We know that the cosmos manifests itself out of the divine Mind, and
within it, too. But why there should be such a manifestation at all, we
do not know. Many students raise this query and are dissatisfied at the
failure to obtain a good answer. But the fact is that such questions
cannot be adequately answered on the same plane as that on which they
arise. If we could shift our consciousness to a higher one, we would
find that they simply do not exist there. However, although complete
adequacy may be unattainable, some sort of working answer can be
formulated and used for and by those who are unable to effect such a
shift. If the human entity has no other purpose to fulfil on this earth
than to return to the sphere of its origin, then it had no business to
leave that sphere. There must be something to be gained by its earthly
journey, if the universe has any sense in it at all.
