The desire to become a conductor of light must come from the person himself

November 8th 2024
Human beings are absorbed with all sorts of projects, but to what end? It is very, very rare that their efforts are directed toward becoming a servant of God, a conductor of light. It would be easy to provide them with the means to do so, but it is far more difficult to make them aspire to such an ideal. Even the Lord cannot give them this desire. This deep longing has to come from people themselves – nobody else can desire in your stead, just as nobody else can feel hungry and eat on your behalf.
A Master can give you all the necessary food, metaphorically speaking, but you are the ones who must eat it; the Master cannot eat it for you. If a Master eats on your behalf, he will get ‘fatter’, and you will get ‘thinner’! A Master gives you knowledge, but the willingness to accept and apply it must come from you. Your Master’s knowledge, together with your own good will, will produce astonishing results.*
