Are human beings able to assimilate the teachings of this Spiritual Philosophy, to put them into practice in their daily lives? Unfortunately not everybody is. Most do not yet admit life without divine protection. Most can't conceive a Universe ruled by natural laws that make no special distinctions and grant no privileges or favours to anyone. This type of World and Universe is difficult to be accepted by those who, led by their parents or tutors, grew up with the mental images of gods and saints crowding their childhood.
It is said that the time has come for the awakening of humanity. However, there is a marked prevalence of material values over spiritual ones.
Youth is beginning to repel, and rightly so, the concept of heaven and hell, in a Universe that scientific research is striving to unveil. And by observing the multisecular deception of which they have been a victim, youth have been letting themselves be influenced by the dangerous seductions of materialism or mystical superstitions, thus being at risk of replacing a lesser evil with a greater evil.
Now imagine what the world would be like today if the temples of all religions, instead of teaching how to plead, pray and worship, would instead minister the rational and enlightening spiritual principles disclosed in these collection of writings, aiming at a sound, fulfilling life?
Do you have any idea of what it would mean for humanity to transform these temples into schools of high spiritualism?
The main problem of life is for human beings to learn to trust themselves, have confidence in the process of willpower and in the prodigious, immeasurable force of their thoughts.
How humanity's creative power would then develop! And what splendid material human beings would have available in order to improve their moral attributes and develop upstanding, conscious and strong personalities!
