"We, I, are just talking about how in us and in every man lives, God manifests. But these are not words, it is the undeniable truth. So we must live according to him. But what does it mean to live according to him, the truth according to which God is in every man? It means that when we meet, when we talk with a man, we must remember that we are dealing with the manifestation of God, that is, at every meeting with him, we must be in a pious, prayerful mood. Prayer is the awakening in you of the supreme spiritual state, the remembrance of your religiosity. Communication with man is the secret of communication with God, communion. Oh, that I would always remember this! It's possible. And I will try.

""Noi, eu, doar vorbim despre cum în noi și în fiecare om trăiește, se manifesta Dumnezeu. Dar astea nu sunt vorbe, este adevărul de netăgăduit. Trebuie deci să trăim conform lui. Dar ce înseamnă să trăim conform lui, adevărului după care Dumnezeu se afla în fiecare om? Înseamnă că atunci când ne întâlnim, când vorbim cu un om trebuie să ținem minte că avem de-a face cu manifestarea lui Dumnezeu, adică la fiecare întâlnire cu el, trebuie să fim într-o dispoziție pioasă, de rugăciune. Rugăciunea e stârnirea în tine a stării spirituale supreme, amintirea religiozității tale. Comunicarea cu omul este taina comunicarii cu Dumnezeu, împărtășanie. Ah, de-aș ține minte asta mereu! E cu putință. Și voi încerca."
