| Kingdom of God - first within ourselves, then in the world
"When Jesus said, ‘Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven’, he was saying we should create a bond, a current of energies between heaven and Earth so that the harmony, order, and beauty of heaven might be established on Earth, that is to say, also in ourselves. For Jesus was not talking about an earth that is external to man; the kingdom of God must be established first and foremost within us. If it were established in the world while human beings were still anarchic and violent, it would do no good at all; they would immediately destroy it. Only when the kingdom of God is established in human beings will it be possible to establish it also in the world.
Jesus worked for the Kingdom of God, for universal brotherhood, but nobody understood him. Today it is up to us to continue his work and to establish within ourselves the order and harmony that exist on high. That is the program before us!" |
