Teacher: "It is better 'to be' than 'to do.' This is a phrase
you have often heard. What does it really mean? To really understand
some truth and internalize a value you have to become what you want
to know. As you read today, doing good deeds will not help you in your
spiritual career, unless you infuse your actions with true love.
"Remember the master's parable about the two sons. One of them
said he would do what his father asked of him, but he didn't. The other
son said no, but finally decided to do what his father wanted. The one
who did his father's will got the credit not because of what he did,
but because in his heart he realized what was right and he decided to
follow his inner motivation.
"In order to truly serve your brothers and sisters in this world
you have to love them first. Before showing the fruits of love, you
have to let this love enter your heart, you have to practice it and
you must become love. Only then will a lasting change take place in
your personality and will you truly realize through experience what
it means to really love. When knowledge is gained 'under the light of'
an authentic life experience, that knowledge becomes forever a part
of you.
"Today there are a lot of people donating large sums of money to
fashionable causes, but they are not achieving any spiritual progress.
It is not a matter of being good so others can see how good they are.
It is about learning to really love their siblings. This is where one
should focus one's efforts to achieve real spiritual growth.
"In similar fashion, when you strive to live our Father's will,
don't do it because it is the right thing to do. The followers of Jesus
stayed with Him until the very end, beyond the fear and the humiliation.
They did this not because of the great truths he taught them, but because
they loved Him deeply, because of the life He lived among them. Learn
to love your Father and you will see with how much ease your consistently
following the guidance of His presence within you becomes your habit.
By loving God you will increasingly better understand the magnitude
of the absolute and unconditional love He feels for you."
