Children of immortal call you, brethren, by that sweet name-heirs of
immortal bliss-yea, the Hindu refuses to call you sinners. Ye are the Children
of God, the sharers of immortal bless, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities
on earth-sinners! It is a sin to call a man so; it is a standing libel on human
nature. Come up, O lions, and shake ff the delusion that you are sheep; you are
souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal; ye are not matter, ye are not
bodies; matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter.
Even this world, this body and mind are superstitions; what infinite
souls you are! And to be tricked by twinkling stars! It is a shameful
condition. You are divinities; the twinkling stars owe their existence to you.
Everything that is strong, and good, and powerful in human nature is
the outcome of that divinity, and though potential in many, there is no
difference between man and man essentially, all being alike divine. There is,
as it were, an infinite ocean behind, and you and I are so many waves, coming out
of that infinite ocean; and each one of us is trying his best to manifest that
infinite outside. So, potentially, each one of us has that infinite ocean of
Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss as our birthright, our real nature; and the
difference between us is caused by the greater or lesser power to manifest that
divine.
This infinite power of the spirit, brought to bear upon matter
evolves material development, made to act upon thought evolves intellectuality,
and made to act upon itself makes of man a God.
Manifest the divinity within you, and everything will be
harmoniously arranged around it.
