"At
the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and
by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to
God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives,
which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our mind or the brutalities of our
own will.
It is in
everybody, and if we could see it we would see these billion points of light
coming together in the face and blaze of a sun that would all the darkness and
cruelty of life vanish completely...I have no program for this seeing. It
is only given. But the gate of heaven is everywhere."
