In the Neighbourhood of God II

There is a tale that tells the story of a man inspired by God who once went out from the places inhabited by people into the vast waste of a desert. In that place the man wandered for along time until he came to the Gates of Mystery. He knocked.
 
From within came a voice, “What do you want here ?”

The man replied, “I have proclaimed your praise in the ears of the people but they were deaf to me. So I have come to you so that you may hear me and reply.”
 
“Turn back,” spoke the voice from within, “There is no one to hear you here. Don’t you know I have placed my hearing among the deafness of mortals”.
