There can be no fresh start,
no renewal in the life
of any individual,
group or community
unless we are able
to see and admit
our own inadequacy
and past failures.
Once we begin to see,
to experience and to
admit our weakness,
then we can begin to
appreciate the fundamental
principle of the spiritual life,
that we cannot go a single
step forward without God.

I would like to translate this poem
'...we cannot go a single step forward without God. ' and why we can't admit our faults, the reason is ego. Two souls essentially no different, are close enough, but not the ego. A very valid point raised here.
