There Is No Room For God In

About What Mainly Constituted What You Ask, It Was Something Other. It Was Just A Certain Inclination To Meet People. And As Far As Possible, To Change Something In The Other, But Also To Let Me Be Changed By Him. At Any Event, I Had No Resistance, I Put No Resistance To It. I Already Began As A Young Man. I Felt I Have Not The Right To Want To Change Another If I Am Not Open To Be Changed By Him As Far As It Is Legitimate.

Here Is The Infallible Test. Imagine Yourself In A Situation Where You Are Alone, Wholly Alone On Earth, And You Are Offered One Of The Two, Books Or Men. I Often Hear Men Prizing Their Solitude But That Is Only Because There Are Still Men Somewhere On Earth Even Though In The Far Distance. I Knew Nothing Of Books When I Came Forth From The Womb Of My Mother, And I Shall Die Without Books, With Another Human Hand In My Own. I Do, Indeed, Close My Door At Times And Surrender Myself To A Book, But Only Because I Can Open The Door Again And See A Human Being Looking At Me.

Nothing So Tends To Mask The Face Of God As Religion; It Can Be A Substitute For God Himself.

Read The Bible As Though It Were Something Entirely Unfamiliar, As Though It Had Not Been Set Before You Ready-made. Face The Book With A New Attitude As Something New.

One Who Truly Meets The World Goes Out Also To God.
