Conversations with Howard Thurman, October 1980, 139th Psalm Prose Poems, Part 5 and 6, Side B

Thurman reflects on the struggle to bend the will of God to personal urgency, expressing a desire to find a way to pull God into their life. He contrasts two types of mysticism: one where an individual feels they can compel God's presence through purification, and another that emphasizes waiting for God's arrival, understanding that the power to control divine will is beyond human capacity.
