03. Basic Requisites of the Path

Fragment ID: 1024

Each person has his own freedom of choice up to a certain point – unless he makes the full surrender – and as he uses the freedom, has to take the spiritual or other consequences. The help can only be offered, not imposed. Silence, absence of frank confession, means a desire in the vital to go its own way. When there is no longer concealment, when there is the physical self-opening to the Divine, then the Divine can intervene.
