Relation is the essence of everything that exists.
As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that; then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.
In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.
Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
Everything is full and pure at its source and precisely there, not outside.
When I experience Love I must go to God. When I experience non-attachment God must come to me.
The soul must long for God in order to be set aflame by God’s love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. To long for the longing is also from God.

This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else.
The now wherein God made the world is as near this time as the now I am speaking in this moment, and the last day is as near this now as was yesterday.
People should not worry so much about what they do but rather about what they are.
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
There is no greater valor nor no sterner fight. He who would be what he ought to be must stop being what he is.
Action and becoming are one.

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.
Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!
He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.
