Quotes About Divine

The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity.

Divine Consciousness is constantly seeking ways to express itself through us.

The higher orders [of angels] are presumed to be closer in their nature to God and to function in roles that serve God more directly than the lower orders, which tend to the administration of the physical universe and the service of humankind.

The majority of people are not awake; it is only here and there that we find one even partially awake.

This solves the problems of the Epicureans , who argue that what is divine neither has trouble itself nor gives trouble to others.

In the recovery movement, they call what I'm talking about letting go and letting God. If you're uncomfortable with the word God, just add an o and make it Good. The two words are interchangeable.
