The man who leaves money to charity in his will is only giving away what no longer belongs to him

The Divine realm extends to the earthly; but the later, illusory in nature, does not contain the essence of Reality.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote suggests that while the spiritual or divine exists within the physical realm, the physical reality itself is an illusion that does not hold true essence.
Mahavatar Babaji’s quote highlights the distinction between the divine and the material world. It conveys the idea that while the divine presence influences and encompasses the earthly experience, the material world is deceptive and lacks the fundamental truth of reality. This perspective invites individuals to look beyond the superficial aspects of life and to seek deeper spiritual understanding.

Whatever the reason, for most of the present century, the literature and publicity of the old established [animal welfare] groups made a significant contribution to the prevailing attitude that dogs and cats and wild animals need protection, but other animals do not. Thus people came to think of "animal welfare" as something for kindly ladies who are dotty about cats, and not as a cause founded on basic principles of justice and morality.
