God is in the heart, but God is not the heart. Heart is an accommodation; it is an attunement through a selection exercised in the Supreme whereby, evoking a certain note, a center of consciousness makes itself felt. This center comes out of love and knows nothing but love, and its love is its knowledge and its love commands all knowledge. This heart is not the same as other hearts, but neither is it different. All hearts form God, yet God is not conditioned by them. The light is everywhere, yet by covering itself, so to speak, it forms innumerable lamps-the light of which resembles a tremendous, incomparable harmony.
