Wisdom

"We live in a world bound by these four essential Divine Attributes. We come from God; we return to God; God resides inwardly at the centre of our being; and the world itself is nothing but levels of Divine Presence which, however, is not perceivable as such save with the eye of inwardness. Happy is the person who before he is forced to open his eyes at the moment of death realizes this truth while in this life and with full possession of the gift of free will. Such a person will not but seek to serve, to love and to know God and through the realization thus gained be a true light to the world of service to both human beings and God’s other creatures, lover of the good and the beautiful and of all of God’s creation and locus of that unitive and illuminative knowledge of God which is the ultimate purpose of creation and the fountainhead of all wisdom."

GOD: THE REALITY TO SERVE,
LOVE AND KNOW
