This is a meditation-book for our own times. ln it one of the most profound yet popular and moving spiritual writers of the age offers the quintessence of his thought about the adventure of human life. Here Ladislaus Boros exercises his unique ability to convey to modern man a trustful experience of mystery and truth in the setting of the Christ-event. He centres his examination 'of the problem of what exactly man is here for on Jesus's desire to be our brother, on his longing to show us how to become real, unique human beings.
Boros faces us uncompromisingly with Jesus's message of all-embracing Iove and sets it against all lust for power and pleasure at tle expense of our fellow men. He defines the birth of Jesus as liberation but reminds us that it is also salvation. Jesus gives us the means to become real men and women. He does so by laying the richly mysterious future open for each one of us: "We should never be satisfied with what has already been accomplished... We must allow the impulse which has driven the universe to higher and higher stages of being in the evolutionary process and has become finally concentrated in man to go on working powerfully within us... We must think of God as greater and more all-embracing than all our own imaginings... We must not delude ourselves into thinking that we have him in our grasp. We should not be mean in our attrtude to life – ours and othersl We have to let our – selves be carried by love beyond anything that we or others might achieve."
