At this point a sharp realization burned within me: each man has his "function" but none which he can choose himself, define, or perform as he pleases. It was wrong to desire new gods, completely wrong to want to provide the world with something. An enlightened man had but one duty-to seek the way to himself, to reach inner certainty, to grope his way forward, no matter where it led.
