THE SOWER

In the parable of the sower, Jesus affirms that it is necessary to sow the Truth and the Good, whatever the result, being, therefore, the moral region of human free will. And in this region, the result of sowing depends on the man. In the realm of free will, man is God - and he is also anti-God; it is he, and only he, who determines his destiny.

Although the Cosmic Laws exercise absolute jurisdiction over free will, they respect the freedom of men, both good and bad, the freedom that directs them to their own destinies, which can be opposed, as opposed is eternal life and eternal death.

Whoever harmonizes with the soul of the Cosmos participates individually in the eternity of the soul of the Universe and whoever opposes cosmic laws excludes themselves, annihilating themselves, nullifying themselves, reducing themselves to the existential Nothingness.

Through free will, man participates in the positive Infinite, in the universal Whole – or the negative Infinite, in the Nothingness. A free being can either integrate existentially into the Whole or it can also disintegrate into the existential Nothingness. The reality is that the Nothingness of existence is the Whole of the essence, but it is still the individual Nothingness of the creature. No creature can be reduced to the Nothingness of the essence, but the Nothingness of individual existence, as are all creatures of nature. Immortality is the permanence of man in individual existence, whereas mortal creatures of non-human nature when they die, may lose their existence and fall into the Universal essence. But in this case, we only talk about hypotheses, because what man knows is just a drop of water in the ocean of his ignorance; probably some of this intelligence have their individuality, as they are manifestations of the Supreme Self, the Imperishable One.

Every man is potentially immortal and can become immortal. Dynamic immortality - as well as dynamic freedom - is an achievement of consciousness, but it is not a gift from the crib.

Certain modern scientists deny human freedom, which they call myth or illusion. Almost all of them are based on previous laboratory experiments. They forget, however, that the vast majority of humanity has not achieved dynamic freedom, but has only potential freedom. Probably, all the creatures that passed through their laboratories and were tested were not dynamically free, and the generalized conclusion regarding the non-freedom of man, in general, is fundamentally erroneous. If the life of a Buddha, a Jesus or a Gandhi had been tested, it would have been quite a different result for these scientists who were not profound in their superficial research.

A normal adult man, who has not dynamized his potential freedom, creates guilt for not having dynamized this potential, however subtle this guilt may be, because the destiny of man on earth is to evolve in all fields, mainly in the only necessary thing, his spiritual growth. If that man is not dynamically free, he is guilty of this lack of freedom - and all guilt leads to suffering. The evil is the echo of wickedness, is the reaction of the Cosmic Laws against human wickedness.

The three classes of obstacles enumerated by Jesus, which frustrated the development of the seed, all refer to the human ego; the man-ego abused his free will, did not develop it until the maturity of his spiritual Self, and for this reason, the seed of the word of God did not bear fruit. And that ego is called the devil, the bad one, Satan.

Only a small part of the seed produced fruit, because only a tiny part of humanity has reached the full maturity of its free will, offering ideal ground for the fruiting of the divine seed.

In Western philosophy, there is a Sanskrit word called falasanga, which means "mania for results, waiting for results, prizes". Every man-ego suffers from this mania: he only works for the sake of some tangible result. A worker with no hope of a result, it is for the pure ego absurdity and stupidity. Some do not expect material results, money, property, etc., but expect results of a social, mental or emotional character, such as applause, recognition, gratitude, a name of benefactor, or perpetuation of their beneficence in the form of a statue in some park, a commemorative plaque, etc. Other selfish people who think themselves highly sublimated, expect nothing of this in the present world, but work in the certainty that, in the afterlife, they will be rewarded by God in the form of eternal glory and happiness. Almost all virtuous men make this deal, trying to deceive God.

Only the man capable of sowing good without any second intention, without speculating with any retribution, neither before nor after death, has he ceased to be selfish, totally freed from the tyrannies of the ego, manifest or camouflaged.

The parable of the sower tends to lead man to that total liberation, to sow the seed of Truth and Good without the slightest hope of attending a harvest festival.

But if sowing fails 100%, what purpose would this work still have?

It would have the ultimate purpose of complete self-realization, which is worth more than the entire Universe because a single value is worth more than all the facts.

In addition to this supreme value of the sower's self-realization, freed from any selfishness, this attitude would overflow immense energies to other beings, because no energy is lost, all energies are transformed. This physical law of “constancy of energies” also applies to metaphysics. The ideal way to do good for humanity is to be good, that is, to be completely free from any trace of selfishness.

The parable of the sower invites man to be unconditionally good, to sow Truth and Good without any second intention of obtaining objective results. All he needs is an awareness of having fulfilled his duty of self-realization or perfecting his divine essence.
