When the soul is naughted and transformed, then of herself she neither works nor speaks nor wills, nor feels nor hears nor understands; neither has she of herself the feeling of outward or inward, where she may move. And in all things it is God who rules and guides her, without the meditation of any creature.... And she is so full of peace that thought she pressed her flesh, her nerves, her bones, no other thing come forth from them than peace.

Summary

This quote highlights the concept of surrendering oneself completely to God. When the soul is fully transformed and emptied of its own desires and will, it becomes a vessel that is solely guided by God. In this state, the individual loses their sense of self and all actions, thoughts, and feelings are controlled and directed by the divine. The result is an overwhelming sense of peace where even the physical body emanates tranquility. The quote emphasizes the idea that true peace and fulfillment can only be found when one completely submits themselves to the divine will.
