I once thought that if I could ask God one question, I would ask how the universe began, because once I knew that, all the rest is simply equations.

For once I knew that answer, then I would know the purpose of my own life.
Every human being has a personal legend to be fulfilled, and this is our reason for being in the world. This personal legend manifests itself in our enthusiasm for the task.
A person who goes in search of God is wasting his time. he can walk a thousand roads and join many religions and sects- but he'll never find God that way. God is here, right now, at our side. In order to find God, you have to only to look around.
