God's True Friends

God is not good, or else he could be better.

~ Meister Eckhart

The great mystics have been critics of the injustices perpetrated by the status quo--whether of religion or state. And if, in the end, responsibility for injustice can be laid at the feet of God, the great mystics, as the true Friends of God, have not been shy to do so.

Those who claim to have achieved mystical insight that allows them (conveniently) to rationalize those injustices (on behalf of religion, state, or God) lack the intimacy with the Divine of the great mystics.
