Man’s Craving for an object of Worship

MAN’S CRAVING FOR AN OBJECT OF WORSHIP appearances, having learned that all the things visible are God’s bequest to humanity. For him, whatever is present on this earth has been created by the supreme Being. he sees the Creator in his creation and makes him his all. all his best feelings are then offered to God. When a man finds God, his feelings towards his Creator are similar to those of the russian cosmonaut on his return to the earth; only they are on a far superior plane and of a much greater intensity. The true believer sees in them the light of God on being touched by the sun’s rays. he should be able to find God in the very fragrance of the flower. he should see the incredible mercy of God in the flowing waters of rivers and streams. in the infinitude of space, he should see the infiniteness of his Creator. The difference between a believer and an unbeliever is that the latter’s vision stops short at the surface of creation, while a believer’s vision passes straight through creation to its Creator. an unbeliever becomes lost in the beauty of creation because he imagines this beauty is inherent. however, the believer sees the beauty of creation and its Creator and surrenders himself to God. The unbeliever prostrates himself before mere things. The believer casts himself down before his Creator.
