Man is divine by nature. Either as created in the image of God, or as his spark or one with him, the essential nature of man can never lose this perfection. There is no such thing as sin, which can change the quality of the soul. The wicked action of a man may impose a veil upon the divine nature, but can never destroy it. God exists in us as potentiality and possibility. An action is called good or moral that helps us rediscover this hidden divinity. and action is immoral or bad which conjures up before us the appearance of manifoldness. The experience we gather at the physical, mental or aesthetic level does not belong to our real soul. They may be called at best a mixture of truth and falsehood. Through this inscrutable ignorance, we behave as if we were corporal beings. We have hypnotized ourselves into thinking that we are imperfect and limited and that we exist in time and space, subject to the law of causation. The aim of religion is to de-hypnotize ourselves and make us aware of our divine heritage.
