Every day,

The disciples posed the same question,

How do I find God?

Consistently,

The reply echoed mysteriously,

Through desire.

But I desire God with all my heart,

Don't I?

Why haven't I found him?

The disciple questioned.

During a river bath together,

The master unexpectedly submerged the disciple's head,

Causing a frantic struggle for breath.

The following day,

The master initiated the conversation,

Why did you struggle when I held your head underwater?

Because I needed air,

Replied the disciple.

When you crave for God as desperately as you grasped for air,

You will have found him,

The master revealed.
