So simple did it appear that by virtue of its very simplicity it was bound to become the most difficult
thing for him to recognize. And in time it proved impossible for him to fulfill this. So today man faces
ruin, psychological breakdown, which must demolish everything he has built up!
Only one thing can save him: complete knowledge of the Divine Laws in Creation. This alone will
help him onward and upward again, and with him all that he will attempt to build up in the future.
Do not argue that, being human spirits, you cannot so easily recognize the Laws in Creation, and that
it is difficult to distinguish between the truth and fallacy. That is not so! Whoever says this is either once
more trying to conceal his indolence and to hide the indifference of his soul, or he is making excuses to
reassure himself.
But it is of no use; for all those who are indifferent or indolent will now be rejected! Only he who
musters all his strength and devotes it completely to achieve what is most indispensable for his soul has
any prospect of being saved. All half measures count for nothing. Every hesitation, every postponement,
is the same as complete neglect. Man has no more time left because he has already waited until the limit
of his allotted period.
This time, naturally, it will not be made so easy for man, and it will not be easy for him, since
through the most careless negligence in these matters he robbed himself of any capacity to even believe in
the profound seriousness of a necessary final decision! And it is exactly this point which is his greatest
weakness, which will inevitably cause the downfall of many!
For thousands of years much has been done to enlighten you about God's Will or the working of the
Laws in Creation, at least to the extent of what you need to know in order to ascend and find your way
back to the Original Creation whence you came! This was not achieved through the so-called earthly
sciences, nor through the churches, but through the servants of God, the prophets of old, and later through
the Message brought by the Son of God Himself. Although this Message was given to you quite simply,
so far you have only talked about it, but never seriously troubled yourselves to understand it aright, still
less to live in accordance with it! In your indolent opinion this was asking far too much of you, even
though it is your only salvation! You wish to be saved without exerting yourselves in any way! If you
reflect upon this you must surely come to this sad recognition.
You turned every Divine Message into a religion! For your own convenience! And that was wrong!
For you placed religion upon a special pedestal, removed from everyday life! That was the greatest
mistake you could have made; for in so doing you also removed God’s Will from your daily life or, what
amounts to the same thing, you removed yourself from God’s Will, instead of uniting with It and making
It the center of your daily life and activity! And becoming one with It! You must absorb every message
from God quite naturally and incorporate It in a practical manner into your work, your thoughts and your
whole life! You must not set it apart by itself, as you have done; only paying it a visit in your leisure
hours! In order to indulge for a short time in contrition, gratitude or for relaxation. As a result it never
became something natural, a part of you, like hunger or sleep.
Understand this aright at last: You are to live within this Will of God so that you may find your way
on all the paths which bring you benefit! God’s Messages are but precious hints which you need, and
without that knowledge and obediance to it you are lost! Therefore you must not place them in a glass
shrine, to gaze upon them as something sacred, with blissful thrill only on Sundays, or to retreat there in
times of distress and fear in order to receive strength! You wretched ones, you are not to venerate the
Message, but to make use of It! You must grasp It wholeheartedly, not only when you are in Sunday
attire, but with fists hardened by daily toil, which never disgraces or debases, but only honors anyone! A
precious gem shines with greater purity and brilliance in a calloused hand soiled with sweat and dirt, than
in the manicured hands of a lazy idler who spends his time on earth only in contemplations!
Every Divine Message was to be imparted to you, i.e. become a part of you! You must try to grasp its
meaning aright!
You should not have looked upon it as something separate, something remaining outside yourselves,
which you made it a habit to approach with timid reserve. Absorb the Word of God so that each one of
you may know how he must live and proceed in order to attain to the Kingdom of God!
Therefore, awake at last! Become acquainted with the Laws in Creation. Worldly cleverness will not
help you in this matter, nor will the little knowledge you have gained from technical observation, something so meager will not suffice for the path your soul must take! You must lift your gaze far beyond
this earth and recognize where your path leads after this earthly life, so that at the same time you may
become aware of why and for what purpose you are here on earth. And whatever your circumstances are
in this life, whether rich or poor, healthy or ill, at peace or in conflict, in joy or in sorrow, you will learn
to recognize their cause and purpose. You will become joyful and light, grateful for the experiences
which have come your way. You will learn to value every second as precious and, above all, learn to use
it! Use it for your ascent to joyful existence, to great pure happiness!
Because you so badly entangled and confused yourselves, and after the warnings of the prophets had
remained unheeded, the Divine Message was brought to you by the Son of God as a means of salvation.
The Divine Message showed the way, the only way, to save you from the swamp which already
threatened to smother you! The Son of God sought to lead you on this path by way of parables! Although
those who wanted to believe and who were seekers listened with their ears, they penetrated no further.
They never tried to live in accordance with them.
For you too religion and daily life have always remained two separate things. You always stood
beside it, instead of in it! The workings of the Laws of Creation explained in the parables remained not
understood by you at all because you did not seek them there!
And now, through the Grail Message, the same explanation of the laws comes to you once again in a
form more easily understandable to you at the present time! In reality they are precisely the same as those
Christ already brought in the form suitable for that time. He showed men how they should think, speak
and act so that they could mature spiritually and advance upwards in Creation! Humanity needed no more
than that. There is not a single gap in the Message given at that time. The Grail Message now brings the
same thing, only in present-day form.
He who at last adapts himself to It in his thoughts, words, and deeds thus practices the purest
worship of God; which lies in deeds alone!
He who willingly submits himself to these laws will always do the right thing! In so doing he proves
his veneration for the wisdom of God and joyfully submits to His Will expressed in His Laws. Its effects
will then further and protect him, and he will be freed from all sorrow and will be uplifted into the realm
of the Luminous Spirit. There, in jubilant experiencing, the Omniscience of God will become visible,
undimmed, to everyone and life itself is worship of God! There, every breath, every intuitive perception,
every action is borne of joyous gratitude and thus becomes permanent delight, delight born of happiness;
it sows happiness, and therefore reaps happiness! The worship of God in your life and in your experiences
consists solely of obeying the Divine Laws. This alone ensures happiness. So shall it be in the coming
Kingdom, in the Kingdom of the Millennium, which will be called the Kingdom of God on earth! Thus
all adherents to the Grail Message are to become as beacons and guideposts among mankind.
He, who cannot or will not do so, has not grasped the Message once again. Service to the Grail is to
be genuine, living worship of God. Worship is the first service to God which does not consist of outward
things, does not only show outwardly, but lives in every human being even in his most private hours and
is evidenced in his thinking and in his actions as a matter of course.
He who does not profess to this voluntarily will not experience the approaching time of the Kingdom
of God, but he will be destroyed or forced to unconditional submission by Divine power and with earthly
force! For the benefit of all of mankind which is blessed by Grace to finally find peace and happiness in
that Kingdom!
