Often I encounter many fallen low invalids who brag that they did big things, earned degrees, enjoyed much, travelled widely etc. What is the use of those when they have fallen in such lowly helpless state? There actually is no difference between them and the street’s born-blind beggar. Even that beggar might be better than them in love-humility scale. If end is well all is well. So Christ said “All is vain, if one gains the world to lose his soul”.
Losing soul means losing the love-integrity of soul. Everything is bound together by love-God, our body, mind and soul parts, family, society, civilization etc. If love-bond is destroyed all fall apart. Our soul is made of many parts built up by spiritual atoms in spiritual heaven. From there we fell here due to our love-bond weakening by pride-devil. So we became weak unable to bear good fruit. Rather we made destructive bad fruits as Eve bore Cain. Now we all are going to hell of eternal soul death (death of personality as in mad people even here). But the disjoined soul parts will remain to suffer eternally from their evil likes. This we have extensively seen during exorcism as described in my books, posts and blogs. Gospel also tells that.
But we can’t regain that heaven of fruitfulness without a teacher. No one can grant that unless we acquire. Freely given things never hold unless we exercise to digest that. We have seen such freely given things not only useless but destructive in the end. Lottery’s destructive effects are well known.
Only by love-exercise we can gain a love-integrity that will lead towards eternity. Of course achieving eternity is impossible as every absolute is impossible. They are just imaginary reference points. So we should strive to be near it as Christ also is doing now by constant love works. He is our living exemplifying teacher. By becoming his fruits following him, we may become fruitful like him unto eternity.
