Never let yourself think that because God has given you many things to do for Himpressing routine jobs, a life full up with duties and demands of a very practical sort
that all these need separate you from communion with Him. God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament; however unexpected its outward form may be receive Him in every sight and sound, joy, pain, opportunity and sacrifice. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Spiritual achievement costs much, though never as much as it is worth. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
We have descended into the garden and caught three hundred slugs. How I love the mixture of the beautiful and the squalid in gardening. It makes it so lifelike. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Many people feel unaware of any guidance, unable to discern or understand the signals of God; not because the signals are not given, but because the mind is too troubled, clouded, and hurried to receive them. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The world of religion is no longer a concrete fact proposed for our acceptance and adoration. It is an unfathomable universe which engulfs us, and which lives its own majestic uncomprehended life: and we discover that our careful maps and cherished definitions bear little relation to its unmeasured reality. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
We spend most of our lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have, and to do. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Have you ever noticed that Jesus is never recorded as taking a holiday? He retired for the purposes of his mission, not from it. He was never destroyed by his work; he was always on top of it. He moved among people as the master of every situation. He was busier than anyone; the multitudes were always at him, yet he had time, for everything and everyone. He was never hurried, or harassed, or too busy. He had complete supremacy over time; he never let it dictate to him. He talked of my time; my hour. He knew exactly when the moment had come for doing something and when it had not. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Man's will and God's grace rise and fall together ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The note we end on is and must be the note of inexhaustible possibility and hope. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
It seems so much easier in these days to live morally than to live beautifully. Lots of us manage to exist for years without ever sinning against society, but we sin against loveliness every hour of the day. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Nothing in all nature is so lovely and so vigorous, so perfectly at home in its environment, as a fish in the sea. Its surroundings give to it a beauty, quality, and power which are not its own. We take it out, and at once a poor, limp dull thing, fit for nothing, is gasping away its life. So the soul, sunk in God, living the life of prayer, is supported, filled, transformed in beauty, by a vitality and a power which are not its own. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
It is significant that many of these experiences are reported to us from periods of war and distress: that the stronger the forces of destruction appeared, the more intense grew the spiritual vision which opposed them. We learn from these records that the mystical consciousness has the power of lifting those who possess it to a plane of reality which no struggle, no cruelty, can disturb: of conferring a certitude which no catastrophe can wreck. Yet it does not wrap its initiates in a selfish and otherworldly calm, isolate them from the pain and effort of the common life. Rather, it gives them renewed vitality; administering to the human spirit not--as some suppose--a soothing draught, but the most powerful of stimulants. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
We are surrounded on all sides by God but often we are no more conscious of him than we are of air pressing against us. We don't turn our attention to Him. (Evelyn Underhill) ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
When the vivid reality which is meant by these rather abstract words is truly possessed by us, when that which is unchanging in ourselves is given its chance, and emerges from the stream of succession to recognise its true home and goal, which is God - then, though much suffering may, indeed will, remain; apprehension, confusion, instability, despair, will cease. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds.
Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The spiritual life is not a special career, involving abstraction from the world of things. It is a part of every man's life; and until he has realised it he is not a complete human being, has not entered into possession of all his powers. It ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Art is the link between appearance and reality. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Grace is God himself, his loving energy at work within his church and within our souls. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
In the created world around us we see the Eternal Artist, Eternal Love at work. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
As to the most prudent logicians might venture to deduce from a skein of wool the probable existence of a sheep; so you, from the raw stuff of perception, may venture to deduce a universe which transcends the reproductive powers of your loom. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The Incarnation, which is for traditional Christianity synonymous with the historical birth and earthly life of Christ, is for mystics of a certain type, not only this but also a perpetual Cosmic and personal process. It is an everlasting bringing forth, in the universe and also in the individual ascending soul, of the divine and perfect Life, the pure character of God, of which the one historical life dramatized the essential constituents. Hence the soul, like the physical embryo, resumes in its upward progress the spiritual life-history of the race. "The one secret, the greatest of all," says Patmore, is "the doctrine of the Incarnation, regarded not as an historical event which occurred two thousand years ago, but as an event which is renewed in the body of every one who is in the way to the fulfilment of his original destiny." 239 ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
We mostly spend [our] lives conjugating three verbs: to Want, to Have, and to Do ... forgetting that none of these verbs have any ultimate significance, except so far as they are transcended by and included in , the fundamental verb, to Be. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Religion, like beauty, cannot be experienced in cold blood. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Love makes the whole difference between an execution and a martyrdom. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction - not merely the idea - that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Saints are the great teachers of the loving-kindness and fascination with God. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
Here we part from the "nature mystics," the mystic poets, and all who shared in and were contented with the illuminated vision of reality. Those who go on are the great and strong spirits, who do not seek to know, but are driven to be. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
No metaphysician has yet shaken the ordinary individual's belief in his own existence. The uncertainties only begin for most of us when we ask what else is. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
It is far easier, though not very easy, to develop and preserve a spiritual outlook on life than it is to make our everyday actions harmonize with that spiritual outlook. For though we may renounce the world for ourselves, refuse the attempt to get anything out of it, we have to accept it as the sphere in which we are to co-operate with the Spirit, and try to do the Will. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The Christian is the person who sees every time and every situation, however dreary and repetitive, as God sees it - a fresh creation from his hand, demanding its own response in perhaps a wholly new and creative way. Under God he is free over it. He has won through to a purchase over events; he has risen with Christ. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Evelyn Underhill Mysticism quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and the art of prayer. ~ Evelyn Underhill
