"It is not acceptable to say..."

"It is not acceptable to say ‘Alright, God exists and I am the one who is doing my own thing here.’ You need to do everything with God. Otherwise you would be suffocated. It would be like you prepared yourself a poisoned washbowl to bath in it. It is not acceptable to say ‘I have my ties with God but I trust in my own strength, this is my intelligence.’ It is idolatry to believe that one is able to do something independently, on his own. It is not acceptable to say ‘God exists and so does my intelligence.’ One needs to focus his attention and make a clear, well-coordinated decision once and for all, and settle every event with God. God should not be forsaken. God should not be doubted. God should not be forgotten. If you do not refrain from forgetting God and from not trusting in God, you would land yourself in big trouble."
