\nRelationship
\nwith the Divine <\/span><\/font> <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

All is relative except
\nthe Supreme. The Supreme alone is absolute; but as the Supreme is at the centre
\nof each being, each being carries in himself his absolute. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After all, it is very
\nsimple, we have only to become what we are in the depths of our being. <\/span><\/p>\n

18 May 1954 <\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n

There is nothing more
\nbeautiful than to unite with the divine Consciousness. <\/span><\/p>\n

One is sure to find what
\none seeks <\/span>―<\/span> if one seeks it in all sincerity; for what one seeks is within
\noneself. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

None can say to the
\nDivine, \u201cI have known Thee”, and yet all carry Him in themselves, and in the
\nsilence of their soul can hear the echo of the Divine’s voice. <\/span><\/p>\n

13 November 1954 <\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n

One can live the Divine
\neven though unable to express the Divine, one can realise<\/span>
\nand be the Divine’s infinity though unable to define or explain the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

15 December 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n

For him who is in union
\nwith the Divine, everywhere is the Divine’s perfect felicity, in every place
\nand in every circumstance it is with him. <\/span><\/p>\n

17 December 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n

\n―<\/span> 19<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Communion with the
\nDivine: for him who has it, all circumstances can truly become an opportunity
\nfor it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The joy of perfect union
\ncan come only when what has to be done is done. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTo conquer the Divine is a difficult task.” I think I have not
\nunderstood this sentence properly. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take conquer in the sense of
\n\u201cacquisition” or \u201cpossession”. You might say ―<\/span> the
\nconquest of the Divine’s consciousness is a difficult task. <\/span><\/p>\n

Commentary: For human
\nbeings to become conscious of the Divine and to possess His nature is
\ndifficult. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As we progress and
\npurify ourselves of our egoism, our friendship with the Divine becomes more and
\nmore clear and conscious. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friendship with the
\nDivine: delicate, attentive and faithful, ever ready to respond to the smallest
\nappeal. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Closeness to the Divine
\nwill always grow with the growth of consciousness, equanimity and love. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n―<\/span> 20<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

God cannot be taken by
\nviolence. It is only through love and harmony that you can reach God. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be in peace <\/span>―<\/span> my blessings are with you. <\/span><\/p>\n

13 July 1966<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Attachment for the
\nDivine wraps itself around the Divine and finds all its support in Him so as to
\nbe sure never to leave Him. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Affection for the
\nDivine: a sweet and confident tenderness that gives itself unfailingly to the
\nDivine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intimacy with the
\nDivine: complete surrender to the Divine and total receptivity to His
\ninfluence, without any conditions to this intimacy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intimacy with the Divine
\nin the physical is possible only for the one who lives exclusively by the
\nDivine and for the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intimacy with the Divine
\nin the vital: only a pure, calm and desireless<\/span> vital
\ncan hope to have access to this marvellous<\/span> state. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intimacy with the Divine
\nin the psychic: the natural state of the fully developed psychic. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage
\n<\/span>
\n―<\/span> 21<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Integral intimacy with
\nthe Divine: the entire being no longer vibrates except with the Divine’s touch. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It pleases Him to be
\nlike that. He is like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

And simply, the secret
\nis to be in the \u201cit pleases Him”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not to be only what is
\nobjectified; to be also in That which objectifies. That is everything. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Omnipresent, Eternal
\nSpirit remains immutably One. The various ways of serving and understanding It
\nmake no difference to Its Reality. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(Types
\nof relationships<\/i>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lord and his Shakti<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

God and his devotee <\/span><\/p>\n

The father and his child
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The master and his
\ndisciple <\/span><\/p>\n

The Beloved and Lover <\/span><\/p>\n

The Friend and co-worker
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The child and his mother <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give oneself to the
\nDivine, to receive and be the Divine, to transmit and spread forth the Divine:
\nthese are the three simultaneous movements which constitute our total relation
\nwith the Divine.<\/span> <\/p>\n
