Of Love and Aspiration of Desire and Atonement
Other Authors Nolini Kanta Gupta Towards The LightOf the Divine and its Help
Of the Divine and its Help

It is the Divine alone that is capable of immediate and absolute surrender.

But is there not in the human that which is divine?

Discover the centre of your being and hold fast to it; only from there can you describe the perfect circle of life rounded into its absolute fullness.

Do not strive and struggle to do. Only be conscious of what is being done for you.

There is a Power that is not grim and violent, but smiling and translucent and yet irresistible. It does not give out heat and soot but radiates a soothing and persuasive clarity. It is not the Fire of our earth that burns and bruises, smokes and crackles-it is something like the serene and silent luminousness, the steady and unaging radiance of the distant stars that energises the cosmic symphony.

All activity should carry with it a sense of repose. Doing everything you must feel as if you were doing nothing-even while most energetic, know how to be perfectly at rest.

In the same way, all repose must be filled with intense activity-tranquil and immobile, yet a dynamo of the swiftest and surest energies.

One must know how to wait-calm, patient, unshakable-wait indefinitely, as long as that is demanded, accepting even what looks like defeat.

But when the time arrives, one must know also how to be swift, impetuous, violent even-and victorious.

Await every moment, with all the concentrated expectancy of an imminent motherhood, the birth of the Divine in you. Await in calmness, await in breathless readiness.

Silence is the gate through which you enter the Divine. The senses silent, you will sense the Divine. The brain silent, you will understand Him. Your passions silent, you will love Him. Your desires silent, you will possess Him.

The Divine never withdraws from you; it is you who move away from the Divine and imagine the contrary, as the earth might think it is the sun that is moving and not its own self.

You cannot possess the Divine: your movement must not be a grasping-for, the more you grasp at the Divine the farther will it recede from you. Approach with self-abandonment: the greater the abandonment, the closer to you will you find the Divine.

Tamasmeans hoarding for oneself, Rajas squandering for oneself: both mean stealing from the Divine.

Sattvais a sharing with the Divine. Neither steal nor share, but give thyself and all to its Divine owner.

Knowledge and power belong to the Divine and are bestowed when and on whom He chooses; covet them not. But devotion and love are man's and by love and devotion you can enter into divine power and knowledge.

Man is the net that the Divine Fowler has spread to capture the wide and fleet universal physical Nature, so that through him it may be brought under control, tamed and transfigured.

If you think for yourself or feel for yourself or act for yourself, you become a mis-appropriator, a dishonest trustee-a thief of force.

Let the Divine think through you, feel through you and act through you. Then only right and perfect use will be made of the instruments that compose your being.

Let the Divine's Thoughts shine in your mind, Divine's Love swell in your heart, let the Divine's impel your limbs.

Let the taste of Immortality fill my mouth… all mortalities will turn insipid.

A little of Her Grace is sufficient for my little soul; but even if my soul were as big as the entire universe, that self-same little would be more than sufficient to fill it to overflowing.

Thou art the goal, Thou the way.

Thou art Thyself what we have to be; by Thy example Thou showest us how to be.

Thou givest us the power to work and achieve; Thou art That which works and achieves; and that which is achieved in us is Thou.

What is the Truth? The Man who bears the Truth.

Ask me not to test and toil for the Truth: ask me rather to love the Man who bears the Truth.
