"He was taken to the Caliph, who said, 'Last year someone was claiming to be a prophet – he was executed. Do you know about it?'

"'Serves him right,' the man answered. 'I had not sent him.'

"Now you cannot put such a man in a corner. It is impossible because the illogical approach is an open approach. In fact there are no corners because there is no room – no walls around it. It is an open sky; one can move anywhere. You can be forced into a corner if you live in a room, walled, and there are corners. If you live under the sky, how can you be pushed into a corner?
