All obstacles will vanish once we release the Divinity within us

Once a husband and wife came to my office for counseling. I said to them, "What is the matter?"
"Well," said the husband, "she hates me, and I hate her."
"Because," I said, "you do not see the God behind your forms. Now, can you look at your wife? And can you look at your husband and by all means try to find the Divinity behind the form, the emotions, the thoughts? Try sincerely, and let us see if you can."
They looked at each other and they shook their heads.
"Come on,"I said, "you are doing good."
They began to look at each other and deep sadness covered their faces and tears came from their eyes, and suddenly they embraced each other.
"Did you see?" I said, "You have discovered the beauty in each other, the God in each other."

All obstacles within our emotional and mental spheres will vanish once we release the Divinity within us.

An increase in knowledge is not the same as expanding the consciousness

Remember that an increase in knowledge is not the same as expanding the consciousness. Unless one expands his consciousness, he cannot use his knowledge for the good of all humanity and the whole Universe.

A materialistic scientist is not aware of Higher Worlds and their relationship to the events happening on earth. His vision is limited; his judgement is horizontal, and therefore he is doomed to failure. Unless every action is considered in relation to Higher Worlds and the distant future, man is condemned to failure or even to suicide.
