Immense is the distance that lies between God and a thing. For a thing is that which has separate or individual existence as distinct from the totality of beings. To see a thing is to see something which is detached and isolated. A thing is, furthermore, something which is and can become the possession of man.

It cannot be divided except in our minds. It remains beyond our grasp. It is almost holy. It is not as though these are Jewish thoughts and therefore not applicable to Christians. Quite the contrary.
