Whenever you want to examine the Holy Word, know that It stands on a lofty pedestal far above you.
That it is you who must genuinely exert yourself to approach It. And be permitted to gratefully draw from Its inexhaustible wealth for your well-being.
Wear for your soul a clean garment for you will now be permitted, as you have begged, to approach the Holy Word radiantly enthroned high above you.
Now you are embarking on a special journey, taking a flight to access the Treasure where It is radiantly enthroned on the loftiest pedestal on the highest Height.
As you set out, drop whatever personal desires you harboured hitherto. And fill yourself only with the pure wish to give of yourself, to give your whole being to serve only the Holy Will of the Father.
Thus as you set out to examine It, know that It lives and is enthroned high above you at a lofty Height. That It stands radiantly living and working from this loftiest Height.
And that you must exert yourself to access It at this loftiest Height. It cannot be dragged down to your level. Rather it is you who must exert yourself to seek, approach, and access it.
And be permitted to gratefully draw from the inexhaustible wealth It contains for only the deserving, for only he who earnestly seeks.
Throw your whole being into seeking and serving the Holy Will of the Father first. Try first to fulfil all that He tells you in His Word, all that He has given you so far.
Trustfully eat the food He has served you richly so far, the delicious meals He has served you so far. Give yourself unto Him without reserve. Without expectation, which actually is a demand.
Only He can demand.
And reciprocally all that you need to maintain yourself will flow to you. Even without formal petitions.
