Whether he admits it or not, man is connected to the divine life. The tragedy for many of them is that they do not recognize it. Stagnating in the darkness of ignorance, they continue to deny it. Headlights mark out their way and they do not try to understand why they are there, trying to enlighten them.

"Life's mystery is too big for man irrespective of his understanding faculties in this area. The secret is well kept and it crops up to the desired level of consciousness, when the inner being is ready to accept it. God appears in the hearts at the right moment, when He so decides. Not everyone is touched by the grace from his youth, and many can reach the end of their life without ever receiving it. Why is it so? Divine laws are abstract. They are completely beyond man's understanding. Why the rose, why the jasmine or the violet, which humbly hide at the end of the way?

"Diversity belongs to creation. It is its main characteristic. One of its fundamental aspects is that the divine presence is in everything, no matter whether it is perceived or not. This detail does not seem important in this vast set up. The divine life exists, beyond any perception, and it appears in each one, for the good of all. Men only grasp a negligible part of reality; one might as well say nothing. God is great, His wisdom is infinite and the human being, much too small and limited to understand the rules which could define it."
