A faithful thinker

[Guest guest]

These words by Ralph Waldo Emerson might seem somewhat

dated, but the do indeed ring true to anyone that is

interested in understanding how it is that we think.

" The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken

and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with

himself. He cannot be a naturalist, until he satisfies

all the demands of the spirit. Love is as much its

demand, as perception. Indeed, neither can be perfect

without the other. In the uttermost meaning of the

words, thought is devout, and devotion is thought.

Deep calls unto deep. But in actual life, the marriage

is not celebrated. There are innocent men who worship

God after the tradition of their fathers, but their

sense of duty has not yet extended to the use of all

their faculties. And there are patient naturalists,

but they freeze their subject under the wintry light

of the understanding. Is not prayer also a study of

truth, — a sally of the soul into the unfound

infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without

learning something. But when a faithful thinker,

resolute to detach every object from personal

relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall,

at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the

holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into

the creation. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature.
