Obedience means an unassuming, submissive, and pliable humour, and a will in readiness for all that is good. Obedience makes a man submit to the biddings, the forbiddings, and the will of God; it subjects the senses and the animal powers to the higher reason, so that a man may live decently and reasonably.","tags":["Christian Mysticism","Flemish Mysticism","Jan van Ruysbroeck"],"text":null,"title":"The Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage: First Book: Chapter XIII.
