About This Quote

The greater the need, the greater the quest for God. This is a deep and profound notion. The idea is that we should always strive to make the world a better place. To do this, we must be driven by a great need, which can only be fulfilled by eternal life with God. In short, the greater the need, the greater the quest for God.
