Heaviness - against which we must struggle every day

06/02/2004

Every day we must struggle with our own darkness, our own sluggishness. Yes, we must struggle every day. You will say: ‘But how long will this go on?' As long as a human being incarnates on earth, he will have to take on a body and, because this body is by nature heavy and coarse, it cannot escape the grip of matter. Only when he finally cuts his connections to the earth at the end of his evolution will he escape this crushing weight and darkness. But as long as human beings are on earth, they must be under no illusion; they cannot escape it. The only exception is the true spiritualist, who is conscious, struggles and clings to God, to the light, to love, to hope and to faith. He prays, he meditates, and more and more often he succeeds in freeing himself inwardly from this weight.
