“’Think, but again think sincerely, and picture to yourself what I have just said, and then answer: Would you like it and thank the impudent thief who broke into your house?

“’Certainly not!! A million times not!!!!

“’On the contrary, your whole being would be indignant and would wish to punish this thief, and with every fibre of your psyche, you would try to find a means of revenge.

“’In all probability, you would now reply that although it is indeed so . . . “I am, however, only a man . . .”

“’That is true, you are only a man. It is good that GOD is GOD and is not so vindictive and evil as man.

“’Certainly HE will not punish you nor will HE revenge HIMSELF upon you, as you would punish the mentioned robber who destroyed the property and goods it had taken you years to collect.

“’But HIS creations – in this case people – must not abuse this All-Gracious and Everywhere-Penetrating Goodness of HIS; they must not only care for, but even maintain all HE has created.
