The Law of the Inner Life
Angel
And when he advances still further his nature develops into that of an angel. The nature of the angel is to be worshipful. - He therefore worships God in all creatures; he does not feel to be any greater or better or any more spiritual himself than anybody else.
- In this realization he is the worshipper of all the names and forms there are, for he considers them all the names and forms of God.
- There is no one, however degenerate or looked down upon by the world, who is any less in his eyes.
- In his eyes there is no one but the divine Being; and in this way every moment of his life is devoted to worship.
- For him it is no longer necessary that he must worship God at a certain time, or in a certain house, or in a certain manner.
- There is not one moment that he is not in worship. Every moment of his life he is in worship, he is before God.
- And being before God at every moment of his life he becomes so purified that his heart becomes a crystal where everything is clear. Everything is reflected there, no one can hide his thoughts from him, nothing is hidden from him; all is known as clearly as it is known to the other person, and more so. For every person knows his own condition and yet not the reason, but the spiritual being at this stage knows the condition of the person and the reason behind it. Therefore he knows more about every person than that person knows himself.
