Esoteric Lesson

Love for the beauty of nature. Enjoy it in small things. Then you will not, like the materialistic person of today, who only craves sensation, experience nature only in the majestic sea or in the majestic mountains, but in what can be found everywhere. The person to whom the higher worlds are opening up should not close himself off from the outside world. He should not criticize nature without sympathy, but get to know it and seek to understand it. Then every little animal can teach him something. No one should say, “It's only Maya.” One would have to answer, “Yes, it's only Maya, but it's God's Maya — and it's beautiful.” Why can people today rejoice in a tree? Because the gods once rejoiced in what was around them. It would be terrible for the future if people were to walk through the world indifferently; they would leave behind a joyless world. Not only for themselves, but also for others, something will emerge in the future from every joy that has been found in small things. Here, the following applies: everything that is hidden will become apparent.
