot go outside the laws of Nature. Freedom implies a reasonable limitation. While on Earth, man must be limited. In Heaven the law is inverse. On Earth, to be absolutely free, so that it does not respect any laws, man must become evil. In heaven, for him to be absolutely free, man must be good. On Earth, good people are limited and bad people are free. In Heaven it is the exact opposite: the good are free and the bad are limited. Love frees man. He who lives according to the laws of Love, he is completely free. If he lives in love, he is limited. Therefore, the human being can live on Earth and be free. This depends on the laws it serves. He can be in Heaven and still be limited.
Man carries Heaven and Earth within himself. Heaven understands the law of Love, and Earth - the law of heartbreak -.
When we talk about punctuality, we understand the measures with which Nature serves. From the human point of view, if anyone has reached a certain place one or two seconds later, this is not a delay. However, from the point of view of Nature, it has taken a long time. If you measure things with the measure of light, for 2 seconds, she has traveled immense distances and man has fallen far behind. If a reasonable creature moves with the speed of light and it takes you only 5 seconds, this creature is already a great distance from you. Any effort you make can no longer reach him. Here is why, in your behaviors with people, you must take into account the speed of their movement. If you have behaviors with a creature that moves with the speed of an ox cart, you can take an hour. However, if you have behaviors with a creature that moves at the speed of light, you must be punctual until the second. You will say that you know these things, that you know what punctuality is. It is not enough for man to know only, but he must apply things. In the first grade, the child knows all the letters, but if you give him a book that is outside his study box, he cannot spell it, nor can it form words, or complete sentences. In this aspect, human thoughts and feelings represent elements, the alphabet of the good life, of the reasonable life. Man must know the elements of this life so that he knows how to combine them correctly, to live well.
What does the good life represent? The good life does not reside only in one or two good acts, but is a conscious behavior of the part towards the All. While thinking how he should act with people, man cannot improve his life. Once he begins to think about how his behavior towards the All should be, man is on the way to improving his life. Personal life is not a behavior of the part towards the All. The life of the mind and the heart are not behaviors of the part towards the All. However, if man connects the life of his personality, his mind, his heart, his soul and his spirit in a whole, he already has correct behaviors towards the All. The life of the personality is one thing, but that of the soul and the spirit - something else. Few people have a clear picture about the soul and the spirit, but even so, they often use the phrase: `` My soul hurts. '' They imagine the soul. similar to the body and just as the body suffers, so the soul suffers as well. This is as true as the thought that the good man on Earth is bad in Heaven, and that the bad man on Earth is good in Heaven. Taken in the literal sense, this phrase introduces a contradiction in man. However, by spirit and by sense, it is true. This means: he who has lived only for himself and for the people, to please them, has been good for them. If he goes to Heaven, among the reasonable creatures that live for the All, he goes through a bad man. The part must live for the All, and the All for the parts.
When you study people's lives, you see that they set distant and close goals to achieve. However, what things are essential and what are not, this depends on the time, the moment and the conditions. For example, during winter weather, the stove burning in the room is an essential thing. However, in summer time, when the sun shines brightly, when the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, the burning stove is not an essential thing. So, everything done in its place and in its time is essential. If it is not done on your site, she is not essential. Actually, essential things are those that are necessary to man, in every time and place. When we look at things as essential and non-essential, we reach their absolute and relative state. We say: absolute and relative moral, absolute and relative knowledge, absolute and relative freedom, etc.
When we talk about relative morals, we mean the morals of ordinary people. This moral limits and stains people. Every thing, with which the ordinary man uses himself, is stained. And every thing with which the saint is served, is similar to a pure currency. For example, if 20 people join together, the number 20 is already stained. If 20 saints unite in one place, the number 20 is pure, sacred. What is the distinctive quality of the saint? The freedom you have within yourself. Despite the great freedom he has gained, once he arrives on Earth, the saint is limited. A more limited man on Earth than the saint does not exist. Just as the father, the mother and the master are not free, so the saint is not free either. Frequently the servant is freer than the master. In general, the greater the obligations of a given man, the greater his responsibilities. If your responsibilities are great, along with this your limitations are great too. If it is not reasonable, in every moment man can stain his life. With what With his bad thoughts and feelings. If he is prudent, with his good thoughts and feelings he can elevate, purify his life. The slightest act can stain or elevate the life of man. As you know this, he at every moment faces one of the two situations. He lives unconsciously, but the unconscious life is not true. The clothes with which you dress do not represent true life. The money in which you trust does not represent the essence of life. As much as you keep this money, at the end of the day he will cause you harm and misery. Bandits and thieves are going to attack you for this money and for a long time after this you will take the wounds that they have caused you.
Why does man have to suffer? For man to suffer, there is always some cause. If man is aware of this or not, this is another matter. However, it is a fact that for man to suffer there are a number of causes. If a bear finds you in the forest and spits you out, there are also causes for that. The bear spits the man only in one case - when she has bears -. When he feels that someone passes by his burrow, she immediately goes out against him and spits it out. With this, she wants to turn her attention that as a prudent man he should know that she has children and that she does not disturb her tranquility. Who of ordinary men does not act like the bear? Try only to say a bad word to your friend about his beloved and see how he will lie on you and start spitting at you. His beloved is the bear he feeds. Today, both the bear and the bear fear from other people's eyes. Once the bear grows and becomes a big bear, nobody else will fear. As you know this, do not stray from your path to scare little bears, or to speak bad words about your friend's beloved.
Now, as you reflect on this example, you will see that this occurs everywhere in life. Everywhere you listen to what has been said and spoken, and at the end of the day you scare the bear out of a bear, so she begins to spit on you. For their own justification, people say that their interests impose them to act in one way or another. If you act straight or wrong, the results will show. If you apply a virtue of yours not in its place, you will profane yourself and your virtue. If you use your vice for good, you will rise to yourself and your vice. For example, you enter the house of a millionaire and take from his box one hundred thousand cams. After this you find a young and capable boy who is going to commit suicide, because he has a strong desire to study, but he has no resources. You immediately give him one hundred thousand cams and send him abroad to study. You will say that this is not moral. It is preferable that one hundred thousand cams disappear from a rich man's box, before a life is lost. The rich man is a cashier of God. God has allowed the thief to take one hundred thousand cams from the rich man's box and give to the poor but capable man, who had a strong desire to study. One day this money will again enter the rich man's box. This in no way gives man the right to steal. For every thing he does, good or bad, the human being responds. Whatever he does, he must think about the results. Think of the consequences of your events without fear. Sometimes the consequences can be so great that they will break the spine of man.
What is the cause for the man's spine to break? Imagine that someone is building a strong and solid house. The slab that separates the first floor from the second, is placed on strong metal columns (props - n. Of tr.). Relying on their strength, he puts on them a lot of material that is increasing every day. Truly, the columns are strong, but it is determined how much weight they can bear. If your endurance is not taken into account, one day the house owner will find himself in front of a surprise: the second floor collapses. Such mistakes make all contemporary people. Since they do not know their forces, as they do not know the resistance of their column, they are loaded with ideas that surpass their forces, as a result of which one day they are destroyed.
Nature does not love accumulations. Ideas are movable and must be put to work. How much capital is needed to man? To work, man needs little capital, that is, few ideas. He who has knowledge, this can work with a small capital. He who has no knowledge, he works with a large capital. The strong can carry large loads and the weak - small. The strong is more prudent than the weak. However, according to human morals, it is foolish for man to manifest his strength so that he will not be put to work. According to him it is better for man to be weak rather than strong. - Not so, in Heaven, strong people are prudent and weak people - fools. In Heaven strong people are bad and on Earth strong people are good. Apparently these are contradictory thoughts. A strong man is one who possesses not only physical strength but also virtues. A weak man, then, is one who lacks virtues. Can you love a man who weighs five or ten thousand kilos? However, if it weighs 50 - 60 kilos, you will love it. The elephant can carry whole tons of cargo, and the man who weighs just 50 - 60 kg cannot lift a beam on his shoulder. Still, you love this weak and small man. Virtues has that man, as a result of which, in the most difficult moments of his life, you trust him.
These are symbols that must be translated in life. These are truths to which the inner sense must be understood. When I talk about the elephant, I mean how strong in life. The strong seeks towards the weak and the weak - towards the strong. So it is in ordinary life. You will say that God loves weak creatures. This is what God does, man cannot do it. God has two specific qualities that distinguish Him from all living creatures. These qualities represent two unknowns that you must find yourself. When you study the man who has left God, you see that he wants to be great, scientific, strong, rich. No man wants to be small, weak, poor or ignorant. It is good that the man is strong, but not too much. The large force hardens the muscles. The big weakness, as well as the big weakness, represent a porridge (porridge) or mud in which nothing can grow. Then, life does not manifest itself in the great dryness, nor in the great humidity. By drought the plants are dried and by the great humidity they rot. Life can manifest itself only where dryness and humidity touch. When they touch each other a correct exchange occurs. Where the exchange is right there is always growth.
What will you understand from the phrase ?: Warm up in the fire, but don't put it out! Don't turn off what doesn't go off! That you put out the fire this means that you put out your life. If you reach the water you will know that the water does not have to be hindered (that is, that the man does not try to stop it - n. Of t.) Do not obstruct the water, let it flow freely. Water represents life. In this sense life should not be hindered. When you find yourself in front of life, you can drink from it, but in no way do you put dikes. As far as the earth is concerned, I say: Walk the Earth without trampling it. If you trample the earth you will raise dust. If you trample the earth you will crush all the herbs, flowers and plants, and your life will become a desert. Therefore, as you have come to Earth, walk through it without trampling in the same place. For the air, then, I say: Let the air in and out of your lungs freely, without obstructing it.
You say: Man must serve God. How are you going to serve him when you don't know what He wants from you? If you go to an outstanding music teacher to serve you, you must know how to sing or play. If you have no voice, if you cannot play any instrument, he will cast you out. The musician can only serve good and capable students. Therefore, in order to serve God, man must be capable and talented. If he is not able, he can achieve nothing. And the king's son represents nothing but is talented and if he does not work to develop his gifts. You will serve the musician only if you are capable. You will serve the painter only if you know how to paint.
Contemporary man has come to a mechanical understanding of life. You meet young people who say they have to live a little. That they live as they understand, this means that they spend their forces in vain and that they age early. Once they get older, death will take them. After this, they will be buried in the earth, where they will wait thousands of years until favorable times come for them. When the dead man's body rots and decomposes completely, he begins to remove it, particle by particle, starts counting by how many particles each organ has been composed. When he takes it away from his grave, when he finishes counting the particles that compose it, he thinks he has great knowledge. What does man take advantage of this knowledge? As soon as you finish counting the particles that make up your eye, a man comes to you and asks you to sell him these particles, because he has decided to descend to Earth and needs the corresponding material for the construction of his eye. You sell the particles from which his eye was made and in return you receive a certain sum. Instead of the particles in his eye, you start counting money, putting it from side to side, but you see that in the spiritual world money is worthless. Thus you begin to distinguish the essential from the non-essential, and you make a precept of it. Essential things are these that never lose their price and can be used wisely at all times.
So, singing is an essential thing, but when accompanied with thoughts. If he can sing the tone "do", when surrounded by serious thinking, man has understood the strength and meaning of this tone. When one of the fellows in a home dies, nobody sings. However, if a child is born in this home, everyone sings and enjoys. The mother takes her son in her hands, claps him and sings. Why? She has some important thinking. She begins to think about the future of the child, how it will grow, how to study, how to become a big man. The mother's song is not classical, nor is it modern, but through it she expresses her ideal, the mother sings purely, selflessly, while she has not left the stage. Each singer who goes on stage hides some interest in himself. She sings, either for money, or for some man. Frequently the singer searches the public for her beloved. She already sings just for him, because it is he who knows her best and understands her. In this the singer does not sing all her songs in front of the public. There are songs that she retains only for her beloved. This singer has an idea. As she has an idea she sings excellently, without any rules. His voice sounds soft, naturally, without any obligation.
What does the idyllic life represent? The idyllic life implies a life of inner content, true creativity and edification. Many people have reached the position of building every day and tearing down the building, as a result of which they face great disappointments. When they get to these disappointments, they look for someone who tells them the truth, who tells them the right direction of life. These people are right. Someone always has to come to tell them the truth and indicate the right direction. However, they do not wonder if they are ready to understand the truth, if they are ready to take the straight path that he can point to. The one who created the world, he has pointed out the straight path of the people, has discovered the truth to them, but even so, in the world there is great disharmony. Disarmament in the world is due to people. If this disharmony disappears, people will find the right path and understand the truth. Once on Earth, man has to work. When he works, he will still improve his position, both materially and spiritually. Some are sitting without work and wondering what to do. As he has lost his job, he must be ready for everything. Whatever job you are offered, he has to accept it. Imagine that a painter passes by an unemployed person and offers to pose. Do you have to refuse this offer? As little as he is paid, he must accept the offer. If for four times he receives from 2 5 thousand cams, he must be happy. And the painter, on the other hand, has to be generous, because there is a possibility that his painting will be bought by some rich man. The more generously the human being opens his heart to small, weak and helpless creatures, the more he will be given to him as well. Such a thing represent new ideas. However small the new idea may be, once man accepts it in itself, she begins to grow and increase. If he does not look at life in this way, the human being is in front of a total loss of the meaning of things.
And so, the human being must seek the essential, but also do not ignore the non-essential. Many consider some things as non-essential and think that you can without them too. For example, they say that clothing, eating, studying, music, are not essential things and that man does not have to dwell on them for a long time. They say that man should dress as he likes, that he eat what he finds, that he studies little, so that he is not totally illiterate. Actually it is not like that, the human being must dress clean, beautiful, without making the dress a cult in his life. He must use pure and healthy food, without spending all his time and strength just to eat. As far as study is concerned, the human being has to study, to enlighten his mind and heart. Clothing, food and study are common needs for all humanity, although all people dress, eat and study in different ways. In these processes there is something specific for each human being. In eating, for example, there is an absolute law that must be fully guarded. If man does not keep this law, Nature will not give him the necessary amount of food. He can eat a lot without taking advantage of the food received. Nature loves steadfastness in man. Constants, working people, she easily finds work. For them, it even creates special jobs. And the inconstant gives work, but a job that is not to your liking. In this way she forces them to work hard, so that they develop constancy within themselves. And the worm is forced to work. He does not do this out of love, willingly, but out of obligation. Each man can fall under the limited conditions of the worm, the mole, the donkey and many other animals, without being able to get out of these conditions. In order for man to be released from the limitations of life, a strong, good and reasonable creature must come to his aid.
A prince of antiquity, lived a bad, licentious life, as a result of which after his death, he could not continue the work that was determined, and his soul should roam the Earth, entering, or in some drunk man and fallen, or, in some animal. One day he entered a donkey that frequently carried firewood for his master. So it happened that one of the courtiers of the palace where he once lived, bought firewood in the market and should transport it with the same donkey in which the prince frequently took refuge. When he reached the door of the palace, the donkey stopped and did not want to take a step forward. His master beat him, but he did not move from his place. At this time a dervish passed (the dervishes are members of a Muslim brotherhood who live an exclusively ascetic and poor life - n. Of t.) Who stopped in front of the donkey and began to observe what is going to happen to him. When he saw that the donkey was not moving from his place, he understood the cause of his stubbornness. The dervish approached the donkey and silently whispered: "Enter inside, nobody knows you." When he heard these words, the donkey entered the palace where he was unloaded. Then, the prince who was on the donkey, did not want to enter the palace so that his neighbors would not recognize him.
Therefore, until he exceeds the limited conditions of life, man will inevitably go through states similar to these, in which animals are also found. Each animal form is nothing else, but a mathematical task that must be solved correctly. That is why they say that as long as it does not become fair, man cannot deserve his name. Every contradiction in life must be solved correctly. Every Divine idea, which has entered the mind of man, has to be realized and bear fruit. If he does not accept it, understand and perform, man comes to an indifference, to a weariness. It is not enough that the human being only says that he must be good, but that he must apply his goodness. If he only speaks of good, without applying it, man enters into the mechanical processes of life. If good enters the human being in a mechanical way, its rings are cut. If the rings of things are cut, along with this the unity in life is broken as well.
And so, if you want to develop correctly, use prudently even the smallest thing that is given to you. Move to the smallest capital that is given to you. For very small gifts and abilities that you have, put them to work for the building of your great future. If anyone says that he is not endowed by Nature, this shows that he has not put his gift to work, or that he has not applied it to his site. Whatever he does, man cannot change the Divine order of things. No one can force the water to flow up, no one can walk with their hands and do the work of the hands with their feet. This, what hands do, feet in no way can do it. This, what the eyes see, the feet can never see. Each organ exercises a specific job that the other organs cannot do. Therefore, the same refers to man as well. Each man is given a specific job in the macrocosm, which only he can do. If any of you represents a hair from the head of the cosmic man, he must know that a great duty is given to him. Someone considers it as an offense to be a hair and be forced to fulfill the predestination of the hair. The one who understands, he knows that the hair service is great. Each service, no matter how small, if it is done properly, he is serious. Much is that man is a hair of the head of the cosmic man. - Why? - Great thing is the cosmic man. Therefore, be happy with the service given to you. It is enough that you are in service around the cosmic man, and what will be your service, this is not important.
Now, from cosmic man we will descend to Earth, where each man's work is required. As he has come to Earth, man must work. Write on the subject: "Why does man have to live?" Someone is learning to play the violin and wonders why he has to play. So it happens that this man decays in his life, stays hungry, barefoot and wonders what to do, how to earn his food. When he spends a few days hungry, finally, it comes to his mind to take his violin and play from house to house. Now he understands why Nature has given him this gift. Through his art of playing, he earns his food. The painter, then, earns his food through his brush. The musician complains that he is tired of playing. The painter complains that he is tired of painting. Rejoice in art and the gift that is given to you, because a second time it will not be given to you. In Nature there is no uniformity. If in one life you are philosophers, in the next you will be musicians, poets, painters, etc.
Some doubt reincarnation and do not want to accept it. If they believe in this that is spoken to, they will also be believed. What you think of people, this they will think of you too. Keep in your mind the thought that everything that happens to you is for good. This does not mean that evil does not exist in the world, but think of good so that you attract it to you. When good enters you, evil immediately goes out. Then, each one for himself can attract good and repel evil. As regards evil outside of man or within himself, you must know that each responds to himself. Therefore, each one has the right to recognize and accept the good within himself, and reject the evil and cast it out. When you think this way, you will attract good to yourself. What man thinks, this happens. If he thinks that Divine things do not happen properly, man judges himself. If you want to grow and develop correctly, never allow similar thoughts in your mind.
Since they do not understand the laws of Nature, people quickly pronounce themselves on things and thus make mistakes. When they hear someone speak quickly, loudly or nervously, they immediately begin to tell that he is an irritable, nervous or bad man. Whether the man speaks loudly or shortly, this depends on his ear. That you listen with disposition or indisposition, this depends on your feelings towards him. One thing is required of man: that he speak the truth. When someone preaches the truth, he cannot speak badly. This man exposes the facts as they are, without stopping on the way in which he exposes them. - Ha, but it introduced contradiction in people's minds -. This, which does not agree with life on Earth, agrees with life on Heaven. This, what people call folly, angels call it wisdom. This, what people consider illogical, in Heaven they accept as sensible and reasonable. A speech, of which people are astonished, the angels pay no attention to it. Someone makes the effort to speak eloquently. If he makes an effort, his speech is ordinary. Does water strain to flow? Es suficiente que abráis el grifo del lavabo y el agua empieza a fluir abundantemente, sin tener en cuenta la cantidad que derrama hacia afuera. Ella sabe que otro se interesa de esto y no se mete en su trabajo. Mientras tenga un deseo de meterse en los trabajos del Grande, el hombre siempre será pegado. El quiere ocupar una posición alta, llegar a ser un amo. Sin embargo, si le ponen como amo, él sufrirá las consecuencias del engaño en el cual ha caído. Después de la gran paliza, él se acostará enfermo y le cantarán la canción: “Nueve años está acostado enfermo.” – ¿Por qué está acostado enfermo nueve años? – Por asuntos de amor.
Bajo la palabra “asuntos de amor” sobreentendemos cosas materiales y no los comportamientos verdaderos entre los jóvenes. El amor de los jóvenes es una manifestación absolutamente espiritual. El amor no tiene nada que ver con el mundo físico. Un amor del cual toda la gente se entera, no es un amor verdadero. Tal es el amor de todos los mamíferos, aves, insectos, etc. Y ellos se enfadan, se ofenden, flirtean. Un amor, que descansa sobre intereses materiales, es un negocio mercantil. Así les gusta a todos los negociantes. El amor verdadero no se expresa ni con sonrisas, ni con palabras dulces. Él no tiene un carácter material. El Amor introduce vida y fuerza en el hombre. Una mirada del Amor es capaz de levantar al enfermo de su lecho y resucitar al muerto. Cuando fue al sepulcro de Lázaro, Cristo levantó sus ojos hacia arriba, dirigió su mirada amorosa primero hacia Dios, y luego hacia Lázaro y dijo: “¡Lázaro, sal fuera!” Cuando oyó la voz del Cristo, Lázaro inmediatamente salió del sepulcro. Solo aquel que ama y al que le aman, puede hacer resucitar. Si no tiene amor dentro de s, el hombre no puede hacer nada. Solo el que ama puede hacer regresar al hombre ca do del camino malo y dirigirlo hacia Dios. Qui n no desear a recibir la mirada amorosa de tal hombre?
Y as, la mirada del amor es una expresi n del inicio Divino en el hombre, que no muta ni cambia. Cualquier cosa que se hable, lo Divino no se mancha. Si se tira alg n tipo de barro sobre l, ello f cilmente se lava. Sobre l no se puede mantener nada impuro. No hay fuerza en el mundo que sea capaz de manchar lo Divino en el hombre.
