Infos

Finnish Theosophist Pekka Ervast shows us in a consistent way how a person seeking truth can get a personal experience of Gods existence and how God loves him or her and all people with constant and unalterable love. God lives inside every human being and with this Inner God we can be happy in the circumstances that we are in right now.Happiness is not a reward one gains after a struggle but it is the purpose of human life. The only way out of illnesses, worries, vices and the feeling of loneliness is faith in life itself and ones mission in life. It is the only remedy which helps with everything. Faith is regular meditation or prayer through which one begins to understand that the purpose of life is to be of help to others.

Inhalt

Pekka Ervast held seven lectures between September and October 1922, and based on these lectures he compiled a book called God and Happiness, here published as an English translation as The Inner God and Happiness. The content of the book was current when it was first published 50 years after the birth of the Theosophical movement, and it still is so today: People still ask what is the purpose of life and seek happiness.

Ervast shows how the existence of God can be examined through philosophical reflection, and how it is our human responsibility to seek truth. Following open-minded research one may get an experience that God loves one and all humans and other creatures unconditionally. He shows us that after having done away with external dividing characteristics we as a humanity are all brothers together, and we should take care of each other. Life wants us to be happy, but our conceptions of happiness are erroneous.
