The Works Of Dionysius The Areopagite Volumes 1&2 -Dionysius The Areopagite

But little, i.e. fine, is affirmed respecting Him,—that which leaves behind every mass and distance, and penetrates through all, without hindrance. Yet the little is Elemental Cause of all, for nowhere will you find the idea of the little unparticipated. Thus then the little must be received as regards God as penetrating to all, and through all, without impediment; and operating, and piercing through, to “a dividing of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow”; and “discerning thoughts and intents of heart,” yea rather—all things that be. For there is not a creature unmanifest in His sight. This littleness is without quality and without quantity, without restraint, without limit, without bound, comprehending all things, but itself incomprehensible.
