A man ought, therefore, to pass and ascend above everything created, and perfectly to forsake himself and in ecstasy of mind to stand and see that Thou, the Creator of all, infinitely transcendest all creatures.
And this is the reason why there are found so few contemplative persons, because there are few that wholly wean themselves from transitory and created things.
Thomas A' Kempis
The Imitation of Christ
