What should we set as our ultimate goal in this life? The answer: the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be. . . . I sought no more than how to be God's and God's alone. My goal made me resolve to give my all for the All. . . . Always I worshiped Him as often as I could, keeping my mind in His holy presence. When I wandered I brought Him back to my mind. . . . At all times, every hour, every minute, even at the busiest times. I drove away from my mind everything capable of spoiling the sense of the presence of God. . . . I just make it my business to persevere in His holy presence. . . My soul has had an habitual, silent, secret conversation with God.
