Master's words - Delight

[Guest guest]

The meeting of man and God must always mean a penetraion and entry

of the divine into the human and a self immergence of man in the

Divinity

 

But that immergence is not in the nature of an annihilation (neti-

neti).Extinction is not the fulfilment of all this search and

passion, suffering and rapture. The game would never have been

begun if that were to be its ending.

 

Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and you shall learn of

God.

 

What then was the commencement of the whole matter? Existence that

multiplied itself for sheer delight of being and plunged into

numberless trillions of forms so that it might find itself

innumerably.

 

And the middle?? Division that strives towards a multiple unity,

ignorance that labours towards a flood of varied light, pain that

travails toards the touch of an unimaginable ecstasy. For all thses

things are dark figures and perverse vibrations.

 

And what is the end of the whole matter? as if honey could taste

itself and all its drops together and all its drops could taste each

other and each the whole honeycomb as itself, so sould the end be

with God and the soul of man and the universe.

 

Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Power is the strain,

Knowledge is the performer, the infinite All is the composer and

audience. We know only the preliminary discords which are as fierce

as the harmony shall be great; but we shall arrive surely at the

fugue of the divine beatitudes.
