I particularly appeal to our intelligentsia and students to come forward and rise to the occasion. You have performed wonders in the past. You are still capable of repeating the history. You are not lacking in the great qualities and virtues in comparison with the other nations. Only you have to be fully conscious of that fact and to act with courage, faith and unity.

All of the arguments that historians and scholars, teachers and students, enter into are lacking in this dimension that I am giving you, and if they weren't lacking in this dimension, they would being to perceive much more significant questions than their arguments with one another. They would be, for example, considering the periods of history as being bookended by a consciousness that history had ended, and then on the other side a belief that history had begun again, and armed with just those ideas alone one could redo a great, great deal of history.

As they take eye for an eye until no one can see,
we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.

We sometimes speak of learning to know God from the history of past ages; we take out the chronicles and read and read. Well, that may be all right, but how much time it takes, and how dubious the outcome frequently is, how close at hand the misunderstanding that lies in the sensate person’s marveling over what is ingenious! But someone who is conscious that he is capable of nothing at all has every day and every moment the desired and irrefragable opportunity to experience that God lives. If he does not experience it often enough, he knows very well why that is. It is precisely because his understanding is faulty and he believes himself capable of something.
