"God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh,……" — Marcus Aurelius

God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh, skin, and all debris.… - Marcus Aurelius

"God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh, skin, and all debris. For his own mind only touches the spirit that he has allowed to flow from himself into our bodies. And if you can act the same way, you will rid yourself of all suffering. For surely if you are not preoccupied with the body that encloses you, you will not trouble yourself about clothes, houses, fame, and other showy trappings."

— Marcus Aurelius
