To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" " Quelque chose s 'organise a nos depens ; nous somnes le jouet d'un ego'isme superieur. " At any rate the feeling of helplessness in the hands of Nature is a real feeling ; and the wider our experience and the larger our view of things, the stronger does it tend to become. But when it leads us to think of our Lord and Master (whoever he may be or whatever we may call him) as a " great egoist " who is exploiting us for purposes of his own, and of ourselves as Impotent pieces in the game he pl...ays, then the spiritual theory of freedom comes to our rescue and provides us with an antidote to our specious but shallow pessimism. For it tells us that, inasmuch as freedom is the counterpart of spirituality both in Nature and in us, we have but to spiritualize ourselves in order to share in Nature's freedom, and to make our destinies coincide, potentially and ideally, with hers. The slave who toils at the bidding of another has no part or lot in the fruits of his labours ; but man, even when he seems to be a passive instrument in the hands of Nature, is toiling for ends which he may, if he pleases, make his own.
