Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation. - John of the Cross

And though they may have many scruples that they are wasting time, and that it may be better for them to betake themselves to some other good work, seeing that in prayer and meditation they are become helpless; yet let them be patient with themselves, and remain quiet, for that which they are uneasy about is their own satisfaction and liberty of spirit. If they were now to exert their inferior faculties, they would simply hinder and ruin the good which, in that repose, God is working in the soul; for if a man while sitting for his portrait cannot be still, but moves about, the painter will never depict his face, and even the work already done will be spoiled.

Božansku mudrost posjeduju samo oni koji puput neuke djece zanemare svoje znanje i s ljubavlju služe Bogu.

Whoever flees prayer flees all that is good.
