If
we use our creative thinking and our creative energy for good purposes,
then the world will go up and up and up, in all kinds of developments
and all kinds of benefits. If we use them in a lower way, then we
also create a very, very big kind of negative force that can destroy
humankind or the planet. That's why we have a lot of atom bombs
and wars that kill millions of people, a lot of very terrible chemical
and germ warfare weapons, which also create a lot of suffering for
humankind and other living beings as a whole. Some human beings
prefer to use their genius in that way. It's a pity, but the world
is like this.
So
it's not that we come here and try to expect that everyone becomes
as good as God, or an angel, or ourselves. But our purpose is to
show how good we are. That's all and nothing else in return. That's
our duty. We always have to show how good we are; that's it, not
to wait for other people to show how good they are. Whatever they
are, they are. To fulfill our purpose, our duty, and for our own
good, we always have to show that we are good. That's the part that
we must develop. And that's the only choice we have if we want to
go back to the Kingdom of God and be God-like, or return to be one
with God. If that's our purpose, we must always be good, be noble
and disregard how other people choose to represent themselves at
any moment in our lives, or our encounters.
Now
you understand why the world is like this, because of the choices
that people have made and the choices that we made in our past lives,
too. Some of the choices we didn't make, by being indecisive, also
caused trouble. If we see something good, and we have the urge inside
to change, and we don't do it, that also creates bad karma. We also
have to partake in the consequences of that, of our indecisiveness,
of our weakness, when we see good things, we see the things that
we should defend, that we should change, and we don't, or we did
not. So it's not only our actions that bring consequences. Our inaction
also brings consequences. Anything in this world, whatever you think,
wherever you walk, you breathe, you turn around, you talk, everything
brings some result, bad or good, depending on how you think, how
you react, or how you talk.
So
we have to always be good, think good thoughts, and speak good words,
so that the consequences in the future will be good, or at least
less bad or neutral. That's why we always have to recite the Holy
Names. They sort of remind ourselves of these holy and higher qualities
of creation, until we become one with God or go back to the master's
house. We need to be masters of ourselves. That is the place where
we can feel eternal happiness. Because we already know ourselves
for what we are, we have no need to make trouble and create bad
things again. When we have finished our journey, our realization,
finished the experimenting process, then we become masters. Then
we know everything.
