Johannes Tauler Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Often when He comes, He finds the soul occupied. Other guests are there, and He has to turn away. He cannot gain entry, for we love and desire other things; therefore, His gifts, which He is offering to everyone unceasingly, must remain outside.

  Johannes Tauler

  Offering, Soul, Desire

• Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.

  Johannes Tauler

  Giving, Soul, Your Soul

• In the most intimate, hidden and innermost ground of the soul, God is always essentially, actively, and substantially present. Here the soul possesses everything by grace which God possesses by nature.

  Johannes Tauler

  Nature, Grace, Soul

• God is infinite and without end, but the soul's desire is an abyss which cannot be filled except by a Good which is infinite; and the more ardently the soul longeth after God, the more she wills to long after him; for God is a Good without drawback, and a well of living water without bottom, and the soul is made in the image of God, and therefore it is created to know and love God.

  Johannes Tauler

  God, Long, Water
