This is one more way of stating the great truth that he states in so many ways; namely, that we have to be born again. As long as you remain the man that you are, you cannot by merely taking thought be or do anything except what you are (because, of course, you always do what you are); you can only "get anywhere," as they say, by becoming a different man, and this you can only do by getting some realization of the Presence of God.
