<span style="font-size:12pt;">GOD is not an autocrat – a despot like the Czar or the
Shahan Shah, pedestalled high above and ruling over his
subject-slaves according to his fancy and caprice, issuing ukases and
firmans which suffer no delay or hindrance in their execution.</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">God is, if he is at all to be compared to a king, more
like a constitutional sovereign. He does not act as he chooses and
pleases. There is a system, a plan, a procedure of governance; there
are principles and laws and rules, and he abides by them. There are
even agents and intermediaries, officers and servants – instruments
through whom he works out his purpose. He is] the supreme </span><I><span style="font-size:12pt;">dharmaraja,</span></I><span style="font-size:12pt;">
the lord and guardian of the Law. Not that he is pound by his
constitution, in the sense that he is a slave to it and cannot alter
it, even when he finds it necessary to do so, but that once the rules
of the game have been laid, he agrees to follow them so long as he
plays the particular game.</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">The Divine does not announce his presence or advent by
miracles, by sudden catastrophes and upheavals. The power, the
knowledge or the love that belongs to him is just like the air that
surrounds us, whose silent and tranquil, yet constant pressure
energises the heart of living things, whose very translucency is the
stuff out of which is fashioned Earth's richly variegated life.</span></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent:0.34cm; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">

move as it chooses. And although the Divine Will in the cosmos acts
as a continuous pressure in the form of the evolutionary urge pushing
inferior Nature gradually towards an unfolding of the Divine's own
Consciousness and Nature, inherent in it and overarching it, yet it
is a force that lies in the background and its fulfilment is only
eventual. There is a long interim period of a full five-act drama in
which the soul, through gathering experiences, freely moves and
explores and seeks, falters and errs, and finally comes to its own;
it comes to realise that the freedom it had, even the freedom to
descend and enter into the region of the Ignorance, was accorded to
it for the play of self-choice, for the joy of self-discovery, for
the delight of self-surrender and self-fulfilment.</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">The Divine has two aspects in its manifestation, the one
in which it is the All, the infinite and equal Brahman, spread wide
as to include the two extremes, Knowledge and Ignorance, Birth and
Death, impartially containing or consisting of the dualities – it
is the Reality that </span><I><span style="font-size:12pt;">is; </span></I><span style="font-size:12pt;">the other is the reality that becomes
– it is not the All, but the Over-All, the Transcendent that
manifests and is being embodied; it is not the duality of Knowledge
and Ignorance, but Supra-knowledge; it is not the duality of Birth
and Death, but Immortality; it is the Divine in its own Truth-Nature
that lies on one side beyond and behind, at the origin, and on the
other, involved and submerged in the play of the All and gradually
emerging out of the All, transforming it and giving it a concrete
form even in the likeness of the original transcendent supra-Nature.</span></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent:0.34cm; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">
<span style="font-size:12pt;">Both the Divines are to be envisaged and established in
one single undivided realisation – the static and equal and
impartial Brahman forming the basis, the unshakable calm and absolute
freedom, and the dynamic emergent Brahman revealing more and more in
the manifested creation a definite divine Purpose and Aim and
Fulfilment, The one accepts and contains everything, for it is
everything; the other, on the basis of that wide acceptation, chooses
and selects, keeps back or dissolves and annihilates, in the
progression of its increasing light,</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">The actual manifestation, the world as it stands, is in
the hands of the Undivine. The Divine has to establish his reign
through a working out of struggling and combating forces. The evil
that man does or suffers from comes from his slavery to the Undivine:
likewise the good that he is capable of doing or receiving is the
sign of his freedom from that slavery and of his openness to the
secret Divine. 
</span></P>
<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent:0.34cm; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">
<span style="font-size:12pt;">The Undivine means the obscure separativeness of the
Ignorance, the darkness of Inferior Nature. The Divine, from his
superior status, has cast himself down and is scattered and
concretised as the ignorant creation, he has consented to be degraded
and imbedded into Matter, in order to quicken Matter gradually, to
illumine and transform it and invest it with the Divine's own glory.
The whole dynamics of creation consists in the interaction of these
two forces, one apparent and pragmatic and patent, the other behind
and involved and latent. The elements and forces of the Ignorance,
while they appear to move in the cycles of their inexorable Law, are
gradually led by the stress of the involved Spirit, to evolve and
change, and finally express and incarnate that which it now negates,
that which is the Spirit unveiled in its pristine authenticity.</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">A day will come when it is the Divine that will reign
upon earth, the Divine in his transcendent Delight and Knowledge and
Power and Purity, and human life shall embody the Law of the Truth.</span></P>

<span style="font-size:12pt;">The thing may not happen today or within a short period,
according to the human standard. Man's smallness, in its impatience,
once could not contemplate a span of more than a few thousand years.
But we have been forced to learn to calculate earth's life and
evolution in astronomical figures, and the human stage is being found
to have extended farther and farther into a dim and immemorial past.
Millenniums are nothing in the march of the cosmic play. Things are
done here in the measures of eternity; it is only the narrowness of

the same.</span></P>
