The Hiddenness Of God Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

No external work
of the individual
can penetrate
the hiddenness of God.

Even when one succeeds in
boring into his inward being,
his own effort can bring him
only into an empty void.

If you succeed in emptying
your mind of every thought
and every desire,
you may indeed withdraw
into the center of yourself
and concentrate on everything
within you upon the imaginary
point where your life
springs out of God,
yet you will not really find God.

No natural exercise
can bring you into
vital contact with Him.
