“O thou seeker of the Heavenly Kingdom!…” 482 |
|
This world resembles the human body and the Kingdom
of God is like the spirit of life. Think how
narrow and dark the material world of man is, how
afflicted with disease and maladies; but how bright and
spacious is His Spiritual World! Through this illustration
thou mayest comprehend in what manner is the
Spiritual World portrayed in this earthly world and in
what degree is its power effected. Though the Spirit
is concealed, its power is manifested and clear in the
phenomenal world; and so with the Kingdom of God,
though it is veiled from the eyes of the ignorant people, to
men of perception it is discernable and evident. Therefore,
thou must become entirely heavenly that thou
mayest forget the earthly conditions and be immersed
in the perception of Divinity to such a degree that
thou wilt be unconscious of the surrounding material
existence.
