The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.

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.

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.

Action and becoming are one.

Nothing will be able to hinder us, if we desire and seek God alone, and take pleasure in nothing else.

I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.

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.
