~ 10 ~
For a while, I felt that I could see the whole of the
Universe on the screen of my mind. This was a
great spiritual experience which could not be
expressed in human words. In the beginning, it
seemed as though God, through a little angel, was
saying, “O my servant, do you need anything?”
Then, the matter extended to include the whole
Universe with its Heavens and its Earth.
In fact, it was only a little girl at the door of my
room, asking, “Do you need anything?” but in its
extended sense, it was as if the whole Universe was
asking the same question.
The vast Heaven was saying, “Do you need a
shelter? Here I am to provide you with one, because
God has ordered me to do so.” The gleaming sun
was saying, “Do you need light? I am here to
supply it and transform your darkness into light.”
The majestic mountains were announcing, “Would
you like to be on the highest level in all humanity? I
am here at your service to help you attain that high
position.” The flowing water in the river-beds was
murmuring, “Do you want to have a spiritual bath
to purify your soul? I am here to offer you that.”
