Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.

Summary

This quote suggests that the connection between two prisoners communicating through knocks on a wall illustrates a deeper concept of separation and communication. The wall physically separates them, yet it becomes their means of communication. Similarly, the quote proposes that our separation from God can serve as a link or a means to connect with the divine. It implies that every apparent separation serves as an opportunity to establish a connection, emphasizing the idea that even in separation, there is potential for communication and unification.
