““While in a state like this the soul will find profit in nothing, and hence, none of the good works it may do will be of any avail; for they do not have their origin in the First Principle, God, through Whom alone our virtue is true virtue. Any good thing we do has its source, not in ourselves, but rather in the spring where the tree of the soul is planted, and in that Sun of God which sheds its radiance on our works. Whenever we do any good thing, or see such a thing being done, we should take ourselves straight away to its Source, thanking God, realizing that without His help we are powerless.””
