“The annihilated soul lives without a why, for it has become one with God.”
What this quote means
This quote describes a state of grace where the soul, having given up all personal desire, lives in perfect union with God. It no longer acts out of motivation or 'why', but through simple presence and love. In our goal-oriented world, this seems counterintuitive. Yet it invites us to experience moments where we act without calculation, guided by a deeper intuition. It's an aspiration for inner peace, freeing ourselves from the constant need for justification and simply being.
How to apply it daily
Pick a daily activity (like walking or washing dishes) and do it with no purpose other than the act itself, in full mindfulness, just for the joy of doing.
