WHY ?

Let's assume for a moment that God only wants Good for us.

So, why can't He just leave us to our own devices?

Sorry to say it but, the Truth is, we just aren't able to handle Life all by ourselves .

If we're rigorously honest, we can admit we absolutely need God's Manifestations . . .

"These Essences of Detachment, these resplendent Realities are the channels of God’s all-pervasive grace. Led by the light of unfailing guidance, and invested with supreme sovereignty, They are commissioned to use the inspiration of Their words, the effusions of Their infallible grace and the sanctifying breeze of Their Revelation for the cleansing of every longing heart and receptive spirit from the dross and dust of earthly cares and limitations."
