Would you like to comment on this quote*?
I will be pleased to go into it.
When you move into traffic, you’ll always pay attention. How could it be
otherwise, when you’ll cross over, you may be hit by a car. Or when you drive
in your car, you can get a crash within
a second. A small child you are watching carefully.
In your spiritual, inner, and earthly life, that’s how it is.
We see you live, and see you do not pay attention at crucial moments.
And afterwards you are left holding the baby. And then one will even sometimes
blame God.
You have a weakness for alcohol, and think: one drink will not hurt.
You are tired and response irritatedly to an innocent passer-by who
bumped into you. You are hungry and grab the bag of chips.
You are sexually aroused and do not look at the reactions of your lust object.
At such moments, the silly ego and the devil are waiting for your
candour and will pull you into the damp basement of the unconscious.
Instead it is all you have to say: God, be close to me, and you will see
crystal clear the right next step.
The glass will be left behind or will be accompanied by yourselves with:
just this one.
The fatigue will be isolated and you will remain friendly to the
passer-by. Hunger will be recognized and you will take something healthy, simply because you are too fat.
You are sexually aroused and will see crystal clear the fragile feelings of your object of lust.
And all goes well. God remains with you.
The silly ego and the devil, those clever ape of God, will beat a
retreat.Do not be naive.
Always exercise cautiousness on extreme moments.
Be aware of God.
Ask the spiritual world to support and help.
Recognize the clever tricks of the devil.
The first step you can leave behind easily.
The second step on the bad path will ask automatically for a third step.
Be alert.
Instead of entering the damp dark basement of evil you will remain in the sunny backyard of God.
My blessings to you all
