The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.

It is not by your actions that you will be saved, but by your being.

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 outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.

For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.

Nobody at any time is cut off from God.

I am what I wanted and I want what I am.
