Markings -- Dag Hammarskjold

Markings

by Dag Hammarskjold

It is not sufficient to place yourself daily under God. What really matters is to be only under God: the slightest division of allegiance opens the door to daydreaming, petty conversation, petty boasting, petty malice--all the petty satellites of the death-instinct.


   "But how, then, am I to love God?"  "You must love Him as if He were a non-God, a non-Spirit, a non-Person, a non-Substance: love Him simply as the One, the pure and absolute Unity in which is no trace of Duality. And into this One, we must let ourselves fall continually from being into non-being. God helps us to do this."  p.92
