INTERIORITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Some relationships are forever, and some
for the duration of a particular function. It depends on the degree of the
interiorisation of the values evinced in the relationship. As we mature in
spirit, we see our friends, living and dead, in a new light, progressively in God with the possibility of getting
more and more isolated, until we reach the final solitude where we attain God
who alone matters. Then solitude and God are co-terminus, which is the highest
greatness. I have the perception that I am edging towards that. All that I
acquired by dint of hard labour in the realms of literature, science and faith
is tending towards the consciousness of pure transparency, which is the glory
of God. Now only total surrender to this absolute transparency will provide the
ultimate definition of what it is to be human. To be lost in it is the
realisation of the constitution of my being, the significance of my self, and
the purpose of my existence.
