In the Silence, the Voice of the Spirit is heard.

In the Silence, the Voice of the Spirit is heard. In the Silence, I heard the voice of the One who never forsakes even those who are on the outposts of spiritual life—who never forsakes and never lets go, and He, gathering up my physical distress, turned it into so rich a blessing that I was prepared—in some measure—for all the love, the beauty, and the brightness that is everywhere on this side.

Try and take to yourselves—you who are out on this big journey of exploration into the spiritual while yet bound by the physical—take comfort from my own experience, and know that you too, in God's good time, will emerge from the coldness, the isolation, and the mental separation from the world at large—and find yourselves in a realm where the most perfect companionship and understanding prevail. And in that hour of revelation, you will look back with amazement to think that the body or the darts of the world could ever have touched you at all to give you pain—could ever have acted as a barrier between you and Love.
