Wrestling ever anew

In recent days I have found the following quotation returning to my mind over and over again --

"I, who am truly no zaddik, no one assured in God, rather a man endangered before God, a man wrestling ever anew for God's light, ever anew engulfed in God's abysses, . . .

-- Martin Buber, Tales of the Hasidim

I need to remember that I too am "endangered before God, wrestling ever anew for the His Light."  It is helpful to know that someone of Buber's stature felt the same.

Thank you for posting this. TALES OF THE HASIDIM is one of my favorite books. A while back I read a biography of Martin Buber. I believe it was ENCOUNTER ON THE NARROW RIDGE, by Maurice S. Friedman. An excellent book.

AM, wow! I don't think I have ever before met anyone for whom Tales of the Hasidim was a favorite book, as it has long been for me. Thank you so much for posting. (((((am)))))
