The bliss of life is attained through the practice of divine goodness. Divine goodness is a requirement deed of every human. The divine goodness leads on to the human virtue which in turn leads on to transcendent virtue. Transcendent virtue leads on to Truth.The divine goodness is the pathway to the knowledge of Truth and this pathway is known as the Divine Way. It is, however, not a means to an end as Truth itself transcends it upwards and beyond, to infinity.
The Divine Way, is simply that. It is the Way to the attainment of true virtue that is only attained through the practice of divine goodness.
Man aspires for transcendent virtue, but only a few arrive to its diadem- the beatific virtue. This is so because even though all in this course apply the aspect of doing good and are ardent to the gaining of personal heaven, yet have been found to fail miserably in the sacrifice of self.
The failure is attributed to the mistaken identity of transcendent virtue to the human virtue and therefore fail to enjoy the drink of water from the River of Knowledge that contains, amongst other ingredients, transcendent felicity; for to have transcendent virtue is to have transcendent felicity.
Man is obliged to eradicate this error with the sacrifice of self to enjoy in the attainment of the transcendent felicity of virtue.
