You are bound to providence in that all events of your life, both the trivial and important, are influenced by it. The higher World-plan, which we call Nature, serves to improve and cultivate us as humans. This Providence, the will of the Infinite One, guides you, disposing all events for your benefit, as long as you love your duty and know the Infinite One. This life is seen as a place of trial and culture, a school for eternity, and is best understood in terms of Providence's guidance. All things must work together for the good of those who are committed to their duty and know the guiding force of the Infinite One. |
