Bob Dylan's song "Trying to Get to Heaven" has a verse in it that really struck with the theme of the chapter "The Malaise of Immanence" in a very prevalent way;

People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like pendulums swinging on chains
When you think that you've lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more
I'm just goin' down the road feeling bad
Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door

 

I especially find the line "When you think that you've lost everything, you find out you can always lose a little more" very important. As discussed in the chapter, the multiplicity of faiths and systems of beliefs offered by the modern age weakens the strength and presence of religion in today's society. As such, this pluralism acts as a double edged sword; on one hand, more beliefs are accepted and people are (generally) more open minded, however, on the other hand the whole mystery of life becomes less and less of a mystery and more of hunt for answers, not enlightenment or spirituality. Therefore, we, as a society, are losing something we can never truly get back, hence "I'm just goin' down the road feeling bad, tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door"
