When a person thus forces himself over all the virtues, and insists on asking and asking for everything that is good for the salvation of his soul, and confirms his request with his works and efforts, then the Lord gives him His Spirit to work with it, and complete every good thing, and without effort or compelling himself by force, he performs the virtues that he was previously completing with all effort and force, and it is permissible for him to do so. He has spiritual wisdom and knowledge of the truth, and it becomes like his nature, because God resides in him.
