We are part of this great work of God

If we are doing this work of stillness, this work of silence, it is not just for ourselves. It would be very one-sided if we ignored the larger ambient consciousness, the needs of the world around us. The more deeply we go into this work and the work works on us, the more we realise that we are part of this great work of God, which is raising the stillness and knowledge at the heart of human society and of human history, that we are part of this work. We are doing the work, but we are also part of it. We are doing it for ourselves, but we are also doing it for everyone else. It’s a universal work and it’s the most personal work we could possibly do. But no one can do it for us.
