Earth - is the place where we can evolve

02/19/2004

In the present state of the earth and of humanity, we cannot avoid evil and suffering. That is why in the universe the earth is considered to be a school, a centre of apprenticeship for those who agree to be instructed, but also a house of correction for the recalcitrant. Yes, the earth is a place where our evolution is accomplished and, in order to evolve, we must learn to work with all forms of evil and therefore must know hardships and suffering. So, instead of lamenting that the earth is a vale of tears, we must pull ourselves together and work to perfect ourselves. Otherwise, what purpose will our lives have served? Not only will we have suffered, but we will have learned nothing.
