No-one knows what the soul is. But what we do know is, the soul is where God works compassion

And so, too, I speak of love: he who is held by it is held by the strongest of bonds, and yet the stress is pleasant. Moreover, he can sweetly bear all that happens to him. When one has found this bond, he looks for no other.

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.

Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.

Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.

I have a capacity in my soul for taking in God entirely. I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God.

When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
