As A Drop Of Water, Drowned In A Great Quantity Of Wine.

Rating: 5.0


Suso writes:
„When the good and the faithful servant
enters into the joy of the Lord…
he disappears and loses himself in God,
and become one spirit with Him,
as a drop of water which is drowned
in a great quantity of wine.

For even as such a drop disappears,
taking the colour and taste of wine,
so it is with those who are in full
possession of blessedness.

All human desires are taken from them
in an indescribable manner, they are
rapt from themselves, and are immersed
in the Divine Will…. His ‚being‘ remains,
but in another form, in another glory,
and in another power. And all this is
the result of entire and complete
renunciation".

(Heinrich Seuse,
Buchlein der Warheit, Chp.iv)

Drop of water.. great quantity of wine...mystical love, mystical philosophy. Let it be quoted... All human desires are taken from them in an indescribable manner, they are rapt from themselves, and are immersed in the Divine Will…. His ‚being‘ remains, but in another form, in another glory, and in another power. And all this is the result of entire and complete renunciation. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
