' Wherever man lets Him '...

"'Where is the dwelling of God?'

This is the question with which the rabbi of Kotzk surprised a number of learned people who happened to be visiting him.

"They laughed at him:

'What a thing to ask! Is not the whole world full of His glory?'

"Then he answered his own question:

'God dwells wherever man lets him.'"
