Nobody At Any Time Is Cut Off

One Must Learn An Inner Solitude, Where Or With Whomsoever He May Be. He Must Learn To Penetrate Things And Find God There, To Get A Strong Impression Of God Firmly Fixed On His Mind.

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.

Apprehend God In All Things, For God Is In All Things. Every Single Creature Is Full Of God And Is A Book About God. Every Creature Is A Word Of God.

A Human Being Has So Many Skins Inside, Covering The Depths Of The Heart. We Know So Many Things, But We Don't Know Ourselves! Why, Thirty Or Forty Skins Or Hides, As Thick And Hard As An Ox's Or Bear's, Cover The Soul. Go Into Your Own Ground And Learn To Know Yourself There.

The Shell Must Be Cracked Apart If What Is In It Is To Come Out, For If You Want The Kernel You Must Break The Shell. And Therefore If You Want To Discover Nature's Nakedness You Must Destroy Its Symbols, And The Farther You Get In The Nearer You Come To Its Essence. When You Come To The One That Gathers All Things Up Into Itself, There You Must Stay.
