God is man’s teacher. He seeks to develop goodness, wisdom, charity. He has placed upon himself one limitation: he will not compel man to learn. Man must reach out to receive all that God has to give. Even more, man must reach out to find it. All learning depends finally on the learner. I have always learned best what I wanted to learn; I have learned best when I was ready and eager to learn.
