Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!
God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul – in the innermost of the soul.
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.
Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God’s will, you do not love Him.
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
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.
The soul at its highest is found like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God.
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.
