\n"Man"<\/font><\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

For those who are afraid
\nof a word: <\/span><\/p>\n

This is what we mean by
\n\u201cDivine”: all the knowledge we have to acquire, all the power we have to
\nobtain, all the love we have to become, all the perfection we have to achieve,
\nall the harmonious and progressive poise we have to manifest in light and joy,
\nall the new and unknown splendours<\/span> that have to be realised<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

7 September 1952<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Divine is indeed
\nwhat you expect of Him in your deepest aspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

What is God? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

God is the perfection that we must aspire
\nto realise<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

8 November 1969 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Divine is the
\nperfection towards which we move. <\/span><\/p>\n

And if you like, I shall
\nlead you to Him very willingly. <\/span><\/p>\n

Have confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n

17 December 1969 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Every being carries
\nwithin him the Divine Inhabitant; and although no being in the whole universe
\nis as weak as man, none is as divine as he. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

The individual existence
\nis a canticle perpetually renewed, that the universe offers to the
\ninconceivable splendour<\/span> of the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

With regard to the
\nTruth, we are all divine; but we hardly know it. And in us, it is precisely
\nthat which does not know itself as divine which we call \u201courselves”.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Our worth lies only in
\nthe measure of our effort to exceed ourselves, and to exceed ourselves is to
\nattain the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Human mediocrity is
\nintolerable. <\/span><\/p>\n

We aspire for a knowledge
\ntruly knowing, for a power truly powerful, for a love that truly loves. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Suffocated by the
\nshallowness of the human nature we aspire to the knowledge that truly knows,
\nthe power that truly can, the love that truly loves. <\/span><\/p>\n

24 April 1964<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Who am I? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Divine under many disguises. <\/span><\/p>\n
