Divine and human will...

The difference between the divine and the human will is like the difference
between the trunk of a tree and its branches. As from the boughs other twigs and
branches spring, so the will of one
powerful individual has branches going through the will of other individuals. So
there are the powerful beings, the masters of humanity. Their will is God's
will, their word is God's word, and yet they are branches, because the trunk is
the will of the Almighty. Whether the branch be large or small, every branch has
the same origin and the same root as the stem.
