The Pure Spiritual Science
Page 357 of 728

Unlike other bodily, plant and animal forms, only the human form allows one to gain knowledge of God and develop intelligence. The unbeliever is one who, despite such advantages, does not take full advantage of the human form to achieve his spiritual self. He is a “assassin of the soul”, whose destiny is to plunge into the deepest darkness of ignorance to suffer interminably there; this is the danger against which God warns us. The human form is not given to us to paint like the donkey or the camel, but rather to enable us to attain the greatest perfection of being. If we are not concerned with spiritual realization, nature will force us to work hard, willingly or unwillingly.

At the time we live, man is forced to toil like a beast of burden; in fact, Earth has now become an example of the regions where unbelievers are sent to suffer. If the man does not fulfill the duties which his human form confers to him, he will have to transmigrate on planets called “of unbelievers”, where all beings, in degenerate forms, struggle in ignorance and darkness and must descend into the infernal regions. On the other hand all those who, in spite of a sincere effort, fail in their attempt of spiritual realization, will obtain to be reborn in a family of high condition.

Logos 15

All living species must fight a hard fight for their survival. By nature, the soul is eternal, but trapped in matter, it must inevitably pass from one body to another. This transmigration or reincarnation of the soul is the consequence of “the chain of its own actions”.

According to the laws of nature from divine laws, everyone must work to live, but if we do so without taking into account the duties inherent in the human form, we break these laws, with the effect of plunging us even deeper into the cycle deaths and rebirths. All living species (human, animal, plant) are subject to these repeated deaths and births, but the spiritual being who obtains a human form can escape the law of karma. Karma: Law of nature according to which all material action, good or bad, necessarily involves consequences, which have the effect of ever more chaining its author to material existence and the cycle of death and rebirth. The intelligent man will choose the path that allows him to break the bonds by which he is retained in the material world. Most people want to do meritorious acts to have their virtue recognized, to improve their living conditions in this world, or even to reach heavenly planets. But the more evolved man, the intelligent man, wants to free himself both from the actions themselves and from their consequences, because he knows very well that good or bad, they are also sources of suffering.
