There is a beautiful, old story about a rabbi who was asked by one of his students: Before there were people who saw God face to face; why aren't there any today? To which the rabbi replied: Because today no one can stoop that low. Sure, we have to bend down a bit if we want to draw from the stream.

"Van egy szép, régi történet egy rabbiról, akitől megkérdezte egyik tanítványa: Azelőtt éltek olyan emberek, akik színről színre látták Istent; miért nincsenek ma is ilyenek? Mire a rabbi így válaszolt: Mert ma senki nem tud olyan mélyre hajolni. Bizony, le kell hajolnunk valamelyest, ha a folyamból akarunk meríteni."
