Summary

This quote suggests that while we may approach a task or challenge with certainty, we acknowledge the tenuous nature of success. It implies that there is a delicate balance or narrow margin separating achievement and disappointment in any endeavor. Despite our confidence, we are aware that even a slight misstep or mistake could lead to failure. It serves as a reminder of the uncertainty and unpredictability inherent in life, urging us to remain cautious and focused, as we understand the thin line between triumph and defeat.

In the symbol proper, what we can call a symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there.
