The Bowl of Saki Commentary

You cannot digest another's food, so why try to digest their thought? There is no vicarious atonement. God has created each form and each object in order that God might come to realization through that form and that object. When another is checked, God is checked; when another is hindered, God is hindered. This is very different from guidance; guidance helps toward some goal, it does not hinder. In other words it promotes activity, and if that activity does not appear to be in the right direction to the one to whom it is offered, it is because that one does not really know the right direction or has not the power and insight to transmute their direction into right direction. Every direction is right if it leads sooner or later to the Divine Ideal.
