HUMAN AND DIVINE

Our outer essence is human; our inner essence divine. The human world is the desire world and the divine world is the aspiration world. In the desire world when we get something we immediately shout out,"I have found it." But in the divine world, when we get something we say to ourselves,"There is something else I need, something higher deeper, more illumination and more fulfilling. This sense of dissatisfaction is not bad. This makes us feel that we are destined to grow into something infinitely higher than what we are now.

The human in us wants to discover if there is any Truth, Light and Divinity in others. It is in doubt whether others have these qualities. But the divine in us knows that Truth. Light and Divinity are everywhere. They are not the monopoly of any individual; everybody has deep within him Peace, Light and Bliss in infinite measure.

The human in us wants to see the face of reality, so that it can change the reality to suit its own desires. The divine in us wants to see the face of reality so it can grow into the very image of the transcendental reality.

The human in us constantly cries for success, more success, abundant success. But the divine in us wants progress, constant progress, inner and outer. This progress is founded entirely upon self giving and self giving is the precursor of GOD-becoming.

The human in us wants to realise GOD THE POWER so that it can lord it over the world. The divine in us needs the the God who is all Good. The human in us prays to God and meditates on God and hopes to bring God down to satisfy its teeming desires. The human in us prays to God for its own satisfaction. But the divine in us prays and meditates so that God can utilise us in His own way, in a divine way, in a supreme way.
