The Hiddenness of Divinity

From mystic, oral, or scriptural traditions of varied faiths:

"Vere tu es Deus absconditus."

"Truly, you are the hidden God."
- From the Nova Vulgata text of the Catholic Church
کنت کنزاً مخفیاً فأحببت أن أعرف فخلقت الخلق لکی أعرف 

"I was a hidden treasure; I loved to be known. Hence I created the world so that I would be known."
- The Hadith of the Hidden Treasure [a hadith qudsi]
"The words of Scripture suffice; in the face of mystery, I’m content to stay silent."
- The Ballad of Midnight and McRae
This page is a project in progress. I will continue to include quotes.
