If you understand (St. Augustine / Rainer Maria Rilke)

Si comprehendis, non est Deus.
If you understand, it is not God.
 

--St. Augustine 

    I beg you to be patient with everything that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not search for the answers which could not be given to you now because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. And perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. 

—Rainer Maria Rilke
