I thought of what Swami Tadatmananda said - as we get enlightenment or realization quickly, and then the long process of integration. And 'the divine spark is limited by the qualities of the body.'

Quote:

“Heaven and earth shall pass away” means that they will not continue to exist as separate states. ²My word, which is the resurrection and the life, shall not pass away because life is eternal. ³You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. ⁴This is how a man must think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is.

⁴Spirit is in a state of grace forever.
⁵Your reality is only spirit.
⁶Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.

Quote:

Now you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with far less vigilance; with little effort and with little time, and with the power of God maintaining it, and promising success. ²Yet of the two, it is this one you find more difficult. ³The “sacrifice” of self you understand, nor do you deem this cost too heavy. ⁴But a tiny willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you find a burden wearisome and tedious, too heavy to be borne. ⁵Yet to the dedication to the truth as God established it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and all the power of Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to provide the means, and guarantee the goal’s accomplishment.
