But listening to Him, obeying Him, doing what He says, applying His laws, His commandments, His directives, and, armed with His knowledge, renewing the bond we have broken with Him, knowing what to do, how to behave, in order to remain on the path of acting for Him and for our salvation, loving all living beings, human, animal, and plant, and harming none of them, is much better.
Humans still do not know who God is, what He really is like, or the extent of His power. If God opens, who can close, and if He closes, who can open?
They still do not know that God, through His various energies that permeate every element of matter in the material universe, controls everything. Nothing can be done, happen, or take place without His prior decision. Everything is subject to His sanction, His consent.
To abandon ourselves to Him and serve Him with love and devotion is the perfection of existence.
If we wish to follow the path of wisdom, then:
Let us reject anger and replace it with calm and self-control.
Let us reject malice and replace it with kindness.
Let us reject hatred and replace it with love.
Let us reject greed and replace it with sharing.
Let us reject resentment and replace it with forgiveness.
Let us reject the ephemeral material knowledge that disappears at death and replace it with true, eternal spiritual knowledge that opens the mind to the truth.
Let us reject idle, meaningless conversations that lead nowhere and replace them with a serious exchange with a qualified spiritual master, a true servant of God, whom we have chosen.
Let us reject everything that leads to bondage to matter; Passions and sensual pleasures, murder, theft, sensuality, illicit sexuality outside of marriage, lying, slander, insulting and hurtful words, criticism focused solely on denial and degradation, covetousness, envy, desire, malice in all its forms, and false teaching [Denying the existence of God, changing His word and teaching, denying the law of cause and effect, denying that life continues after the death of the material body, denying that God alone has the power to free us, the fallen souls that we are].
