The Jewish approach to life considers the man who has stopped going - he who has a feeling of completion, of peace, of a great light from above that has brought him to rest - to be someone who has lost his way...

He whose search has reached a certain level feels that he is in the palace of the King. He goes from room to room, from hall to hall, seeking Him out. However, the king's palace is an endless series of worlds, and as a man proceeds in his search from room to room, he holds only the end of the string. It is, nevertheless, a continuous going, a going after G-d, a going to G-d, day after day, year after year.
