There is a great difference between being in the midst of active work, of external action, while keeping ones thought constantly fixed on Thee, and entering into that perfect union with Thee which leads to what I have called absolute Consciousness, true Omniscience, Knowledge. When one acts, though with the thought fixed on Thee, one is like a blind man walking on the road with a sense of direction, but knowing nothing about the path he is following and how, precisely, one must walk so as to neglect nothing. In the other case, on the contrary, there is the clear vision in full light, the utilisation of the least occasion, the plenitude of action, the maximum result. And if the first attitude is indispensable before acquiring the other, yet at no moment must one cease working, making an effort to attain perfect communion.
But my heart is in peace, my thought free from impatience, and I entrust myself to Thy will with the smiling confidence of a child.
May Thy peace reign over all.
