Speaking

Development

 

 Once I said to God, “How do you teach us?”

And He replied,

 

If you were

Playing chess with someone who

Had infinite power and infinite knowledge

And wanted to make you a

Master of the game,

 

Where would all the chess

Pieces be at every

Moment?

 

Indeed, not only where he wanted them,

But where all were best for your

Development;

 

And that is every situation

Of one’s

Life.”
