إني أشفق على الأحمق الذي يظن أنّ حدود عقله البشري هي حدود الله عز وجل،إني أشفق على الجاهل الذي يعتقد بأنه يستطيع أن يساوم الله ويسوي حساباته وديونه معه. هل يظن هؤلاء الله بقالاً يزن حسناتنا وذنوبنا في ميزانين منفصلين؟ هل يظنون أنه يسجل ذنوبنا في دفتر حساباته بدقةٍ حتى نسدد له ما علينا ذات يوم؟ أهذه هي فكرتهم عن الوحدانية؟ إن إلهي ليس بقالاً ولا محاسبًا بل إنه إله عظيم...إله حيّ!
