Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
— St. Luke 18:28
King James Version of the Bible
I Know
Nothing … p. 40
Quite unknowingly, and to our own peril, we too often let the precious gift of life slip away from us. We are not at fault for this unless or until we realize the error of our ways and fail to act. Failure to act, to consciously set about changing our life for the better, is to deny knowledge of our “other self,” our true spiritual inner Being, such that we may never know ourself; neither the blissful happiness of living in God’s presence and He in ours.
The key to this Elysian state is ever at hand and available to all: in all humility and selflessness, we silently acknowledge to God that we know nothing, while at once surrendering our mortal willfulness to the divine will of God. As we sincerely give ourself over to God we sense His overwhelming presence. Thence do we know our reason for being.
