Universal life - all of our activities must converge towards building it

07/14/2026

The question that faces human beings is how to use all the elements at their disposal in order to build their own existence. Human beings are part of the cosmic edifice, but they do not belong to this whole as if they were only a stone, a plant or an animal. As conscious, thinking beings, they have a different part to play. They must acquire knowledge of all these materials and learn how to use them to build their own lives, while at the same time helping to build the life of the collectivity. Yes, sooner or later, each one of us will be obliged to take an active part in the construction of this edifice of collective, universal life. All our activities must be made to converge in this direction. As long as people lead selfish, individualistic lives, cut off from the whole, it is as though they were content to pile up materials without being able to do anything with them. Unfortunately, this is the case for most human beings: they just accumulate masses of materials until they collapse under their weight. It is high time that they decided to do something with them!
