necessarily has consequences. Actually, everything in the world
        is a question of equilibrium or disequilibrium, of harmony or
        disorder. Vibrations of harmony attract and encourage harmo-
        nious events; vibrations of disequilibrium create, as it were, a
        disequilibrium in circumstances (illnesses, accidents, etc.). This
        may be collective or individual, but the principle is the same
        — and so is the remedy: to cultivate in oneself order and har-
        mony, peace and equilibrium by surrendering unreservedly to
        the Divine Will.

        Divine grace, compassion and the law
            I should like to say something about the Divine Grace — for
        you seem to think it should be something like a Divine Rea-
        son acting upon lines not very different from those of human
        intelligence. But it is not that. Also it is not a universal Divine
        Compassion either, acting impartially on all who approach it
        and acceding to all prayers. It does not select the righteous and
        reject the sinner. The Divine Grace came to aid the persecutor
        (Saul of Tarsus), it came to St. Augustine the profligate, to Jagai
        and Madhai of infamous fame, to Bilwamangal and many oth-
        ers whose conversion might well scandalise the puritanism of
        the human moral intelligence; but it can come to the righteous
        also — curing them of their self-righteousness and leading to
        a purer consciousness beyond these things. It is a power that
        is superior to any rule, even to the Cosmic Law — for all spiri-
        tual seers have distinguished between the Law and Grace. Yet
        it is not indiscriminate — only it has a discrimination of its own
        which sees things and persons and the right times and seasons
        with another vision than that of the Mind or any other normal
        Power. A state of Grace is prepared in the individual often be-
        hind thick veils by means not calculable by the mind and when
