Used by God...

Despite all the high idealistic talk of oneness, brotherhood and egolessness,

each of us is still an individual, still has to dwell in a body of his own, to use a mind of his own and experience feelings of his own.

To forget this is to practise self-deception.

Each will come to God in the end,

but he will come as a purified transformed and utterly changed person,

lived in and used by God,

as he himself will live in and be conscious of the presence of God.
