517—O fool of thy weakness, cover not God's face from thyself by a veil of awe, approach Him not with a suppliant weakness. Look! thou wilt see on His face not the solemnity of the King and Judge, but the smile of the Lover. 518—Until thou canst learn to grapple with God as a wrestler with his comrade, thy soul's strength shall always be hid from thee.

Wouldn't it be good, once and for all, to get rid of all our limitations and weaknesses, if we truly want to draw close to the Divine?
