"A comnpany of travelers fall into a pit: one of them gets a passenger to draw him out. Now he should not be angry with the rest for falling in; nor because they are not yet out, as he is. He did not pull himself out: instead, therefore, of reproaching them, he should show them pity...A man, truly illuminated, will no more despise others, than Bartimaeus, after his own eyes were opened, would take a stick, and beat every blind man he met."

I just looked it up. In fact, the chapter title is "These Inward Trials." That's a book I need to read again. Indeed! I just looked it up.

I forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder. In the past, I have quoted it to myself time without number. I think, perhaps, I first saw it in Packer's Knowing God? Hey Mr. Ritchie!
