materialistic civilization, deprived of the blessing of the Lord, resembles a child's play: as long as the parents allow the child to play, all is well, but they prevent it and the child will have to interrupt his games. Likewise, human civilization with all the activities that flow from it must be in harmony with the supreme blessing of the Lord, otherwise all the progress humanity seems to be making is no better than adornments placed on a corpse.
The activities of a civilization dead to the divine will are like clarified butter to be thrown on ashes, wealth accumulated by magic, and seeds sown in barren soil.
Logos 301
The Supreme Eternal is “death and immortality”, both at the same time.
The Lord says: “I am the ultimate death, which steals everything from demonic beings.”
Demonic beings are continually plunged into a struggle for existence, for they want to reign supreme over material nature. They repeatedly find death and create an inextricable web that keeps them prisoners of this material world. The Lord is death for demonic beings, but for his devotees, He is eternal life. The holy beings who are constantly working to serve him have already attained immortality because, whatever their activity in this life, they will continue it in the next one: they will only have to change their material body for a body. spiritual. Unlike demonic beings, holy beings no longer have to put on new material bodies. Thus, the Lord is simultaneously death and immortality. He is death for demonic beings and immortality for holy beings. For everyone He is the ultimate goal, for He is the cause of all causes. All intelligent beings are advised to surrender themselves to God in all respects, without keeping the slightest personal ambition and to serve him with love and devotion, in order to benefit from the immortality offered by the Lord.
The Supreme Eternal said: “Men freed from duality, fruit of illusion, those who in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, those in whom sin is completely ended, those -they serve Me with determination.”
These (and those) will join the Lord in his absolute kingdom and will thus be able to continue to serve him with love and devotion for all eternity.
Logos 302
How can we love the world in which we live, when the kingdom of God is a thousand times more beautiful and pleasant to live in?
