The reason for our incarnating in a human body time after time is for us to learn how to become masters of the physical plane. We are here, to attain mastership over the lower nature of our own selves by means of love-consciousness. Although by looking at the world today and its history so far one might come to think that our goal was rather to gain mastership over others through force of will... However only those who are not (yet) masters over their own selves have need to put themselves above others and to rule them forcefully. Those who have enlightened themselves with love, are masters in the true sense, because by being a shining example, they are inspiring others to follow after them and to do likewise.
Self-mastery compromises the three qualities of love, wisdom and strength of will. All three are needed in equal measures thereto and must be kept in their right balance. However life upon all its levels of manifestation is constantly fluctuating, so to maintain this balance requires watchful attention even after personal self-mastership has once been consciously achieved. Because: wisdom without love grows stale in losing its connection to actual life. Likewise strength of will loses its life-touch and thus becomes harmful and cruel. While love lacking in wisdom becomes mindless folly and will without wisdom misapplied force.
That, which is making an individual truly and lastingly powerful, in a thoroughly positive sense, is personal adherence(strength of will) to the Divine law of love(love and wisdom) ruling upon all levels of existence.
Every living thing is inwardly connected to the Universal source of love, which is the basis to this law. However in the earthly sphere human beings alone are capable of consciously linking themselves up with this force. Some attain to the aforementioned state of self-mastery by focussing their endeavours mainly upon forging this link, some do it the other way round by getting the right balance between love, wisdom and will, while yet others work from both ends simultaneously.
