Do you ask: if all things are in him, where is [God]? I can answer nothing more inadequately than this: what place can contain him? Do you ask where he is not? I cannot even answer that. What place is without God? God is incomprehensible, but you have learned a great deal if you discovered this about him: that he is nowhere who is not enclosed in a place, and he is everywhere who is not excluded from a place. In his own sublime and incomprehensible way, just as all things are in him, so he is in all things. For as the Evangelist says, ‘He was in the world.’ Furthermore, we know that where he was before the world was made, there he is today. There is no need to ask further where he was: nothing existed except him, therefore he was in himself.
Bernard of Clairvaux
