One thing that attracts children is the unknown, the as yet inexperienced. So they long for the mysterious.

Perhaps this is what keeps them spell-bound in a performance of magic show. Their inquisitive mind tries to fathom the mystery. Youth is also hankering after the unusual; they would like to experience the forbidden fruit, to know what it is. They would like to know what effect drugs have on them. So they would try them and the result is often they are trapped before long and find it almost impossible to come out of it.

The hunter of hidden treasures is always on the look out to find treasures and if it happens to be under water they try to acquire the best possible equipment so that long lost treasures may be located and exploited.

The explorer tries to discover new frontiers and breach them if he could. But there is one frontier which you cannot breach try as you may. It is to know God. Many have tried and failed.

It is true we can know that God exists by using our intelligence but anything more could be known only by God's revelation. And even here the theologians try their best by juggling with revealed truths to discover logical conclusions and implications of such revelations as what God grants to us in his Providence. Such a search could be exciting because God who is beyond the beyond could be known little by little to the extent he allows us to know him.

This is an adventure that begins here on this earth and continues in eternity because God is unfathomable; one can never succeed in plumbing his depths.

This is also the reason why heaven becomes a never ending adventure and what we know there of God would always be new like all the moments of the human life, which are always new, but only we fail to perceive their newness and allow envoi to take hold of us. Are you bored stiff of life in this world? Get on to the adventure of discovering God and the riches of a life in God and with God.

You will never be disappointed. The new that you desire, the freshness that you long for in life will be yours for the asking but do you really want it? This is how the sages of our nation, have traditionally sought God in many places and situations.

The Himalayas, riverbanks, forests all provided places for them to undertake this search. But could one also seek for it in the midst of hurry-burry of daily life? One could, by God's grace. It cannot be by one's own unaided effort. Does God grant it easily? Why not, if you be genuinely desirous of it?
