92. As any action which is expedient and has a certain purpose in itself is called a "normal" action, while any action which is purposeless or inexpedient is called an "abnormal" action, we have here a yardstick by which we can measure whether a concept of life or a knowledge of life's highest mystery is identical with the absolute or unchangeable analysis of the Eternal Truth, or whether it still represents only an imaginary value, analogous to two plus two make three, five or six and so on. If this knowledge reveals vibrations, movements or manifestations in life which are quite purposeless or inexpedient and thus correspondingly exhibits purposeless areas of existence, this only reveals that the said knowledge is not identical with the true or unalterable analysis of life, but on the contrary, merely produces an assumption which has to gradually give way as the analysis of the true facts or the true knowledge of life springs forth. In this analysis no kind of purposeless manifestations, movements or unplanned areas are to be found, but the contrary, where everything is revealed as being absolutely purposeful and every single reality works in complete accord with the other realities of the universe. This creates an outstanding interaction in harmony with the clearest sense or intelligence - thus showing us that all life or existence constitutes a divine, intelligent world plan, unveiling every detail as being in the most complete harmony with the concept: "Everything is very good" - the microcosmic as well as macrocosmic, the so-called "evil" as well as the so-called "good". A knowledge that shows existence to us in this way can never at any time be changed, but will stand out as the eternal, unshakeable result of all vibrations, movements and phenomena of life. It is the highest disclosure of the Eternal Truth that can possibly be given. It is the analysis of the very facts regarding the revelation of the mystery of life. It is the absolute knowledge of the universe, of the Godhead and of living beings.
      The revelation of such knowledge is the main factor in the Divine Creative Principle's new world impulse now radiating over the Earth. But in order that such knowledge should really become a united, practical basis for all nations the world over, it will be necessary for them to go through similar or related experiences. The contrast between nations will have to be softened. The human beings' desire for spiritual knowledge will have to be brought to bear on the same questions in the East as in the West and vice versa. An association of all nations can therefore only be based on a common interest, a common goal - changing the common imperfection to perfection.
      The common interest which all nations must thus be brought to attain is already visible as identical with their present growing joint interest in creating a way out of strife, away from the zones of war, suffering, ignorance and superstition. All aims and interests of the nations are now getting visibly more and more concentrated on following the creation of mutual harmony, spiritual as well as material, and thereby absolute World Peace.
      The leading principle for the development or the creation of such a mutual and fundamental interest has been material and technical expansion. On account of this development, with railways, ocean liners and aeroplanes conquering the distances between continents, mutual contacts have been made between the various nations. With the aid of technical instruments, terrestrial mankind's outlook expanded and science was born. By means of schools, universities and teachers, education and scientific experiences are spreading throughout the world in the form of civilization and culture. Primitive races now participate in the pleasant as well as the unpleasant experiences of civilized people in their perfections and imperfections. They learn to read and write. They gain access to modern knowledge about history, geography, astronomy, chemistry, physics, mathematics and technology. The less civilized races are gradually being given the same opportunities as more cultured people to take examinations and degrees and to qualify for diplomas and apprenticeships. Their contact with civilization in all these ways will bring about a crumbling of their old superstitious ideas. And on the basis of the same contact, as they also come to know the unpleasant experiences of civilization - its vices and diseases, its unfortunate social order with its greed and extravagance still tolerated, its poverty, homelessness, starvation and misery as well as its mutual exploitation of individuals - so these less civilized people will relatively soon, spiritually and materially, reach the standpoint of the more cultured people regarding the demand for justice and for receiving an absolute knowledge concerning eternal realities, in other words a knowledge of life and its laws.
