As there is great joy and satisfaction in the worship of God, so there is great joy and satisfaction in adhering to one's ideal. When a person says that he will not let anyone come between him and God, he does not know what he is saying, for in the ideal it is God who is made intelligible for our own limited mind to grasp the divine ideal. If one denies the existence of the ideal, one certainly denies the reality of God, for it is really only after having attained to spiritual perfection that one may say anything --but then one does not say anything. When people say things without having thought about them, they speak before they have arrived at perfection.
