helplessness of the mind to know the divinity. So we need to have this helplessness along with the restlessness to reach the Goal of complete Oneness with the Master/Divinity. I would also like to mention one of the extract from the Master’s book here, which I thought, was relevant.
“Divine help does come, no doubt, but only when the supreme is convinced of Devotee’s earnestness of purpose” (IB – Pg: 30 2005 edition)
As I understand the above statement, first we should feel the helplessness to know the divinity. How do we feel this helplessness? Before this, first & foremost thing, we should fix our Goal which is complete oneness with God/Master. Unless & until we fix the goal, we will not be able to feel the helplessness. Then once we realize that it is not possible to achieve the goal with mere self- effort, we come to know our inability to know the Divinity & then we feel this helplessness. This leads to our dependency on the Master & as it increases, it gradually reaches a stage of complete surrender to Him in Toto. This is what it means when the Master mentions “Devotee’s earnestness of purpose” as per my understanding. Once we have this earnestness, then we will get the Divine help. As Master says in one of the messages, “ When we have played our part fully well, the ultimate cannot fall short in playing His part. That is the Justice of Divinity”. As I understand, one should never forget his duty. What is our Divine Duty? We must be in His remembrance all the time. As Master says we have to treat all actions & work to be part of divine duty entrusted to us by Him. So, when we have done our duty, Divinity will surely play Its part and that is the Justice of Divinity.
