Brother, know that the man who does not expect the consequences of his own deeds is not merely unprepared, he is already wounded, for such unknowing is not a lack of information but a lack of watchfulness. In the desert of the heart, where thoughts speak louder than the voices of men, I have understood that evil does not seek a particular person, but seeks the crack, and the one who does not assume the outcomes of his life becomes himself a crack within his own being. Thus evil finds him easily, not because it pursues him, but because he does not hide himself in truth. For the man who does not receive the consequence of his deed is like one who throws a stone into the water and wonders why waves rise. But the waves are not punishment, they are echo, and the echo does not come from outside, but from his own depths. Brother, do not be deceived: freedom without consequences is not freedom but dizziness, and this dizziness makes a man an easy prey for any foreign thought, for any fear, for any evil that passes through the world like a cold wind. He who does not expect consequences lives in an imaginary world, and the imaginary world is the place where evil works most easily, for evil has no power over reality, only over illusions. Therefore, assumption is not a burden but a shield, an awakening, and a strengthening of the heart. When a man says, “This is my deed, and this is its outcome,” then evil has no place through which to enter, for truth, no matter how much it hurts, is a wall, and flight, no matter how much it seems to ease, is a fracture.
“He who does not receive the outcome of his deed will receive the outcome of his fear.” Amen.
