The first question about man’s search for truth stems from an instinctive human consciousness of a Lord and Creator. The idea of a Lord and Creator Who watches over and sustains creation is imbedded in every human being. Ingrained in the subconscious of every human being lies the thought: “God is my Lord; I am His servant.” Everyone implicitly makes this covenant before coming into the world.

Subconsciously being aware of God, man wants more than anything to reach God. Above all else, he desires to firmly hold on to the Lord he knows in his heart he cannot do without. But the God he instinctively is aware of has yet to appear before him. Only by entering into spiritual communion with God can this longing be truly satisfied. Every human being needs someone to turn to, someone to whom he can dedicate the finest feelings that he has to offer. By their nature, every person wants to discover God and become His servant. Those who fail to find God give expression to their emotions before some other, false god. Hearts that have not found God experience unease in this world and eternal affliction in the Hereafter.
