Thought Adjuster: “An exemplary life is the best [[preaching]] and the best [[inspiration]] a spiritual leader can offer to those he or she serves. The [[words]] that come from the [[mind]]s of these leaders may sometimes be [[confusing]] — and due to the difference in the way of [[thinking]] of each listener — even be misinterpreted, since it is always difficult to present and [[understand]] a new and higher [[truth]]. But a life that illustrates those words or ideas is always eloquent and direct, appealing to our sense of [[justice]] and inspiring true [[adoration]].
“A spiritual leader is a person who walks first the [[path]] that he or she wants to show their followers. How could you lead anybody on a path you yourself don’t know? [[Inevitably]] you would be lost and you would drag your followers with you. You should live the truths you desire to share with your siblings. You should make the best [[decisions]] that are suggested by your [[spirit]] in every situation in life, so those who search for truth can observe how a spiritual life is to be lived.
“A true spiritual leader does not bring his or her followers to the truth. An authentic leader knows the [[value]] of [[experience]] and personal [[achievement]], therefore the leader is only concerned with showing the way, letting each person live by their own terms. A [[human being]] can never convince another to think in his or her way. Each one of you has been born to find truth in your own personal way to then become an [[individual]] and original [[expression]] of that truth. The total understanding of [[reality]] can only be achieved through the [[efforts]] of all beings. The experience of one is useful to all and the individual realizations are then added to all [[universal]] realizations. This is why every experience is important, because it represents one more work in the infinite book that describes reality, a book that is available to all.
“A spiritual leader is first of all a lover of [[humanity]]. Only a [[love]] that is unconditional and authentic can give origin to the desire of bringing every person that crosses your path towards a more meaningful and [[happy]] life. Love incites a [[soul]] to [[share]] it all and those who have tasted the delights of [[eternity]] and heard the melodies of [[divinity]] desire with all their hearts to share these glories with others. A true spiritual leader therefore never [[forces]] anybody to follow, he or she just shares the treasures found and those who decide to follow this leader will do the same.
“A true spiritual leader — like the ones that are so [[necessary]] in your world today — recognizes unity of [[purpose]] while accepting individual differences. A leader of love does not keep count of the [[soul]]s gained for his or her cause. Rather, he or she is a dedicated [[sower]], spreading the [[seeds]] of truth in the [[hearts]] of those he or she meets, leaving the reaping in the hands of each individual, because that leader knows that each fruit of spirit rising from this earth is a treasure for all. The most successful [[service]] that [[Michael]] provided to His children in this world was made while he was walking as an unknown man giving morsels of truth to the hungry souls he encountered every day. Those mortals who saw His life and His example were the ones who obtained the most benefit (more than did those who only heard His speeches) and were the ones who produced abundant fruit that in turn elevated the lives of others.”
