We plunge ourselves willingly, joyfully and selflessly into work in service of the Lord, His Will and Laws.
For it is only through, or by this alone that we can open up to the immense powers that surge continuously through Creation and high above us. That we can unfold our own spiritual powers. And use these to develop and ennoble our surroundings on earth.
Powers which are permeated dominated, nourished and governed by the Divine Power.
On Earth today, there are human beings who are busy quietly and unobtrusively working vigorously to rebuild the world into a haven of peace. Where true joy, happiness and love prevail.
They are struggling to bring down, through the work of their hands, their pure thoughts, words and deeds, a new world which swings radiantly in the Supreme Sublime Holy Will of the Almighty Father.
They are busy at this work, throwing their full energy and vigour, their whole being into it as if their life depends on it, as if that is the only purpose of their coming to the earth, of their existence; the only reason for which they live.
They commit their life to working earnestly to recreate and replicate the radiant world that exists luminously high above them, the world of Paradise, the real home of all human beings, which we all left millions of years ago as unconscious, undeveloped, immature spiritual children, or spirit germs with the longing for development, for the Light of the Lord, to develop and become strong, and mature like the adult spirits who exist, live and perpetually serve the the Creator of all in Paradise, who perpetually and unswervingly swing only in the Will of God there.
Or more appropriately, the home from which we were ejected as spiritual children or spirit germs millions of years ago, to another lower, cooler region, where we could slowly develop, mature, unfold and blossom with the numerous gifts and abilities entrusted in us; and gradually and slowly too, attain the recognition and living consciousness to serve the Holy Will of the Almighty Father with our whole being.
And to stand always in true worship of the Most High.
Of course, we could not live in our original home because we could not bear the heat, the fire and the ultra-great, rapid speed or movement there. There, we could not be conscious even of our existence or anything at all. There we were as good as being asleep.
But mercifully, the Lord allowed us to move out into a lower region under helping guidance, into a new Creation from the Original Creation our original home, into a new cooler and virgin region, which we were meant to develop into a copy, an annex of our original home, Paradise the world of Bliss.
Hence the World of Matter otherwise called Subsequent Creation came into being to allow for our slow, gradual and guided development, under the loving care, the caring hands and eyes of numerous helpers, who work loyally, quietly, and unobtrusively in a chain running down from Above.
This is the story which was allegorically painted in the Bible as that of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden, with the sacred command to build and develop this new virgin region of the World of Matter specially created as the field for our development.
This new world, the annex or replica, or an extension of Paradise the luminous Kingdom of the Almighty Father will certainly come on this Earth to signal off the earthly fulfilment of the solemn Promise of Jesus in the Masterpiece He left with us – The Lord’s Prayer: ‘Thy Kingdom come! Thy Will be done on earth as It is in Heaven!’
Paradise shall surely come.
