THE TRIAL OF MAN

The Trial of Man ~ 124 ~ for being the recipient of God’s divine light. His act of self prostration is the real meeting point with the Lord of the Universe. If, on the contrary, one is arrogant and self-centered in one’s day-today activities, one’s self-prostration is a hollow act, and as such, will not bring one closer to God. Satan will have taken possession of one’s heart and one’s posture of humility will be bereft of soul. We must never forget that Satan lies ever in wait. “Because you have led me into sin,” said Satan, “I will waylay them as they walk on Your straight path, and spring upon them from the front and from the rear and from their right and from their left. Then you shall find the greater part of them ungrateful.” “Begone,” said God, “a despicable outcast. With those that follow you, I shall fill the pit of Hell.”
