“Humility collects the soul into a single point by the power of silence. A truly humble man has no desire to be known or admired by others but wishes to plunge from himself into himself, to become nothing, as if he had never been born. When he is completely hidden to himself in himself, he is completely with God” 4 years ago trueorthodox
