Thought Adjuster: “[[Physical]] [[labor]] is not necessarily a requirement of the [[mortal]] [[experience]]. Your [[spiritual progress]] will not be measured by the work you do in this world. Do not fall into the [[error]] of considering arduous labor as superior to other kinds of work. [[Your Father]] did not bring you into this world to [[suffer]] for no reason, but to live, learn and [[grow]].
“On more advanced [[mortal worlds]], the necessary [[work]] to sustain one’s way of life — the performance of public [[services]], order and cleanliness and more — does not occupy such a large part of the life of the [[inhabitants]]. Two to four hours a day is more than enough. On your world, many are involved in such tasks for most of their lives, missing the [[opportunities]] to cultivate other aspects of their [[personalities]].
“However on the more advanced worlds, [[human being]]s have acquired the [[discipline]] to maintain their spiritual [[momentum]]. After doing their material work, these advanced human beings don’t waste their time with [[entertainment]], idleness or [[vices]]. The greater part of the time in the lives of these mortals on the worlds of [[light and life]] is dedicated to [[study]] and being in [[service]] to their peers. The inhabitants of these worlds know very well that the [[priority]] of mortal life is to create the [[foundation]] of a future spiritual life and they have this goal as the most important endeavor they need to accomplish during their lives. Everything else is secondary. Even when they invest very little time in the lower task of their realm, they make a consistent [[effort]] to grow and learn — to become increasingly [[perfect]].
“In [[this world]], you are still fully tied to the material tasks to sustain your way of life. The vast [[majority]] of your [[time]] — and often that of many inhabitants of this world — takes place in a constant [[struggle]] for [[survival]], which does not leave space to [[explore]] anything else. For this reason, every spiritual [[impulse]] by a creature and every effort to know more about [[the Father]] and His Kingdom is much more valuable in this world than it is in a normal world.
“It doesn’t matter how busy you are, you can always [[dedicate]] even a few minutes to inner [[exploration]], to discover the [[Ta|voice of the Father within you]]. This constant dedication will produce great spiritual fruits in your [[personality]] and will take you beyond the mortal [[appearances]] that limit your [[potential]]. Do what you need to do in the world, but do not forget your true nature and the [[work]] that prepares you for eternity.
“Those who by [[chance]] enjoy more free time must first ensure that they are not doing so at the [[expense]] of their [[peers]]. Do not leave to others the [[duties]] that you should perform. Use your time as a valuable [[opportunity]] to explore your [[spirituality]] through meditation (the practice of [[stillness]]), action ([[service]] to your brothers and sisters in this world) and [[reflection]] ([[study]], [[learning]], the expansion of your [[mind]]). These activities are listed in order of importance.
===Closing===
“[[Life]] is not the same for everybody and [[the Father]] knows the situation of each one of His children. He [[expects]] a measure equivalent to the [[advantages]] each one enjoys. The great religious master that [[inspires]] the masses of the entire world with [[discourses]] of [[love]] and [[peace]] is as important to God as the [[father]] and [[mother]] of a [[family]] who have dedicated their lives to [[Parenting|raising their children]] and who only enjoy a few minutes to [[commune]] with the [[divinity]] within their selves. Do the best you can do with what has been given to you and the rewards of eternity will be yours.”
