God is COMPLETE

           As I was taking an oral exam with my students; I asked one of my students about what is/was God for him? He answer saying that God is complete to which we cannot neither add anything nor subtract anything from him. Beautiful answer and I began think over it.          Today as I was reading a book Awareness by Anthony de Mello I came across a similar ideas about God. He quotes Meister Echart, "God is not attained by a process of addition to anything in the soul, but by a process of subtraction." We don't do anything to be free, we just drop something of the self then we are free. This has been an eye opener for me to think of God's greatness and my limitedness. In his greatness is our strenght. But not by our will and power. God is therefore, complete in himself and pervades everywhere.
