[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 165503, member: 17438"] [SIZE=3]I think that brother Harry ji might appreciate this peacesign[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"...When I pray for aught, my prayer goes for naught; when I pray for naught, I pray as I ought. When I am united with the God within which all beings exist whether past, present or future, they are all equally near and equally one; they are all in God and all in [I]me. [/I]Then there’s no need to think of Henry or Conrad ([I]or, as we might say, of Tom, Dik and Harry[/I])...Whoever seeks God and seeks anything [I]with [/I]God, does not find God; but he who seeks God alone in truth finds God but he does not find God alone – for all that God can give, that he finds with God...Those who seek anything in God, knowledge, understanding, devotion or whatever it might be – though they may find it they will not have found God. But if they seek nothing, they will find God and all things in him, and they will remain with him...Human beings should seek nothing at all, neither knowledge nor understanding nor inwardness nor piety nor repose, but only God’s will. They should never pray for any transitory thing, but if they would pray for anything, they should pray for God’s will alone, and then they get everything. If they pray for anything else, they will get nothing...Human beings who love God as they ought and must (whether they would or not) [I]must [/I]love their fellow human beings as themselves, rejoicing in their joys as their [I]own [/I]joys, and desiring their honour as much as their [I]own [/I]honour, and loving a stranger as one of their own..." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B][I]- Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), Catholic mystic and Dominican priest[/I][/B][/SIZE] I am so deeply humbled and heartened by how brother Harry's thought, and indeed Sikhi understanding in general, is so close to that of Meister Eckhart and the other Catholic mystics, even thouigh these two religons never mixed in their formative stages, and were sundered by time, space, different cultures and languages. For me this is witness to the universal action of the Holy Spirit, enlightening all, as the Catholic mystic Blessed John Ruysbroeck said: [SIZE=3]"...Now mark this: God being a common good, and his boundless love being common to all [...] his grace is common to all men, whether Pagan or Jew, whether good or evil. By reason of his common love, which God has towards all men, he has caused his Name and the liberation of human nature to be preached and revealed to the uttermost parts of the earth. Whoever wishes to turn to Him can turn to Him [...] Thus God is a common Light and a common splendour, enlightening heaven and earth and every man, each according to his need..."
