What is the difference between happiness of the soul and happiness of the spirit ?
Power is found in knowledge and knowledge is found when we know how to differentiate.
The soul, by definition is a substance of individual and material energy, that is to say, the soul is a whole of forces and energies that integrate mind and body.
We can find in the soul : motivation, pleasantness and everything related to the individual attitude and disposition. And also we will find the strength of the body and thought, united ; in this way, the soul contains the moods, wishes, dreams, passions, as well as the strength of the purely material nature.
This is the reason that we talk about pleasantness which is not necessarily a lasting experience and which is different from the spiritual happiness.
Spirit is Divine Grace; this grace does not change, does not get transformed by changing or unstable situations, because this is the result of a gift, the direct application of Divine Will.
That is why, only in God, His power is found. Let’s understand the differences : The soul only wants and desires but the spirit loves unconditionally and eternally.
The soul needs of a corporal perception : Time and space, form, and understanding are primordial for the soul. She needs of tangible relationships, the senses must be there, and the experience must be personal. The perception of the individual ego united to the material body is the only way for her, to feel, that is to say, the only way for the soul, to be.
Unlike the spirit, who does not have any conditions of time or space, that is to say, he does not have any conditions or conditioning. That is why, we can talk about faith in the spirit, since even though I may not be able to see, to understand or to know but I believe beyond myself.
The soul is subject to the will of the person, to his mind, body and emotions, but the spirit flows in the eternity of an absolute, perfect and integral present.
If man’s good is happiness, what is the reason that some men will never be able to have it?
As we advance in the quest and logic of spirituality, we will realize that is simple and natural to understand that Good and Justice are right and should prevail. Nevertheless, not all persons fulfill this knowledge, even more, a lot of persons are very far from this knowledge.
What is the reason for this happening ? Starting now, we are going to understand a mystery and by revealing this, it will become a light in your lives, forever.
To be born, to exist, to be, are not accidental events in which we don’t have participation, but on the contrary, we do have participation. And this can be summarized and explained as follows : Life is the beginning of the discovery of life per se, which means, that we must get to discover and know ourselves. We have to bloom in the virtue of the action, perception and in a rightly placed consciousness.
All this is achieved with work, study, concentration and even with sacrifice and not because of the sacrifice but because of the effort in order to reach the desired goal.
This is the reason that life is a wonderful opportunity but requires of our will united to our whole existence to enter the purest reason and the most sincere spiritual quest.
Good will not arrive alone, will not be given without effort, will not be reached without protecting it and taking good care of it. Life must be an experience of true, filial love, which has solidarity and is committed to a superior good. Good, is only reached in this way.
