The God you seek, the Presence that you seek, exists within you. In a way this is a kind of self-knowledge, but it is not a knowledge of the mind but a knowledge of the heart. It is a knowledge that leads you to reach outward, to reach out in help to others. Your ability to be sensitive to the needs of other humans comes not from an intellectual organizing principle, but in the end, most meaningly, it comes from the heart. It comes from the spirit.
