Relation Is The Essence Of Everything That

Behold How All Those People Are Merchants Who Shun Great Sins And Would Like To Be Good And Do Good Deeds In God's Honour, Such As Fasts, Vigils, Prayers, And Similar Good Deeds Of All Kinds. They Do All These Things So That Our Lord May Give Them Something, Or So That God May Do Something Dear To Them. All These People Are Merchants.

The More Deeply We Are Our True Selves, The Less Self Is In Us.

If We Keep Our Eyes Fixed On God Alone, Then Truly He Must Work In Us And Nothing, Neither The Crowd Nor Any Place Can Hinder Him In This.

Treat All Things As If They Were Loaned To You Without Any Ownership - Whether Body Or Soul, Sense Or Strength, External Goods Or Honors, House Or Hall . . . Everything.

This Then Is Salvation - When We Marvel At The Beauty Of Created Things And Praise Their Beautiful Creator.
