Simone Weil Quotes
God Rewards The Soul That Focuses On Him With Attention And Love, And God Rewards That Soul By Exercising A Rigorous Compulsion On It, Mathematically Proportional To This Attention And Love. We Must Abandon Ourselves To This Pressure, And Run To The Precise Point Where It Leads, And Not A Single Step Further, Not Even In The Direction Of What Is Good. At The Same Time, We Must Continue To Focus On God, With Ever More Love And Attention, And In This Way Obtain An Even Greater Compulsion - To Become An Object Of A Compulsion That Possesses For Itself A Perpetually Growing Portion Of The Soul. Once God's Compulsion Possesses The Whole Soul, One Has Reached The State Of Perfection. But No Matter What Degree We Reach, We Must Not Accomplish Anything Beyond What We Are Irresistibly Pressured (compelled) To Do, Not Even In The Way Of Good.
