As for the Divine and the human, that also is a mind-made difficulty. The Divine is there in the human, and the human fulfilling and exceeding its highest aspirations and tendencies becomes the Divine. ... When the Divine descends, he takes upon himself the burden of humanity in order to exceed it-he becomes human in order to show humanity how to become Divine. But that cannot be if there is only a weakling without any divine Presence within or divine Force behind him-he has to be strong in order to put his strength into all who are willing to receive it. There is therefore in him a double element-human in front, Divine behind-and it is that which gives the impression of unfathomableness of which you complained. If you look upon the human alone, looking with the external eye only and not willing or ready to see anything else, you will see a human being only-if you look for the Divine, you will find the Divine.
