When we come to know God, the initiative is on his side. If it does not show itself, nothing enables us to find it. And indeed, he shows much more of himself to some than to others - not because he has favorites, but because he cannot show himself to a person whose whole soul and character are not in the right state. Just as the sun's rays are not reflected, even though they have no favorites, in a dusty mirror as brilliantly as in a clear one.

Hungarian

"Amikor Isten megismeréséhez jutunk el, a kezdeményezés az ő oldalán van. Ha nem mutatja meg magát, semmi sem tesz képessé bennünket arra, hogy megtaláljuk. S valóban, egyeseknek sokkal többet mutat meg önmagából, mint másoknak - nem azért, mert vannak kedvencei, hanem mert olyan embernek nem tudja megmutatni magát, akinek egész lelke és jelleme nincs a megfelelő állapotban. Mint ahogy a napsugarak sem tükröződnek, noha nincsenek kedvenceik, poros tükörben olyan ragyogóan, mint a tiszta tükörben."
