My greatest struggle is summed up well by this entry from Thomas a' Kempis, "The Imitation of Christ", Book 3 found on OurDailyBlog.

TO FIND THE CREATOR, FORSAKE ALL CREATURES

THE DISCIPLE: O LORD, I am in sore need still of greater grace if I am to arrive at the point where no man and no created thing can be an obstacle to me.

I know not what it is, or by what spirit we are led, or to what we pretend -- we who wish to be called spiritual -- that we spend so much labor and even more anxiety on things that are transitory and mean, while we seldom or never advert with full consciousness to our interior concerns.
