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.

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.
