it.'
Unless it becomes a question of life and death
One never finds it.
But you have some in the right hands.
Nothing to be worried.
-- How long will you be here?

(To Grazia) -- This is your name: Ma Deva Grazia.
Deva means divine. Grazia means grace.
Beauty is human, grace is divine.
Beauty is earthly, it is of the body, of the form
Grace is of the spirit, of the formless
It is unearthly;; it can appear on the earth
but is does not belong to the earth.
It happens only when one is ready
To receive god into one's heart --
To a Jesus, to a Buddha, to a Lao Tzu.
Once you become empty of yourself
God rushes in, fills you, starts overflowing
Because we are too small and he is so vast.
That overflowing divineness
Is felt as grace by others.
Something starts radiating
From the person whose heart is full of god.
Only those who are utterly blind
May not be able to see it, but if they have even
Just a little bit of intelligence
They will be able to feel it.
And grace is not something that can be proved
Because it is immaterial, immeasurable.
Science can have no approach, it is not an object.
Hence if somebody wants to deny
It is very easy to deny; to say that Jesus is mad
Not god-possessed, but simply insane
Is very easy; it can be proved.
But to prove that he is god-possessed
it almost impossible, because even god cannot be proved.
Cannot be proved
