"My life is like shattered glass." said the visitor. "My soul is tainted with evil. Is there any hope for me?
"Yes," said the Master. "There is something whereby each broken thing is bound again and every stain made clean."

"How is that done?"
"By understanding that no one is to blame," said the Master. "NO ONE."
