Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 CHAPTER 9 The biggest weakness of man is to retaliate to aggression, impulsively, the result of the unthought response will only be suffering, suffering, suffering! Do not be agitated, easily, My child, for the one that allows the mind to become easily unstable will not find the patience to react with the strength of the Lord's truth. Do not worry of the evil dirt that is fling upon you. No dirt can touch nor adhere to the one, that bathes in the nectarine waters of the Lord's love. A mad man's attack must be treated with compassion - Yes! With the dignity of wisdom - with the fortitude of patience. To respond, in the same insane manner, makes you no different, if not any worse from the insane attacker! The Lord, My child, does not say to bear the oppression of the unjust enemy, forever. No! But, at the same time, one must not respond while he is being swayed in the heat of his passions. Such a response, brings no message, has no direction and leaves no worthy impression. Emotion, My child, will never give you the strength to stand up for the good nor to fight. Its tears of anger will only invoke the horns of pride that will attack, to inflict equal pain upon the attacker. The vision of the divine is blocked by the tears of fury, and hence, both the attacker and the defender, fight, with no vision, other than the darkness of hatred and pride. To fight the oppression, one must first learn to be able to see it with calmness. If one is unable to bear another's weakness - he must realize, instantly, that the same weakness surely exists in him. In such a circumstance, one must, at first, stay silent. Silent, for he, too, is developing the strength to remove the poison of the evil snake within him. Until you can find the strength to bear with compassion, conviction and confidence another's weakness - until then, do not confront him! For then, it will not be a confrontation between the bad and the good - it will be a confrontation between the bad and the foolish! Immerse yourself in activities that awaken the feeling of pure love within you. Let it awaken, and then draw strength from it, My child! Let so much strength awaken that one feels pure love and not hatred towards his opponent. Only then, will one be able to defend with the Divine Truth, and only then, will he develop the divine Vision, in which he sees the evil separate from the doer. With such Divine weapons, one will be able to target the arrow upon the evil, with no pain inflicted upon the doer! When one knows and fully practices the knowledge, one will surely become the Divine teacher. Do not ever blame another's weakness. Your home is dark, because you are devoid of the divine current. Fight the oppression - face the opponent not to belittle him, but, in fact, to lift him to the strength of the divine values from which you have benefited. Remember, at the end of the battle, the sign of true victory is when the good is able to draw the enemy with his strength of true enlightenment. Life is short, My child. Silently observe the ways of nature and learn, My dear. Tirelessly, provide the world with your divine strength. Day or night God's work must continue. Fight, only if the cause is worthy - fight, only if the opponent is ready to learn his final lesson - fight, to be the giver - not the grabber. Fight, if the truth is in complete jeopardy - fight, to make the present enemy the life-long friend. Make every mission, you undertake, worthy. Let its message be that of God - Yes! God, alone!
