Not one of us can boast of having acquired humility: our actions,
the whole of our life, prove the contrary. And where there is lack of
humility pride is always present. Where light is wanting, darkness
reigns.
In the vast sea which is the life of the church the true tradition
of the Spirit flows like a clear pure stream & he who would be in
this stream must renounce argument. When anything of self is
introduced the waters no longer run clear, for God's supreme wisdom
& truth are the opposite of human wisdom & truth. Such
renun-ciation appears intolerable, insane, to the self-willed, but the
man who is not afraid to become a fool has found true life &
true wisdom.
