When one feels that his hand is gripped by the omnipotent hand, he knows that no harm can come to him from any finite source. To feel that we are held always, everywhere, by this divine hand, protected by omnipotent wisdom, steadies the life wonderfully and gives a poise and confidence that nothing else can possibly give.

When we become fully conscious of a real, vital connection between God and man, we shall be self-assured, calm, confident of protection from all possible harm. No financial storms or domestic tempests, no trials or temptations or difficulties that can come into our lives, will disturb our poise. When we are conscious of the union of our true selfhood with the divine, all fear will go out of our lives, because we shall know that we are God-protected, God-defended. When we realize our oneness with God, we cannot be weak or unhappy.

Every time we do wrong, every time we depart from the truth, every time we commit a dishonest, unworthy act, do a mean, contemptible thing, we become a prey to all sorts of fears, apprehensions, dreads, and doubts. Separated from the divine power, we feel as helpless as a little child left alone in the dark.
