God, who comes to rest in man (W.H. Auden)

 I read a poem by W.H. Auden, "At Schrafft"'and this part struck me:

 

Having finished the Blue-plate Special

And reached the coffee stage,

…A somewhat shapeless figure

of indeterminate age

… our globular furore,

…Which of the seven heavens

Was responsible her smile

Wouldn’t be sure but attested

…That, whoever it was, a god

Worth kneeling-to for a while

Had tabernacled and rested

At the end of that blog (check blog label W.H. Auden) you said; 

God, Who comes to rest in man. This is worth a separate blog, My son.

You then responded to this poem by Auden, Would You like to comment on this now?  

That's what I like to do. Commenting the sentence “God who comes to rest in man”. 

 

God works on the evolution of planets, plant species, animal species and of the intelligent being, man, who becomes the crowning glory of creation. A being who finally consciously and passionately will kneel before God and then recognizes what God has accomplished.  

 

God who waits so many years for this moment, and labours, and tries, and gives, and hopes, and beckons, and bestows and loves and searches for man.  

 

And then there is that man, however void and unsightly, who kneels before God and focuses on God and recognizes God and only then lives in truth at that beautiful and scarce moment.  

 

And then God visits this man.

And God can then rest in a certain way in the sanctuary of man.

And God gets recognition of Its work and knows that it has been accomplished, and that is so together with man. Everything is so accomplished, everything that has been sought for has been achieved. For a moment there is the Kingdom of God on earth. For a moment, creation has come to its senses. For a moment, God can rest and enjoy. Yes in the temple of man, built by man, reached by man, desired by man, and visited by God.

That's where God can rest.

God resides in an emptied soul (John from the Cross)

 

 

"In the soul with the least desires and own pleasures, He is remaining the most alone. The most desired and most wished as in His own house. He rules and governs it and is living the more secretly as He is more alone. From Living flame of love Stanza IV, 14 "

My God,

How can I ever overcome this?

My ego with its endless desires and wishes and frustrations and own things.
is it happening once I am still in my inner self and You are showing Yourself to me. Then there is just a slip of the pen outside or inside myself, and You're gone. Well, actually You have withdrawn Yourself, because You are giving me all freedom, over and over again, to lose myself in my petty little things. To become despondent.

My son, do not lose courage under My leadership. Feel again and again uplifted and inspired. Do not falter, do not doubt. Hold on to your intention to empty yourself before Me. Be vigilant over and over again. Put a guard at the threshold of your mind, and let the world not enter too quickly with its temptations. Choose every time again for Me, cheer up.
And know the number of times you are losing yourself in your little things will occur less. And the number of times you will voluntarily cherish yourself at My bosom will increase.
Go forth, over and over again.

And be not afraid for the moments the problems of life will jump on you like flies. It is precisely at such moments I'll carry you.

And do remember: I prefer to reign in an empty house. What should I compete with the things of the ego? I'm waiting for the surrender of your inner self. That is My wish. Always.
And know this surrender irrevocably will arrive, in everybody’s life.
Be blessed for your intention

My blessings to you all
