"Attachments prevent the final transformation into divine beauty. Until a person is purified of his clingings, he will not be equipped to possess God... Though John can extol the beauty of creation... he insists that in comparison to the divine beauty the 'grace and elegance of creatures [is] quite coarse and crude.' Hence to cling to the latter makes one incapable of the infinite elegance of God. A person attached to the finite is incapable of transformation into the infinite."
