Take, for instance, the the idea of a Personal God. A man who

understands and believes in the Impersonal-John Stuart Mill, for

example-may say that a Personal God is impossible, and cannot be

proved. I admit with him that a Personal God cannot be demonstrated.

But He is the highest reading of the Impersonal that can be reached

by the human intellect, and what else is the universe but various

readings of the Absolute? It is like a book before us, and each one

has brought his intellect to read it, and each one has to read it for

himself.
