Evolution - requires time and work

02/11/2010

Much time and, above all, hard work are necessary before you can obtain results in the spiritual life. Look at how many millions of years it takes for stones to become plants, how many millions of years for plants to become animals, and then for animals, how many millions of years to become humans. Obviously, as you move through the realms, that time decreases: it takes stones an enormous amount of time, less time for plants, less again for animals, and even less for humans to become superhumans or angels, because abilities and faculties increase with each realm. Even with this decrease in time, it will still take hundreds of thousands of years before humans can become like angels, but if you consciously set to work, you can shorten that time.
