“God has implanted in your heart his wisdom. So throw out of your heart everything that contradicts this wisdom. While foolishness overwhelms wisdom, you are like a deep dark lake where true life cannot survive. When you have thrown out foolishness, follow the path that leads to freedom. This means obeying the wisdom that already shines within you. And as you do so, your own soul will come to life. The wisdom of God which he has implanted in every person brings great blessings, both spiritual and material. It brings prudence, discretion and sound judgment. It enables people to use their abilities to the full in the service of others. Evil cannot enter those who obey the inner wisdom.”
Saint Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 1179)
