This was of little use for someone who acknowledges nothing except the
logically obvious. Theology was not adequate to my case and was unable to
cure my malady. Though, when theology appeared as a recognized discipline
and efforts had been spent over time, the theologians became very deep in their
defense of traditions by studying what things are and embarked on a study of
things and events and their nature and properties. But, since that was not the
aim of their science, they did not deal with the question thoroughly in their
thinking and consequently did not arrive at results sufficient to rid the universal
darkness of confusion arising from the different views of men. It is possibile that
for others than myself, these results are sufficient; indeed, I have no doubt that
this has been enough for many. But these results are mingled with naive belief in
some matters which are not included among true values.
My purpose here though, is to describe my own case, not to disparage those
who sought a remedy by talim, for cures vary with diseases. How often is one
man‟s medicine another‟s poison!
