Turning
now to the
indication
which I have
described
as
119
a
decisive
one: here is this
soul
which
God
has made, as it were,
completely
foolish
in
order
the
better
to
impress
upon it
true
wisdom
. For as
long
as such a
soul
is in this
state
, it can neither
see
nor
hear
nor
understand
: the
period
is always
short
and seems to the
soul
even
shorter
than it
really
is.
God
implants
Himself in the
interior
of that
soul
in such a
way
that, when it
returns
to itself, it cannot
120
possibly
doubt
that
God
has been in it and it has been in
God
; so
firmly
does this
truth
remain
within it that, although for
years
God
may
never
grant
it that
favour
again, it can neither
forget
it nor
doubt
that it has
received
it (and this
quite
apart
from the
effects
which
remain
within it, and of which I will
speak
later). This
certainty
of the
soul
is very
material
.
119
Gracián
alters
"as" to "as
being
, I
think
".
120
Gracián
inserts
: "it
thinks
."
