Every human being thirsts for knowledge of God craving faith;
Their need is most dire whose minds have strayed the furthest.
A needy conscience is healthy: its need is faith in Him.
Minds lost in bewildering ways are recovered in search of Him.

Abstract knowledge cannot nor formal reasoning.
Nor subtle logic content the human need for faith.
Scholars scientists philosophers-disputing deviant
Voices so void of meaning while so full of wards.

Knowing nothing revealed about the other world.
Ignorant of the beginnings of things―have understood
So little yet have by conjectures and frail hypotheses.
Snared and confounded whole nations of human beings

This is truth: every color and sound is a message from Him.
The subjection of existence to man is a portion of His wisdom.
Existence originates in or radiates from His Light
Who initiates all things. Only souls who apprehend this

Are contented and only the contended reach Him.
Though the insightless are blind to Him. His sight reaches.
And His presence is everywhere. And this is truth:
That man most deeply feels His relatedness to all being.

Those with senses alert to Him know near He is.
The universe is a fountain overflowing with the meanings
Of His Names with diverse prolific harmonies
Of God and man continually played and resonant.

Realizing this the human mind is wed to the human heart
And nightly finds a different path to take its way to God.
The spirit that thus leaps over the hurdles of matter.
To enter upon this realm finds the true identity
At last of man conjoined fulfillment of self and soul.
