Whoever has God truly as a companion, is with him in all places, both on the streets, and among people, as well as in church, or in the desert or in a monastic cell...Why is this so? It is so because such a person possesses God alone, keeping their gaze fixed upon God, and thus all things become God for him or her. Such people be a God in all their deeds and in all the places they go, and it is God alone who is the author of all their deeds.

Know that when you seek anything of your own, you will never find God, because you do not seek God purely. You are seeking something along with God, and you are acting just as if you were to make a candle out of God in order to look for something with it. Once one finds the things one is looking for, one throws the candle away. This is what you are doing.

The greatest power available to man is not to use it.

Everything is full and pure at its source and precisely there, not outside.

Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness

God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
