God has been working in silence, unobserved and unnoticed

 

 

Actually, everything in the evolutionary creation is wrought solely by the Infinite Power of God, Who works in eternal silence — from behind the screen as it were — unknown, unfelt and even unsuspected by most players who are in the passing flashlight of the stage.

In fact, everyone without exception has his true existence only in, and as, this Limitless Being of God as Absolute Truth. But it is like having some hidden treasure, which, although in our possession, is as good as nonexistent, as long as it remains unknown. The sole purpose of evolutionary creation is to place the soul in conscious possession and enjoyment of this infinite treasure. In the Perfect Ones, God works toward this end consciously. But it is He alone who works through everyone and everything else; and, although this work is mostly unconscious, it also leads to the same end.

This may be clarified with the analogy of breathing. Breathing is the very basis of life, and the stopping of breath means dropping the physical body, without terminating the existence of the soul. But this breathing is for the most part carried on unconsciously, and we become conscious of it only in cases of exceptional effort. In the same way, God’s working through the evolutionary processes is mostly unconscious and silent, and the stopping of this working brings about the end (pralaya) of creation, without terminating the existence of God Himself. God becomes conscious of His working only in the rare cases of the God-Men who own and enjoy Godhood in Life Eternal.

For ages and ages, God has been working in silence, unobserved and unnoticed, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence.
