Paul Brunton - A Sacred Influx In The Stillness #2

[Guest guest]

Ah, but the victim is too-willing! For he is utterly helpless. He is penetrated through and through with the subtle aroma of those words: "Not my will, but Thine, O Lord, be done." Herein lies the primal felicity. We must needs love the Absolute Good when we perceive it.

 

Helpless, and yet why joyful freedom! The bonds of the personal ego are flung aside by the unseen hand, and with their going goes all care, all anxiety, all concern for the past errors and future uncertainties. The Overself, in announcing its presence, anounces also that It comes as liberator. It commands - and everything mean, petty and cramping shrinks back and dissaperas! It glances - and flowing sea of love, adoration, humility, surges up to Its feet.

 

How soothing is the sense of Its benign enfolding presence! All inner conflict is stilled. The blood no longer wars with the brain; nor passion with thought. When our minds have been totally subdued by logic, we are lost. The divine transcends logic.
