The Power And The Glory

We discover at our heart the power and the glory behind the world. This is the message of Christianity and of all the great religions, that at your heart is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Not because you deserve it. It’s grace. Far from deserving it, on the contrary, it’s a free gift, begging to be noticed. Eckhart – I love Eckhart, the great German mediaeval mystic, a great man, a Dominican – he said, ‘My dear friend, what have you got to lose by doing God the favour of letting Him be God in you?’ Think of that! ‘My dear friend, what have you got to lose by doing God the favour of letting Him be God in you?’ This is the message of all the great mystics of whatever religion, although couched in not such beautiful language. It is awesome and it’s astounding, the Treasure which is so neglected at our hearts. (Interview with Douglas Harding. DVD.)
