Man is the individualised expression or reflection of God imaged forth and made manifest in bodily form. How is it, then, I hear it asked, that man has the limitations that he has, that he is subject to fears and forebodings, that he is liable to sin and error, that he is the victim of disease and suffering? There is but one reason. He is not living, except in rare cases here and there, in the conscious realisation of his own true Being, and hence of his own true Self.http://website.lineone.net/~ralphtrine/gtekinx.htm

Summary

This quote suggests that man is a reflection or manifestation of God, living in human form. The limitations, fears, sins, errors, diseases, and suffering experienced by humans are attributed to a lack of conscious awareness of their true nature and purpose. The quote proposes that if individuals truly understood and embraced their inner divine nature, they would transcend these limitations and experience a more fulfilling existence. Only a few individuals are said to achieve this level of conscious realization, while the majority remain disconnected from their true selves and continue to endure hardships and difficulties.
