An argument for man’s spiritual docility ought easily to be seen in his
ignorance. He is blind but presumptuous. Nature herself ought to teach
him better. As one says:
Just as when the yellow fog broods over London, all the
illuminations devised by man can not penetrate it; just as in
the dark country road on the misty night, the brightest lamp is
of no more avail than a farthing rushlight; so no argument of
men can remove the mists which becloud the soul. We only do what
we have to do in the physical world--wait till the sun comes
back.
If man be so encompassed by ignorance in the physical realm, how can
he walk in the spiritual. Let him humble himself, if he would really
understand. Let him obey, that he may know.
