going by the book

I went to a Mosque. It was not a very comfortable experience. I was comfortable, but the Muslim faith seems to be subjugated by its own books. The course of life is prescribed by them and even after death everyone must read again to realize the consequences. This last book is called the Book of Deeds and each person is given his own volume already written.

Books may not be good tyrants. Perhaps books should not assume the role of God. Islamic culture is advanced in perceiving the strength of the influence of books and the pursuit of the resulting discoveries of the mind and the Muslim faith has an elegant tinge of pride in its devotion to books and reading. But, perhaps, books are a companion of consciousness and not the equivalent. Removing shoes in a library is easy, but the Mosque was a library of behaviors.
