Chapter 40To Will What the Divine Wills

Surrender: to will what the Divine wills is the supreme wisdom.

* To will what God wills — that is the supreme secret.

* Will one with the Divine will: a condition that triumphs over all obstacles.

* Divine Will — the will expressing the highest Truth.

18 July 1955

* One of the main problems of the present world is that the population has increased enormously in the last 100 years.

(1) How have so many souls evolved in such a short time?

(2) What will be the destiny of the world in regard to its population? Will the numbers go on increasing with the current speed or will there be at a certain period a drop without any artificial means?

(3) In case the population decreases in the future, what will be the fate of so many souls that have evolved so far?

There is a Supreme Consciousness that governs the manifestation. His wisdom is certainly much greater than ours. So we need not bother about what will happen. Blessings.

* The Lord is always victorious — in his own way, not in the human way — according to his own will, not according to the will of men. The Lord is always present — only we do not realise it.

* We are always free to make our proposals to the Lord, but after all it is only His will that is realised.

* If one looks from high enough, whatever one does one never wastes one’s time since one acts according to one’s nature and — without knowing it — according to the will of the Lord.

* Be quiet and offer yourself calmly and confidently. All that happens is always the effect of the Supreme’s Will. Human action can be the occasion but never the cause.
