Cosmic order - what we risk by not respecting it

03/17/2010

Cosmic Intelligence is patient, but we cannot rebel against its laws with impunity; the time is bound to come when we will be destroyed. 'Cosmic Intelligence is really cruel,' you will say, 'if it destroys the creatures that resist it.' No, Cosmic Intelligence is not cruel; it has never intended to destroy anybody. But if, through ignorance or ill will, people clash with the order it has established, the forces they confront are so powerful they will be knocked down. If some poor devil believed he could stand up to a whole army, he would soon be felled. And if a bird crashes several times into a window pane and falls senseless to the ground, it is not the glass that is to blame. Humans act with as little foresight as that bird: they fight against the divine laws, against the splendour of the universe, without suspecting that what awaits them is their undoing. It is not Cosmic Intelligence, not God, destroying them but they themselves, because they thought they could resist powers greater than themselves.
