The heart of the Divine.
“May 17, 1914
O LORD, deliver me from the mental influences which weigh upon me, so that, completely free, I may soar towards Thee.
O Thou, Universal Being, Supreme Unity in perceptible form, through an irresistible aspiration I nestled within Thy heart, then I was Thy heart itself, and I knew then that Thy heart is no other than the Child who plays and creates the worlds. Thou didst tell me, “One day thou wilt be my head but for the moment turn thy gaze towards the earth.” And on the earth now I am the joyful child who plays.
These were the two sentences I wrote yesterday by a kind of absolute necessity. The first, as though the power of the prayer would not be complete unless it were traced on paper. The second, as though the stability of the experience could not be had unless I unburdened my mind of it by noting it down in writing.”
This prayer is about the true spiritual life rather than one that seeks to escape from earth.
This prayer is about the power of Love that purifies, unites and uplifts all things.
In this prayer, we see the experience of deepening Peace leading to the Divine Presence.
