370.-373.

370 – What is the use of only knowing? I say to thee, Act and be, for therefore God sent thee into this human body.

371 – What is the use of only being? I say to thee, Become, for therefore wast thou established as a man in this world of matter.

372 – The path of works is in a way the most difficult side of God’s triune causeway; yet is it not also, in this material world at least, the easiest, widest and most delightful? For at every moment we clash against God the worker and grow into His being by a thousand divine touches.

373 – This is the wonder of the way of works that even enmity to God can be made an agency of salvation. Sometimes God draws and attaches us most swiftly to Him by wrestling with us as our fierce, invincible and irreconcilable enemy.

In short, the divine grace is so marvellous that, whatever you do, it will lead you more or less quickly towards the Divine Goal.
