"But who are you, who know me so well?" I asked him.



'"Is it not all the same to you, just now, who I am
and what I am? Is there really still alive in you that
curiousity which is one of the chief reasons why the
labours of your whole life have been without result?
And is it really still so strong in you that even at
this moment you are ready to give yourself up with your
whole being to an analysis of my knowledge of your
personality-only in order to explain to yourself who
I am and how I know you?"

The old man's reproach hit me in my weakest spot.
"Yes, father, you are right" I said. "Is it not indeed
all the same to me what is done and how it was done
outside of me? Have I not witnessed many genuine miracles
before this, and what understanding have I gained from
them all? I only know that, now, I am empty within and I
well know that I need not have been so empty if it had
not been, as you say, for my inner enemy, and if, instead
of wasting my time in being curious about what went on
outside of me, I had struggled with this enemy."
