Quotes:
• Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known. — Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) French polymath [five disciplines]
• The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature. Every man is divine and strong in his real nature. What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself. — Ramana Maharshi [born Venkataraman Iyer] (1879-1950) Indian Hindu sage
Note: Each human is made up of a body, a mind, a personality (with freewill), a soul, and a Spirit. All of which are created by, or come from, the Divine.
Comment: Reducing God to an exclusive Absolute separates the Divine Person to an infinite distance. Evaluating God as an inclusive Absolute allows for the most intimate and best friendship.
Symbol: the meteorite [any object falling from heaven is considered a sacred symbol]
