Someone here, whose name is S., a man over forty (oh, yes, much older than that, I think he is approaching fifty), has been learning French, but so energetically that he writes French really remarkably. He regularly sends me questions in French, and because of the care with which he writes, I reply. The other day, he wrote to me (I forget his exact words, but it was very well put) that he had just realized that aspiration for progress and the result of the aspiration were both the divine Grace, the effect of the divine Grace.... So I thought, "Well, well, let me see if he knows French well enough to have a sense of humor." And I replied this:

"One could say humorously that we are all divine

but scarcely know it, and it is just what in us does

not know it or is unaware of being divine that we

call ourselves!"


I'll see his reaction.

Afterwards something came, and I wrote it in its definitive form (in English it's better):

"For the Truth-vision all of us are divine, but we

scarcely know it and in our being it is just what

does not know it that we call ourselves."

I told you there is someone here learning French (and learning it very well, I must say) whom I answered with a joke to see if he had a sense of humor. And the next day he, in turn, sent me a joke!

"In the work of transformation, who is slower in

doing his work, man or God?"

My answer:

"To man, God is too slow in answering his prayer.

" To God, man is too slow in opening to His influence.

" But to the Truth-Consciousness, everything is going

as it should!"

(Mother laughs)
