God - only our search for him can fulfil us
Everyone, during the course of their life, tries to fulfil their desires and ambitions. For the sake of wealth, beauty, knowledge, power, glory, and so on, they will expend their energy, their time and their health. But once the goal has been achieved, what happens? After a moment of satisfaction, they lose all interest in what they have acquired. Yes, this often happens: once they have acquired something, it no longer carries the aura it had when it was only a wish, and so dissatisfaction and emptiness set in. The only way of avoiding the feelings of dissatisfaction and emptiness that follow when we achieve our desires is to go in search of something distant, so distant it is always beyond our reach. This far off, inaccessible goal, which is beyond all things and contains everything, we call God. On the path we must travel to draw closer to him, we find love, wisdom, beauty, strength and riches, without ever exhausting ourselves in futile searching.
