Heedlessness vs Heedfulness

This world continues through heedlessness. If it were not for heedlessness this world would notremain. Yearning for God, contemplation of the next world, intoxication, and ecstasy—these are the builders of that inner realm. If these true desires revealed themselves to all people, there would be a worldwide exodus. None would remain. Yet God wants both worlds to exist, so It has appointed two sheriffs one heedlessness, the other heedfulness—so that both houses can thrive.
