Guest guest Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Spiritual endeavor must aim at individual illumination, social betterment and divinization of the human community. This is extremely urgent and essential. While in society, the divinity inherent in man can blossom more quickly, more widely, more fragrantly. You recognize the world, but not God who is immanent in it. So, too, you see the individual but not the corpus that is immanent in society. Society is not another concrete composite collective body! It is the expansion and expression of the Divine in each of its components, denotable and enjoyable as One. Society is the awareness of this cognizable Divinity. Hence, the one should not flee from the many; the individual is not harmed by society. The one should rather see the many in a new light---the light which reveals that society is but God, who activates prompts the composite whole. The one is rendered fuller by association with the many; he gains by losing himself in the many! Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XI, P. 215-217.
