Summary

This quote suggests that a leader should strike a balance between adapting to their people's experiences and pushing boundaries. If a leader simply sticks to the familiar and limits their actions according to what their people are comfortable with, they risk becoming stagnant and hindering growth. On the other hand, if a leader exceeds the experiences of their people, they may face difficulties in effectively communicating their ideas and being understood. Therefore, a successful leader understands and connects with the experiences of their followers while also leading them towards progress and new possibilities.

And indeed it was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls

To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God's hand, his brain as God's brain, his purpose as God's purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.

This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good. God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.
