167 – God within is leading us always aright even when we are in the bonds of the ignorance; but then, though the goal is sure, it is attained by circlings and deviations.
The goal foreseen by theDivine is always attained, but only those whose consciousness is united with the Divine Consciousness attain it directly and knowingly; the others—the vast majority of those who are conscious only of their external being—attain this goal only after having made many detours, which often seemed to be going in the opposite direction.
