Call it God,
Or call it Zen,
What do you care ?
Where there’s nothing left,
There’s nothing left,
And there it is

« A man shall become truly poor
and as free from his creaturely will as he was when he was born.
And I say to you, by the eternal truth, that as long as ye desire
to fulfil the will of God, and have any desire after eternity and
God; so long are ye not truly poor. He alone has true spiritual
poverty who wills nothing, knows nothing, desires nothing. »
–From Meister Eckhart as quoted by Inge in « Light, Life, and Love »

Thank you for quoting M. Eckaert..
Poverty as emptiness
This is also the understanding of Thomas Merton…very inspiring.

I know nothing, which is almost as little as I care. There it isn’t…
