At last he said: "God, from now on, I will serve Thee well and will not act unrighteously in this world." Therefore, we struggle and fight, in order to attain better thoughts and create in our minds the right thought. Some people ask: "Why must we study?" In order to come to know God. "Why must we be good?" In order to come to know God. "Why must we love and seek the Truth?" In order to know God. The most essential and most real thing, which we must aspire toward during our present life, is to know the forms of God's thought. God can help everyone who knows the forms of his thought. The prophet says: "The Spirit of the Lord is over me." I would interpret this verse like this: "The forms of God's thought are in me. I know the laws of the objective thought of God." Therefore, when one comes into a real contact with the thought of God, he will feel this contact. I have often given to those of you who are ill, certain instructions. To those who feel physically weak, I have said: Go to some old, but healthy oak tree, and stand with your back on it. Rest in this position 5-10-15 minutes, half an hour at the most, and say to the tree: "Since you are full of the thoughts and forms of God, be so good and give me some of your energy." The oak tree will unburden you of some of your inharmonious energies, you will feel calm, with restored strength and will return home with a light and happy heart. This shows that the oak tree has given you something Divine. In case you are very nervous or irritated, pour a pail of fresh, pure water over yourself. This act will relieve your head from many unnecessary elements and a Divine thought will enter into your mind. |
