Trust Not Our Own Rationality To Lead Us To Truth. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

We cannot trust our own
rationality to lead us to truth.

„A man should flee his senses,
turn his powers inward
and sink into an oblivion
of all things and himself…
Withdraw from the unrest
of external activities
then flee away and hide
from the trumoil of
inward thoughts,
for they but create discord"
(Meister Eckhart, Sermons and Treatises, Vol.1, Sermon 1, translated and edited by M. O'C. Walshe, P.7) .
