" DONT DO WORK LIKE SLAVE "

HELPING OTHERS PHYSICALLY, BY REMOVING THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS, IS INDEED GREAT, BUT THE HELP IS GREAT ACCORDING AS THE NEED IS GREATER AND ACCORDING AS THE HELP IS FAR REACHING . IF A MAN'S WANTS CAN BE REMOVED FOR AN HOUR, IT IS HELPING HIM INDEED, IF HIS WANTS CAN BE REMOVED FOR A YEAR, IT WILL BE MORE HELP TO HIM, BUT IF HIS WANTS CAN BE REMOVED FOR EVER, IT IS SURELY THE GREATEST HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN HIM. SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN DESTROY OUR MISERIES FOR EVER, ANY OTHER THING THAT CAN DESTROY OUR MISERIES FOR EVER, ANY OTHER KNOWLEDGE SATISFIES WANTS ONLY FOR A TIME. IT IS ONLY WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIRIT THAT THE FACULTY OF WANT IS ANNIHILATED FOR EVER, SO HELPING MAN SPIRITUALLY IS THE HIGHEST HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO HIM.

HE WHO GIVES MAN SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE IS THE GREATEST BENEFACTOR OF MANKIND AND AS SUCH WE ALWAYS FIND THAT THOSE WERE THE MOST POWERFUL OF MEN WHO HELPED MAN IN HIS SPIRITUAL NEEDS, BECAUSE SPIRITUALLITY IS THE TRUE BASIS OF ALL OUR ACTIVITIES IN LIFE. A SPIRITUALLY STRONG AND SOUND MAN WILL BE STRONG IN EVERY OTHER RESPECT, IF HE SO WISHES. UNTIL THERE IS SPIRITUAL STRENGTH IN MAN EVEN PHYSICAL NEEDS CANNOT BE WELL SATISFIED. NEXT TO SPIRITUAL COMES INTELLECTUAL HELP. THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE IS A FAR HIGHER GIFT THAN THAT OF FOOD AND CLOTHES, IT IS EVEN HIGHER THAN GIVING LIFE TO A MAN, BECAUSE THE REAL LIFE OF MAN CONSISTS OF KNOWLEDGE. IGNORANCE IS DEATH, KNOWLEDGE IS LIFE. LIFE IS OF VERY LITTLE VALUE, IF IT IS A LIFE IN THE DARK, GROPING THROUGH IGNORANCE AND MISERY. NEXT IN ORDER COMES, OF COURSE, HELPING A MAN PHYSICALLY. THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERING THE QUESTION OF HELPING OTHERS, WE MUST ALWAYS STRIVE NOT TO COMMIT THE MISTAKE OF THINKING THAT PHYSICAL HELP IS THE ONLY HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN.

IT IS NOT ONLY THE LAST BUT THE LEAST, BECAUSE IT CANNOT BRING ABOUT PERMANENT SATISFACTION. THE MISERY THAT I FEEL WHEN I AM HUNGRY IS SATISFIED BY EATING, BUT HUNGER RETUNRS, MY MISERY CAN CEASE ONLY WHEN I AM SATISFIED BEYOND ALL WANT. THEN HUNGER WILL NOT MAKE ME MISERABLE, NO DISTRESS, NO SORROW WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE ME. SO, THAT HELP WHICH TENDS OF MAKE US STRONG SPIRITUALLY IS THE HIGHEST, NEXT TO IT COMES INTELLECTUAL HELP, AND AFTER THAT PHYSICAL HELP.

THE WHOLE GIST OF THIS TEACHING IS THAT YOU SHOULD WORK LIKE A MASTER AND NOT AS A SLAVE, WORK INCESSANTLY, BUT DO NOT DO SLAVE'S WORK. DO YOU NOT SEE HOW EVERYBODY WORKS? NOBODY CAN BE ALTOGETHER AT REST, NINETY-NINE PER CENT OF MANKIND WORK LIKE SLAVES, AND THE RESULT IS MISERY, IT IS ALL SELFISH WORK. WORK THROUGH FREEDOM! WORK THROUGH LOVE! THE WORLD "LOVE" IS VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, LOVE NEVER COMES UNTIL THERE IS FREEDOM. THERE IS NO TRUE LOVE POSSIBLE IN THE SLAVE. IF YOU BUY A SLAVE AND TIE HIM DOWN IN CHAINS AND MAKE HIM WORK FOR YOU, HE WILL WORK LIKE A DRUDGE, BUT THERE WILL BE NO LOVE IN HIM. SO WHEN WE OURSELVES WORK FOR THE THINGS OF THE WORLD AS SLAVES, THERE CAN BE NO LOVE IN US, AND OUR WORK IS NOT TRUE WORK. THIS IS TRUE OF WORK DONE FOR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, AND IS TRUE OF WORK DONE FOR OUR OWN SELVES. SELFISH WORK IS SLAVE'S WORK, AND HERE IS A TEST. EVERY ACT OF LOVE BRINGS HAPPINESS, THERE IS NO ACT OF LOVE WHICH DOES NOT BRING PEACE AND BLESSESNESS AS ITS REACTION .
👀❤👀
REAL EXISTENCE, REAL KNOWLEDGE, AND REAL LOVE ARE ETERNALLY CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER, THE THREE IN ONE, WHERE ONE OF THEM IS, THE OTHERS ALSO MUST BE, THEY ARE THE THREE ASPECTS OF THE ONE WITHOUT A SECOND - THE EXISTENCE - KNOWLEDGE- BLISS. WHEN THAT EXISTENCE BECOMES RELATIVE WE SEE IT AS THE WORLD, THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE THINGS OF THE WORLD, AND THAT BLISS FORMS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL TRUE LOVE KNOWN TO THE HEART OF MAN. THEREFORE TRUE LOVE CAN NEVER REACT SO AS TO CAUSE PAIN EITHER TO THE LOVER OR TO THE BELOVED.

SUPPOSE A MAN LOVES A WOMAN, HE WISHES TO HAVE HER ALL TO HIMSELF, HED WANTS HER TO SIT NEAR HIM, TO STAND NEAR HIM, AND TO EAT AND MOVE AT HIS SLAVE. THAT IS NOT LOVE, IT IS A KIND OF MORBID AFFECTION OF THE SLAVE, INSINUATING ITSELF AS LOVE. IT CANNOT BE LOVE, BECAUSE IT IS PAINFUL, IF SHE DOES NOT DO WHAT HE WANTS, IT BRINGS HIM PAIN. WITH LOVE THERE IS NO PAINFUL REACTION, LOVE ONLY BRINGS A REACTION OF BLISS, IF IT DOES NOT, IT IS NOT LOVE, IT IS MISTAKING SOMETHING ELSE FOR LOVE. WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN LOVING YOUR HUSBAND, YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILDREN, THE WHOLE WORLD, THE UNIVERSE, IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THERE IS NO REACTION OF PAIN OR JEALOUSY, NO SELFISH FEELING, THEN YOU ARE IN A FIT STATE TO BE UNATTACHED.
