"For this reason, whenever you feel
yourself drawn to devote yourself
to this work, and whenever you feel by
grace that you have been called
to do it, lift up your heart toward God
with a meek stirring of love.
And understand by God the God
who made you and formed you
and who has graciously called you
to your present degree; and do
not accept in your mind any other
conception of God. And not even
all of this is necessary, but only
if you are so inclined, for a naked
intent direct to God is sufficient
without anything else."
-The Cloud of Unknowing
14th century contemplative text
