Sixth dwelling: “It’s dangerous for her to be alone, but she can't bear to have anyone speak to her, either. And so, though she tries hard to cover up her misery, she goes around gloomy and irritable and everybody notices it.

How could she ever begin to say what’s bothering her? These problems are spiritual afflictions and they are unnameable.”

Not long ago a very wise man told me that souls who do not practice prayer are like people whose limbs are paralyzed.
Even though they have hands and feet, they cannot command them. And so there are souls so caught up in worldly matters that there is no hope for their recovery: they seem to be incapable of entering within themselves.
