You do not need to do much. Your duty is to do your best.
Your excellence for Heaven, nevertheless, has no direct relationship with the validation of competence for the Earth.
A higher level of attunement with the Will of God for you will probably bring you acute dissonances with the world, starting with conflicts with your loved ones and those who, due to the circumstances, you spend more time with.
Spiritual authenticity does not pair with religious or social conventions. They are ordinarily antagonistic.
Always choose the alignment with the “voice” of your conscience over the convenience of your egoic whims of adjusting to the dictates of the culture, of environments and groups, whatever they may be.
Be careful, however, with the haughtiness that blinds the soul. Loyalty to one’s own principles involves psychological flexibility, humility to recognize oneself as fallible and willingness to correct oneself as often as necessary.
Notice that the Divinity speaks to you, not only through your conscience but also through the filters of what annoys your pride.
Thus, what, at first glance, seems like “unfortunate” situations and “inopportune” declarations can constitute the Charitable Celestial Hand rescuing you from the pits in which you have slipped into and from which you would not be able to get out on your own.
Here is one of the most relevant lessons implicated in the maxim that I transmitted twenty centuries ago: “Love your enemies”. 1
Crises, setbacks, disappointments, adversaries usually represent the most honest, efficient and powerful agents of the good in the life of every individual.
Dry your tears and exult in joy, recognizing and making the best of the Divine Mercy, which sent you the rude blow of the lifeguard that helps you not to drown in the ocean of your own mistakes, illusions, sins…
There is a limitation in this metaphor [of the lifeguard that helps you not to drown]. A person who is literally on the verge of drowning can be rescued despite their will.
In the field of the spirit, however, only with the seal of the evaluation and agreement of who receives the blessing of the rescue, can there be, in fact, the rescue.
Tragically, the usual, in the human condition, is that the cunning of the ego, manipulated by puppets or even geniuses of evil, lead the creatures to demonize forces, personalities and contexts with the potential to save them, instilling in them, in the same move, the idea that they are victims of offences, attacks or unreasonable attitudes, on the part of others — regardless of whether, in a more superficial and immediate analysis, this is really occurring.
The incautious human heart often forgets that God is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent and that, thus, inexorably, there is always an educational, curative and benevolent purpose in everything that the All-Loving Being, who never errs, allows to happen, even if to instigate listless and coward individuals to raise from the moral bankruptcy of despair to then fight, valiantly and persistently, for the victory of good…
To those who make themselves capable of assimilating this message of Sublime Origin, victory is guaranteed, as I equally said, in the past, addressing all generations of this humanity:
“The one who perseveres till the end will be saved”. 2
