understand once for all that the Divine, when he acts is not moved by human
notions. Possibly he does things even without what we call reason. In any case
the reasons are not of the human kind; above all, the Divine has not that sense
of justice which man has. For example, when you see a man full of greed for
money, trying to cheat people just for the sake of getting a few rupees, your
idea of justice cries out that such a man should be deprived of all money, he
must be reduced to poverty. But actually you find things happening to the
contrary. Although that is only the appearance of the situation; behind there
is an altogether different picture. The greedy gets the object of his greed,
but he has to make an exchange, give up some other possibilities. He gets money
but he loses in his consciousness. And then it also happens very often that
when he does get what he desired so much, he finds himself not so happy,
generally he is even less happy than before: he is tormented by the wealth he
has gained. You must not judge things by apparent success or by apparent
failure. One can say, on the whole, that the Divine gives what one asks for and
that is the best way in which one gets his lesson. If your desire is ignorant,
unconscious, obscure, selfish, you increase in yourself ignorance,
unconsciousness, obscurity and selfishness, that is to say, you move away more
and more from truth and consciousness and happiness, in other words, away from
the Divine. For the Divine, however, there is only one thing which is true, the
Divine Consciousness, the Divine Union. Each time you put material things in
front of you, you

and more material, you push behind more and more the Divine. To the eye of the
ignorant you may have all the appearance of wonderful success, but this
success, from the standpoint of truth, is a terrible defeat, you have bartered
truth for falsehood.</p>

mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>To judge by
appearances, by apparent success is an act of complete ignorance. Even in the
case of a person hardened to the core, who has apparently the utmost success,
there is a counterpart: exactly this hardening, this evil that is put up
thicker and thicker between the outer consciousness and the inner truth becomes
also more and more unbearable. The outer success has to be paid for very
dearly. One must be very great, very pure, one must have a very high, very
unselfish spiritual consciousness to be able to succeed and yet not be
affected. There is nothing so difficult to bear than success. That is the true
test in life. When you are not successful, you turn very naturally to yourself,
go within you, seek there comfort for the outer failure. And they who have the
Flame within them and the Divine helping them truly, that is to say, if they
are mature enough to get the help, if they are ready to follow the path, must
expect blows coming upon them one after another, because that helps. Indeed
that is the most powerful, most direct and most effective help. But if you have
'Success, take care! Ask yourself, at what price you have had it? What is the
thing you have paid for the success? Of course, there are people of a different
kind. They who have gone beyond, who are conscious of their soul, who are
entirely surrender they can succeed and success does not touch them. But one
has to rise very high to be able to shoulder the burden of success. It is
perhaps the last and final test that the Divine puts to anyone. He says:
&quot;Now that you are noble and high and unselfish, you belong to Me alone. I
shall make you triumph. We shall see if you can bear the blow!&quot;</p>

the Asuras too the Divine gives what they ask for. Generally it is in that way
that their end comes all the sooner. An Asura is a conscious being. He knows
that he has an end. He knows that the attitude he has taken in this universe
will necessarily destroy him after a time. Of course the Asura's time is much
longer than human time. Even then he knows that there will come an end for him,
for he has cut himself<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

possible till the day of his doom, when the final defeat comes. And very
possibly if he is allowed his way the defeat will be hastened. That is why
exactly when great things are about to happen, at that moment the adverse forces
become the most active, most violently active and apparently the most
successful. They are given a free field as it were to rush to their doom.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
