59. Shadows of Knowledge, Power, Bliss

God has three Infinite aspects: Knowledge, Power, Bliss. It is from
these that man derives his three finite aspects of mind, energy,
matter.
The three aspects of God are interlinked; Bliss depends on Power
and Power depends on Knowledge. Similarly, the three aspects of
man are interlinked; matter depends on energy and energy
depends on mind.
As a human being you are one homogeneous entity of these three
finite aspects (mind-energy-matter), which are but the shadows of
the three Infinite aspects of God (Knowledge-Power-Bliss).

60. The World is a Prison

The world is a prison in which the Soul experiences being behind the bars of its gross-subtle-mental body—the Soul, eternally free, lone Sovereign and supreme Lord! Illusion's hold is so strong that the Soul experiences itself as serf rather than Soul. Illusion stages the Lord's imprisonment so perfectly and establishes His serfdom so convincingly that even at the moment when the Perfect Master bestows His Grace on the Soul it experiences itself as breaking out through the bars of a prison which never existed. The Soul's apparent imprisonment becomes so suffocatingly unbearable that it—by the Master's Grace—literally tears itself free; and the feeling of exultation is as powerful as was its feeling of suffocation. The experience of both imprisonment and release is of Illusion; but the experience of the final Freedom is of Reality. The emancipated Soul then experiences continuously and eternally its own infinite freedom. The world exists only as long as the Soul experien...

63. The Working of the Avatar

The Avatar draws upon Himself the universal suffering, but He is sustained under the stupendous burden by His Infinite Bliss and His infinite sense of humour. The Avatar is the Axis or Pivot of the universe, the Pin of the grinding-stones of evolution, and so has a responsibility towards everyone and everything. At each moment in time He is able to fulfil singly and together the innumerable aspects of His universal duty because His actions are in no way constrained by time and distance and the here and now of the senses. While engaged in any particular action on the gross plane He is simultaneously working on all the inner planes. Unlike the actions of ordinary men, the Avatar's every action on the gross plane brings about numberless and far-reaching results on the different planes of consciousness. His working on the inner planes is effortless and continues of itself, but because of the very nature of grossness His work on the gross plane entails great exertion. As a rule each act...

58. Truth is of God, Law is of Illusion

                    There are two things: Truth and Law.                    Truth belongs to God, Law belongs to Illusion. Illusion is infinitely vast yet it is governed by Law. The 'law of cause and effect', which none can escape, belongs to this Law.                    Law is bondage. Truth is Freedom.                    Law upholds Ignorance. Truth upholds Reality.                   Law governs imagination which binds you to Illusion.                   Truth sets you free from Illusion. Although it is the nature of imagination to run riot, it is restricted to the definite and minutely precise pattern of bindings created and upheld by the law of bondage. The moment imagining ceases, the shackles of t...
