Knowing God - merging with him

11/25/2010

How can we know God, since what is limited cannot know what is limitless? Not through our five senses, certainly. We will know God when we enter his immensity, when we merge with him, when we become part of him. As long as a drop of water is separate from the ocean, it cannot know it, but when it returns to the ocean it can no longer be made separate; it has become the ocean, and it knows the ocean. So, as long as human beings remain like separate drops, they cannot understand the immensity and infinity of God. They have to merge, fuse with him and become lost in him. This is how they come to know him, because they become him, they are him. But until then they will remain outside of God, and they will continue to wonder about his existence.
