"We think and even say: why doesn't God tell us in words what he wants from us? But we forget that only we, in our weakness, speak with inaccurate, insufficient, one-sided words. And God has another language, another means of transmitting his will. This means is the whole life of the outer world and all that has been invested in our soul.

We think and even say: why doesn't God tell us in words what he wants from us? But we forget that only we, in our weakness, speak with inaccurate, insufficient, one-sided words. And God has another language, another means of transmitting his will. This means is the whole life of the outer world and all that has been invested in our soul.
""Gândim și chiar rostim: de ce Dumnezeu nu ne spune prin cuvinte ce vrea de la noi? Dar uităm că numai noi, în slăbiciunea noastră, vorbim prin cuvinte inexacte, insuficiente, unilaterale. Iar Dumnezeu are alt limbaj, alt mijloc de transmitere a voii sale. Acest mijloc este întreaga viață a lumii exterioare și tot ce s-a investit în sufletul nostru."
