God - the name given to the Inaccessible, but seeking it is the only thing that will fulfil us

07/30/2014

Every human being has wishes and ambitions they seek to fulfil, and whether these concern wealth, beauty, knowledge, power or glory, etc., they expend their physical and psychic energy, time and health in doing so. But once they have achieved their goal, what happens? After a moment of satisfaction, they begin to lose all interest in what they have acquired. Yes, this often happens: what you succeed in acquiring no longer has the same aura surrounding it as when you only wanted it, so then dissatisfaction and emptiness set in. The only way of avoiding this feeling of emptiness after we have achieved what we wanted is to go looking for some distant object that is so far away we will never attain it. This distant, inaccessible goal that surpasses everything and contains everything we can also call God. By walking the path that we must walk if we are to come closer to him, we will find love, wisdom, beauty, strength and riches without ever again exhausting ourselves by searching in vain.
