“We are in bondage to the world and everyone in it as long
as we look to it for that which must come from God and can only come from God.
Fear and worry as to whether or not we have sufficient understanding or wisdom
to discharge our responsibilities are dispelled when we know that it is not our
wisdom or our understanding, but God's wisdom, understanding, justice, and
benevolence that govern all of us. The whole question revolves around the use
and meaning of the words ‘I', ‘me,’ ‘mine’ -- my wisdom, my strength, or my
understanding; your appreciation or your gratitude; and whether or not we have
risen high enough to realize:
<< I am not concerned with whether anybody is grateful or anybody is loving or anybody is just. I renounce all that. I look for love, justice, recognition, reward, and compensation, in, of, and from God. >>
The moment we take that attitude we are free from the
world.”
