THE NEW LAW

 

Contemplation

 

Today, everyone wants to be physically healthy. They say: a sound mind in а sound body. Physical health is conditioned by two elements: air and food. Consequently, if he breathes properly and if he feeds himself properly, man will be healthy. The breathing and the feeding are two processes that exist also in the spiritual world. The internal or the spiritual side of breathing is the rightful thinking. The internal, the spiritual side of the feeding is the proper feeling. So, between the breathing and thinking, as between the feeding and feeling, close internal relations exists. If breathing is not accompanied by internal thinking, and if feeding is not accompanied by an internal feeling, this means that these two processes are not properly used. But if man relates breathing with the strivings of his mind, and feeding – with the strivings of his heart, then both processes will be properly brought into effect and with good results. Then we can say, that each man, who, on one side, breathes and thinks properly, and on another side - eats and feels properly, is physically and mentally healthy.

 

In order to avoid illnesses and suffering, people look for the reasons that cause them. They know that if they remove the causes, suffering will disappear. Two reasons cause illnesses and suffering: one of them is physical – improper breathing and feeding; the other one is mental – improper thinking and feeling. Eating is related to the heart and the heart is related to the soul. Breathing is related to the mind and the mind is related to the Spirit. Consequently, that life is harmonious, in which man has managed to properly relate the processes of breathing and eating as regards the forces of the soul and Spirit. In order to acquire this harmony, a man has to get in touch with those people, whose minds and hearts are healthy. He should observe the breathing and the eating of the healthy – not of the sick man. He should observe in what way the thoughts and the feelings of the healthy – not of the sick - men manifest themselves. Serve the sick man, but do not associate with him. What would you gain if you study an empty purse? What would you gain if you sit by a dried up spring? It is useful to study the full purse. It is useful to go to the living spring that is constantly gushing. The empty purse and the dried up spring are the sick men, from which you cannot attain anything. The full purse and the living spring are the healthy man that you can use at any time. The empty purse should go to the full one and the dried up spring should go to the living one. This is a Divine method that should be applied.

 

Contemporary people do not succeed in their life, because they keep their empty purses closed. The empty purse is like a tank that waits to be filled. In order to be filled, this tank should be associated with a house in which there is life. The same holds true for the human as well. Unless he is associated with the rational life, man will remain with an empty purse, an empty tank. All the negative manifestations – scepticism, doubt, and discontent - break the connection between a man and the rational life. It was said in the Scriptures: “We live and move in God.” Whenever he breaks his connection with God, man always remains an empty tank.

 

So, suffering conceals opportunities for a man. Until he has used and understood the capabilities within himself, a person suffers. As soon as he uses and understands them – his suffering turns into joy. Enjoy the little sufferings, accept them with Love, because they are granted from God. If you cannot put your Love into practice, then why do you need it? Even if your Love might not be a grand passion, it should be applied at such a place where it can function. If you water a stone out of Love towards it for dozens of years, what will you give it? If you are constantly kissing and embracing this stone, what will you transfer to it? The most you can do is to make a small dimple on this stone. The human kisses and hugs are not meant for the stones. If in place of the stone there was a person, would you have kissed and hugged him, too? Would you have expected Love from the stone? Each one, who has attempted to make the stone love him, has always ended his trials with a broken head. The tree of knowing good and evil symbolizes nothing but the bad people in the world. This means that God has forbidden a man to feed with the fruits of the bad people. In order to be healthy, man should only eat the fruits of the good people. Now I am also telling you: Eat only the fruits of the good people. This is the new order in the world.

 

Where should you look for the bad and the good people? The bad and the good people are not outside, but within you. The bad people are your bad thoughts and feelings. Consequently, do not expect anything good from your bad thoughts and feelings. The good you can get only from your good thoughts and feelings.
