God is a Pure No-Thing

God is a pure no-thing,
concealed in now and here:
the less you reach for him,
the more he will appear.
............................................
One Cannot Grasp God

God is the purest naught, untouched by time and space;
The more you reach for Him, the more He will escape.
.................................................
One Must Go Beyond God

Where is my dewelling place? Where I can never stand.
Where is my final goal, toward which I should ascend?
It is beyond all place. What should my quest then be?
I must, transcending God, into the desert flee.
