But there is another point of view from which to look at it: that man may become great by his responsibility, and at the same time he may fall, for there is a stumbling block: the more conscious man becomes of his responsibility, the less he recognizes the power of wisdom which is working beside him. It is because of this that at this time of materialism there are great personalities who accomplish many things, and yet in the end they show their limitation. This limitation comes from being drowned in the responsibility they have taken upon themselves and from having forgotten God, the other power that is working beside them. However great man may be in wisdom, in power, yet he is limited; and if his wisdom and power are compared with divine wisdom and power, they are not even as much as a drop compared with the sea.
