If we looked for subtle, we would be scared to see what the man looking for his self-interest in all things, behind the other men, in the words , in the works, in the gifts, services. He's always in sight of his personal good: joy, interest, glory, service receive, always some benefit for himself. This seek and pursue the creatures, and also in the service of God no man sees nothing but earthly things, like the woman in turn tells us the gospel, that it was all poured to the ground and could not straighten up (Lk 13 , 4). Our Lord says that "no man can serve two masters, God and wealth" and goes on to say "look before - that is, first and foremost - the Kingdom of God and his righteousness" (Matthew 6,24.33). Be careful therefore to the depths that are within you, and seek only the Kingdom of God and his righteousness - that look that only God is the true kingdom. We want this kingdom and we ask every day in the Our Father. The Our Father prayer is a very high and very powerful. You do not know what you are asking (Mark 10:38). God is the person in his kingdom, the kingdom of all creatures reasonable, the term of their motions and their inspirations. The kingdom we ask, is God himself, in all its richness ...
When he has these provisions, seeking, wanting, desiring only God, himself became the kingdom of God and God reigns in him. In her heart the eternal King then reigning magnificently that supports it and governs it, the seat of this kingdom is in the depths of his soul.
John Tauler (about 1300-1361), Dominican
