If we all no longer needed to sacrifice, no longer needed to struggle as proof of sacrifice, and when everything could happen according to our wishes almost instantly.
The disappearance and reappearance of ourselves could occur. Then disappointment and satisfaction would alternate almost without pause, so it could almost be said that there would always be satisfaction and almost no disappointment.
When everything is fulfilled. When everything is within our control. And not only us, but anyone who has a will could wish whatever they wanted. Each could destroy one another but also recover almost instantly.
When struggle is hardly needed anymore. Everything is almost instantly easy. THEN❓
There is only pleasure❗️No degree of pleasure. No affection. No appreciation.
Thus, we would also not know what attention, sincerity, or even love is.
ONLY PLEASURE. EGOISM WITHOUT A PERSONAL TOUCH. EVERYTHING IS LIKE AN OBJECT OF PLEASURE THAT IS MERELY LIMITED TO ENJOYMENT.
So, if this is related to faith and life in a harsh world, it can be understood that STRUGGLE FOR SACRIFICE WILL GIVE QUALITY TO PLEASURE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO AWARENESS OF LOVE AS THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF PLEASURE.
And this subjective scenario or condition indicates a form of divine love that seeks to make us aware of quality.
So, it is not that God is idly playing with His servants, but rather it is the only way to introduce the quality of pleasure, a degree of pleasure that leads to the awareness of affection, sincere appreciation, and love.
The question is, what is the highest quality? Certainly, it involves the toughest test through the heaviest sacrifice, which needs to be fought for with the heaviest burden, so that the highest degree of pleasure is realized as a form of the highest love. What is that?
Sacrifice & Love.
Then how about love that doesn’t mean sacrifice, but sacrifice is needed to achieve love?
That’s because love feels balance, and its struggle involves the effort to balance all existing imbalances. This involves the sacrifice of placing things in their proper places, which means leaving or ignoring things beyond our capacity that would otherwise create imbalance unique to ourselves.
Once balance is achieved, then that is the state of pleasure.
Of course, the highest balance is achieved by completing oneself with the highest quality, which can be reached through the optimization of one’s potential.
The best optimization of potential occurs when the ego is kept from the turbulence of arrogance. Why? Because arrogance leaves little room for other balancing qualities that need to be nurtured within us.
Thus, sacrifice (the effort to optimize oneself) can lead to love (feeling a sense of balance).
And the highest form of sacrifice is worship, because the act of worship can only be done by discarding the arrogance of the ego and replacing it with a calm ego.
Loving without balance means chasing love, realizing love, and when balance is achieved, one has succeeded in feeling love (feeling balance).
Balance between fellow creatures means mutual completion, complementing each other.
While balance between us and God does not mean taking something from God, but rather God helps us achieve balance within ourselves.
That is why those who love creatures may feel anxious when separated from their loved ones. But those who love God find their tranquility undisturbed even when others leave them, because within themselves, they have achieved internal balance as a form of better balance of self-potential than before (a process increasingly approaching total balance).
WORSHIP
Yes, worship is the highest degree of testing through the heaviest sacrifice of the ego, thus teaching us about the highest degree of love.
That’s why the form of worship, even though it doesn’t involve heavy physical burdens, is actually the most difficult test.
That’s how life should be understood. Except if we were children, because this is only for adult understanding.
SO GOD IS NOT IDLY PLAYING WITH HIS SERVANTS, NOR ASKING TO BE WORSHIPED BECAUSE HE LACKS GLORY. GOD IS ALREADY GLORIOUS AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE WORSHIPED. BUT WE NEED TO WORSHIP HIM AS A WAY TO REALIZE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF PLEASURE, WHICH IS LOVE.
THIS IS where our journey of patience begins. Sorry, this can only be understood by adults.
The question then arises: in heaven, where everything is already provided, full of pleasure, doesn’t that mean there is no quality of pleasure’s degree? Does it mean that all life processes are in vain because, in heaven, love is not recognized, since everything is already easy without struggle? How can this still maintain the quality of love? Realizing the degrees of pleasure?
Yes, that is why we live in this world undergoing trials, so that after being in heaven, the awareness of respect, sincerity, and degrees of love remains.
And when in heaven we are introduced to higher and higher degrees of pleasure, we will realize and be grateful for them as a result of learning through experience.
Regardless of whether you strive to believe in God and heaven or hell, at the very least, we understand the rational reason behind all the scenarios of creation, trials, and heaven. Everything has its connection.
As for the reasoning behind hell, it’s certainly related to justice, but that is another topic beyond this context.
