The Importance of Knowing Oneself and God Within
Understanding the truth that the Lord is within us is crucial, as not realizing this leads to misconceptions of a distant God. The focus should be on enduring values and constant prayer, keeping thoughts fixed on the divine. In moments of quiet prayer, the will should remain in a state of peace without forcing understanding back, allowing the Lord to bring His presence, granting peace. In this supernatural state, the soul's faculties are stilled to solely love God, with no need for mental exertion.
