Then what of our experience of God, who is the source of all beauty, joy and virtue? On dis­ covering Him, can one remain unmoved? This is something which is hardly imaginable, for such a sublime experience—­like coming close to a source of dazzling radiance—must surely leave its mark on one. Having endowed things with their unique qualities, God Himself must have qualities that His discoverers may savour. To discover Him, therefore, is to experience Him like a fragrance in the nostrils, a taste which excites the pa­late, a texture which is a joy to caress, a melody which touches the heart. To come close to Him is to live in an everlasting garden of brilliant colours and delicate fragrances. It is to hear such music that one might wish its enchantment to last forever. The Creator of all light, God Himself is the most resplendent of all beings. He is the light of the Heavens and of the earth, shedding His radiance on the personalities of all who discover Him. His is the greatest treasure house of all true wisdom. He is the greatest repository of all true strength. His discoverers are so fortified by His strength and so enlightened by His wisdom that no flood or hur­ricane can carry them away. They cannot, once having known Him, do other than evolve into superior human beings.
