Today there is a tendency not to admit that side of life. People believe it is not solid enough to rely upon intuition or inspiration. Once in Paris I was surprised at hearing a famous writer say, "Is there such a thing as inspiration?" I thought, "Here is a great writer who has made a name for himself, and yet he does not know if there is such a thing as inspiration!" By continual material strife, and by continual ignoring of the God spirit, people have become so materialistic that they do not think that such a thing as inspiration exists. This man had become famous without believing in inspiration, and that was all he wanted. But when I learnt more about the work of this writer I found that his works were extremely superficial. There was no depth to them and no height, and that is the kind that is successful these days.
