The More Deeply We Are Our True

Even Now One Rarely Hears Of People Achieving Great Things Unless They First Stumble In Some Respect.

Spirituality Is Not To Be Learned By Flight From The World, Or By Running Away From Things, Or By Turning Solitary And Going Apart From The World. Rather, We Must Learn An Inner Solitude Wherever Or With Whomsoever We May Be. We Must Learn To Penetrate Things And Find God There.

Existence Itself Stands In Need Of Nothing, For It Lacks Nothing, Whereas Everything Else Needs It, Because Outside Of It There Is Nothing. Nothingness Stands In Need Of Existence, As A Sick Man Lacks Health And Is In Need. Health Has No Need Of A Sick Man. To Want Nothing, Therefore, Characterizes The Highest Perfection, Is Fullest And Purest Existence.

For A Heart To Be Perfectly Ready It Has To Be Perfectly Empty. In This Condition It Has Attained Its Maximum Capacity.

God Is Nearer To Me Than I Am To Myself; He Is Just As Near To Wood And Stone, But They Do Not Know It.
