There are things that we are supposed to do. It is part of our evolutionary effort. There are things that the Divine has to do. Finally there are things that the gods of fate have to do. What we have today in terms of outer circumstances and inner capacities is what our past karmas have led us to (karma, by the way is an evolutionary mechanism and not a tribunal of reward and punishment). What we shall be tomorrow will depend upon the efforts we put in today. This is the process of evolution and we cannot bypass it. The Divine pushes the gods to mitigate the karma and blunt its effects, He pushes and prompts us to undertake the effort and gives us the strength to go through the process. Finally He adds something all the time that has the power to override everything, something that turns evil into good and uses everything for the soul’s progress. That is the Divine Grace.
Affectionately,
