There was a famous sculptor in Italy known as Michelangelo. A friend of his found him one day chiseling a big piece of rock. The friend told him: "Why are you working so hard with this rock? Why don't you go home and take some rest?" Michelangelo replied: "I am trying to release the Divine that is in the rock. I wish to bring out of this lifeless stone the living Divinity that is embedded in it." If that sculptor could create out of an inanimate piece of stone a living image of God, cannot human beings vibrant with life manifest the living Divinity that resides in them? - Divine Discourse, April 2nd, 1984. |
