Learn to satisfy in all beings only their divine nature: their soul and spirit. Do not serve their ambitions, their selfish desires... You will say, 'Yes, but if we have to think only of satisfying their generous and altruistic tendencies, we will have problems with everyone, husband, wife, children, friends... they will be furious! Let them be furious and encourage only their divine side.
Jesus said, 'Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead.' If we interpret these words in a broad sense, we will make interesting discoveries. Why are there so many problems between men and women? It is because they 'follow the dead'. Yes, their lower nature is to be classified with the dead, and if they always try to satisfy this nature and its whims, they too will end by dying.
Jesus was not talking of the dead in the cemeteries; they are where they are supposed to be - besides, their souls are still alive. The dead that Jesus was talking about are people who have no spiritual life; it is they who are the real dead, and we must not give in to their demands.
-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
