Belief and disbelief

helpless before God—that all are his humble servants, in truth. he presses on until he reaches the Creator, passing by all creation. a believer acknowledges that everything is from God. seeing that he has no power in this world, he looks to God for help and protection. The beauty of this world reminds him of God’s beauty; the greatness of natural phenomena impresses on him the greatness of the one who created them. so absorbed is he in the glory of God that he loves nothing more than to spend his time singing the praises of the lord. To believe in God is to see the invisible force behind visible objects. it requires a unique vision, enabling a man to penetrate superficial forms and perceive the ultimate reality. an individual endowed with such vision sees God’s greatness everywhere; he looks only to God as great. Therefore, he submits entirely to God and trusts in him alone. so engrossed in God’s overpowering greatness does he become that all worldly creatures, including himself, fade into insignificance in his sight.
