Aphorism - 32

32The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself; but is the Theist any other? Well, perhaps; for he has seen the shadow of God and clutched at it.

What does God playing at hide and seek with Himself mean?

In the game of hide and seek, one person hides and the other seeks. So God hides from the atheist who says, God? I do not see him, I do not know where he is; therefore he does not exist. But the atheist does not know that God is also in him; and therefore it is God who is denying his own existence. Isnt that a game? And yet a day will come when he will be brought face to face with himself and will be obliged to recognise that he exists.

The believer thinks himself very superior to the atheist, but all that he has been able to seize of God is His shadow and he clings to this shadow imagining that it is God himself. For if he truly knew God, he would know that God is all things and in everything; then he would cease to think himself superior to anybody.
