Why Being Fragments

"You said being fragments because of love, using the analogy of a woman giving birth. But a woman can see and hold and love her child. How can infinite being do this if it can only know the finite through a finite mind? Rupert says: ‘Infinite being doesn’t know the finite the way a mother knows her child. The mother is a finite self knowing another finite self. Infinite being doesn’t know the finite directly – it knows it through the agency of each of our minds. We are the eyes and ears through which infinite being knows its creation. It’s not a perfect analogy because all analogies use finite examples to illustrate the infinite. The impulse in being to manifest is the same impulse in a woman to have a child – love overflowing, wanting to express itself. But the mechanism through which infinite being knows its creation is different from how a mother knows her child.’"
