Everything is God...

"The Besht taught:

one should believe with one's deeds, words and every movement, that everything is God Himself.

For it is He who controls man and limits His divine presence in him.

Realizing this one will not seek any kind of reward for one's deeds, since it is God Himself who is the doer, not oneself."
