The knowledge of God can be threefold: a) through faith, b) through reason and c) through love. I can believe that God is what I have been told about Him. I can arrive by reasoning at the recognition of the beginning of all that is, at the existence of something indestructible outside of time and space, at the necessity of accepting either boundedness or unboundedness, and here lies the mark of unreality. I don't express myself well, I want to say that everything that is corporeal, occupies a limited space in infinite space and is produced in infinite time in both directions, all this does not exist in reality. There is that which is outside of time and space. And the essence is only what we call God. We can come to accept the existence of God by having the consciousness of something outside of space and time, that is knowing Him through union with Him expressed in love.

"Cunoașterea lui Dumnezeu poate fi triplă: a) prin credință, b) prin rațiune și c) prin iubire. Pot crede că Dumnezeu este ceea ce mi s-a spus despre El. Pot ajunge prin raționament la recunoașterea începutului a toate câte sunt, la existența a ceva indestructibil în afara timpului și spațiului, la necesitatea acceptarii fie a mărginirii, fie a nemărginirii, iar aici se afla semnul irealității. Nu mă exprim bine, vreau să spun că tot ce e corporal, ocupă un spațiu limitat în spațiul infinit și se produce în timpul infinit în ambele direcții, toate acestea nu exista în realitate. Exista ceea ce e în afara timpului și spațiului. Iar esența este numai ceea ce numim Dumnezeu. Putem ajunge să acceptăm existența lui Dumnezeu având conștiința a ceva din afara spațiului și timpului, asta e cunoașterea Lui prin unirea cu El exprimată în iubire."
