union with God

Mystical spiritual merger

Union with God is a spiritual state in which the boundary between self and divine dissolves—the soul merging with or being absorbed into God.

The concept appears across religious traditions: Christian mystics describe it as the goal of contemplative prayer, Sufis as *fana* (annihilation of the ego in Allah), Hindus as the realization that *atman* and *Brahman* are one.

She spent years in monastic life seeking union with God.

The phrase implies not mere closeness but complete identification or interpenetration with the divine.
