CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, please permit me to
share with you a quotation from the work In the Light of Truth: the Grail
Message: “…he who absorbs a wrong interpretation of God and His Creation, and
does not exert himself to grasp It more purely, has not absorbed It at
all. Indeed, it is far worse, for a wrong belief keeps one back from
grasping the Truth.” From the lecture: What separates so many from the Light
today?
It can be said that a wrong belief
is tantamount to a belief in what is non-existent! It yields no useful fruit. Remember
the striking example presented to us by the two thieves crucified with Jesus.
The one on the left demanded what is similar to what many regard as a “miracle”
today! If you are the Son of God he quipped, save yourself and us by coming
down from the cross. He failed woefully to recognize that in accordance with
God’s Laws, a physical body nailed to a cross cannot come down without external
aid. In his baseless belief, he expected the Son of God to act arbitrarily
without reference to the Laws of Creation. Also note his form of prayer which
is lacking in humility, similar to the types of demanding prayers so common
today! He got nothing for his wrong believes and conceited demands. The thief
on the right however did not seek a quick fix but sought the Kingdom of
Heaven. He should be our mentor. We too
should seek God’s Kingdom by seeking its Truth with all our heart. We should
not settle for the broad and easy road that blind faith offers. Blind faith
requires only one thing: believe without thinking! This way one can believe
just about anything including eating grass in order to obtain a miracle! The
Creator however gave us the little lamp, which is the ability to examine and
illuminate so that we will be able to recognise the Word of Truth when we come
across it. Let us courageously seek the Truth and It will set us free form the
chains of dogmas, creeds and tenets!
In order not to be left behind when
the diligent ones enter the Kingdom of bliss, we need to cast away our
spiritual laziness which has hitherto made us ever ready and willing to accept
the firmly-established doctrines of others.
It is also this very dangerous kind of laziness which promotes the
thinking that it is great to adhere to the faith of one’s parents, without
submitting its underlying principles to keen, careful and independent
examination.
We should today resolve to take
stock of what we believe, subject them to keen examination and determine
whether they can stand to the litmus test of Truth. In this regard, I recommend with humility and
yet with all sense of responsibility that you examine the Grail Message. In my
own quest for Truth I found it to be a great and faithful helper!
