Divinity is to be found in the depth of things, the foundation of things, the profundity of things. We all have a depth, a ground, a presence and there, says Eckhart, lies Divinity, for God is the ground of being and “God’s ground is my ground and my ground is God’s ground.” Thich Nhat Hanh agrees when he says, “all notions applied to the phenomenal worlds…are transcended. The greatest relief we can obtain is available when we touch the ultimate, ‘Tillich’s ‘ground of being.’…Life is no longer confined to time and space.” Thich Nhat Hanh equates “nirvana” and “God” and “ground of being” when he says: “God as the ground of being cannot be conceived of. Nirvana also cannot be conceived of. If we are aware when we use the word ‘nirvana’ or the word ‘God’ that we are talking about the ground of being there is no danger in using these words.”
