Humility

Someone came here just before Christmas.

And after looking around they said:

You must be really proud of having built a place like this.

they

totally

missed it.

How could I tell them?

The only thing that matters when it comes to the direct experience of God

is that you vanish

...completely.

No desire.

No.

Desire.

No ideas of greatness. No exaltation.

Because there are simply no hooks

onto which

you may hang

your pride.
