    The first truth: man, by his innate nature, cannot reside in this huge world simply as an isolated and straying particle. He must establish a certain connection with this universe, guaranteeing him stability and allowing him to discern his place in the world. He needs to believe in something that will explain his environment and his place within that environment. This is a natural and conscious need, unconnected with the peculiarities of a given time or place. In the course of this research, we will discover the extent of man’s unhappiness and misery, his bewilderment and aberration, when he fails to understand the truth about that fundamental connection.

    Do you think that you could enter paradise unless God takes cognizance of your having striven hard [in His cause], and takes cognizance of your having been patient in adversity? For, indeed, you did long for death in God’s cause before you came face to face with it; and now you have seen it with your own eyes!”
