The good, say the mystics, is God, a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man’s power to conceive - a definition that invalidates man’s consciousness and nullifies his concepts of existence. Man’s mind, say the mystics, must be subordinated to the will of God. Man’s standard of value say the mystics, is the pleasure of God, whose standards are beyond man’s comprehension and must be accepted on faith.
Thus, the purpose of man’s life is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question.
- John Galt, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
