The mode of conduct of this (present) life provides (an opening) for the functioning of the senses

Whenever a person is held worthy of that knowledge | his limbs all of a sudden cease (to function) | and there falls upon him a stillness and silence | for in the conduct of the New Life all use of the senses falls idle. | Because even in this world the senses cannot endure to encounter that mystery — | even though as it were in some kind of sleep they cease from their activity at a time of repentance | though it is not they which make the encounter but the interior person — | ‘may God grant you to know the power of the world to come’ | and you will cease henceforth from all engagement with this present life. | 13.2, p. 65
