Nobody At Any Time Is Cut Off

Spirituality Is Not To Be Learned By Flight From The World, Or By Running Away From Things, Or By Turning Solitary And Going Apart From The World. Rather, We Must Learn An Inner Solitude Wherever Or With Whomsoever We May Be. We Must Learn To Penetrate Things And Find God There.

People Should Not Worry As Much About What They Do But Rather About What They Are. If They And Their Ways Are Good, Then Their Deeds Are Radiant. If You Are Righteous, Then What You Do Will Also Be Righteous. We Should Not Think That Holiness Is Based On What We Do But Rather On What We Are, For It Is Not Our Works Which Sanctify Us But We Who Sanctify Our Works.

There Is Nothing So Much Like God In All The Universe As Silence.

God Is Not Found In The Soul By Adding Anything But By A Process Of Subtraction.

Once A Man Came To Me - It Was Not Too Long Ago - And Said That He Had Given Away Much Landed Property And Many Goods For His Own Sake So That He Might Save His Soul. Then I Thought: 'how Little And How Insignificant Is What You Have Let Go Of! It Is Blindness And Foolishness For You To Continue Looking At All You've Let Go Of. If, However, You've Let Go Of Yourself, Then You've Really Let Go.'
