“When one realizes God, He grants knowledge and illumination from within; one knows it oneself. In the fullness of one's spiritual realization one will find that He who resides in one's heart, resides in the hearts of others as well - the oppressed, the persecuted, the untouchable, and the outcast.” KnowsWellsHeartGodSpiritualRealizingOneselfRealizationGrantsOppressedFullnessIlluminationOutcastPersecutedUntouchables Author:Sarada Devi

“As it is with spiritual discoveries and affections given at first conversion, so it is in all subsequent illuminations and affections of that kind; they are all transforming. There is a like divine power and energy in them as in the first discoveries; they still reach the bottom of the heart, and affect and alter the very nature of the soul, in proportion to the degree in which they are given. And a transformation of nature is continued and carried on by them to the end of life, until it is brought to perfection in glory.” FirstsHeartKindStillsSoulEndsSpiritualEnergyGivenDivineDegreesGloryDiscoveryPerfectionTransformationBottomAffectionConversionProportionTransformingIlluminationEnd Of LifeDivine Power Book:A treatise concerning religious affections.
