John Ruysbroeck Quote

The indrawing attraction drags us out of ourselves, And calls us to be melted away and naughted in the Unity. And in this indrawing attraction we feel that God wills that we should be His, And for this we must abnegate ourselves and let our beatitude be accomplished in Him. But when He attracts us by flowing out towards us, He gives us over to ourselves and makes us free, And sets us in Time.


From Evelyn Underhill Ruysbroeck (1915), p. 182 & 183 - The Sparkling Stone (c. 1340)
