A man who unites himself with Godthrough concentration, meditation or
inner inquiry acquires the divine natureand becomes a man-God. When God
takes a body with a human mind, He is
a God-man. In the first instance, theman has ascended to God condition; inthe second, God has descended to man
condition.

We may consider the Self as an infinitemass of snow, and from this snow
millions and millions of snow-puppetsare made. These puppets may be
compared to human beings. Just as a
snow-puppet can merge in a mass ofsnow, so a human being can becomeone with the Self through perfection.

The Self is an Infinite Thoughtand we are but particles of
that Thought; when we uniteour thought with the Infinite
Thought, we then knowourselves [as the Self] and are
liberated

God is the All-Knowing Force andman the ignorant force. When the
ignorant attains realisation hebecomes the knower of Truth.Man and God are taken to be two
separate beings through ignorance,but they are known to be one and
inseparable through perfectknowledge.

God is not separate from mannor is man separate from God. It
is a natural condition ofexistence; just as saltiness is
- ,so the soul, which is God, is notseparate from the ego, which is
man.

The soul is the Lord and the bodyis the man; hence, man and God
are ever together although manbelieves he is separate. After
,doing all actions through him; an
unrealised man cannot see the
Lord acting through him.

The seeking process can leadone to discover that God and
man are one. As man is nothingbut Soul, and Soul is nothing
but Space, and Space is nothingbut Self: man is [thus] nothing
but God.

The Lord dwells in all
human beings as Soul; He isactive in those who seek
who do not seek Him; but
those who seek Him attainperfection.

Man! You are a being as seeker;you are a non-being as wind; you
are neither a being nor a non-being as space. You cannot know
yourself through the Self. AndGod too is so and still beyond all
these.

We have all come from theInfinite Light but we have
been made [to appear] likedarkness. When we dispel this
darkness by our constantseeking, we shall come into
the Light again
