There is a God-shaped vacuum in every heart (Blaise Pascal)



Would You like to comment on this quote?

It is indeed a vacuum, because the ego, the selfish will, the self-sufficiency of the primitive man will find in the heart approaching God a vacuum. One can only lose control and lose oneself. But a spiritually developed man does not experience a vacuum but a sanctuary, a place of peace. In the middle of the heart, and one feels that God always dwells there, always waits, always invites, if you are willing to come with empty hands. For how can God fill full hands?

A primitive man experiences a vacuum because what happens to him when life blows everything out of his hands, that's a pure experience of a vacuum, if one is identified with the full hands. But a developed man comes with empty hands and adheres to the gifts of God. And does not know how quickly to pass those gifts to others and then to return to God with empty hands.
Blaise Pascal is blessed.
 
My blessings to you all
