"In fact, what separates man from divine Reality is but a thin partition: God is infinitely close to man, but man is infinitely far from God.

This partition, for man is a mountain; man stands in front of a mountain which he must remove with his own hands.

He digs away the earth, but in vain, the mountain remains; man however goes on digging, in the name of God.

And the mountain vanishes.

It was never there."

Note: I find the above an interesting view. It is from the book, "Echoes of Perennial Wisdom" by Frithjof Schuon and was sent to me by Mehrdad Zarandi.
