I Sought Only For The Heart Of God, Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Only with the annihilation of selfhood
comes the fulfillment of love.

About his austere and steadfast quest,
when a mystic asked,
would probably reply like Jacob Boehme:
“I am not come to this meaning
or to this work and knowledge
through my own reason
or through my own will and purpose;
neither have I sought this knowledge
nor so much as to know
anything concerning it.

I sought only for the heart of God,
therein to hide myself” (Boehme, Jacob, Aurora, English translation,1764, P.237) .
