But in the desert, in the pure clean atmosphere, in the silence — there you can find yourself. And unless you begin to know yourself, how can you even begin to search for God?

About This Quote

The desert is the perfect environment for self-discovery. Only in an environment where there is no distraction, where there are no people to bother you, can you find the silence to listen to your inner voice. It is hard to believe that it is possible to find God in the desert. It certainly not something that people try to do.

They often think that God doesn’t exist, or that if he does then he doesn’t want anything to do with them. The desert is a place of solitude and contemplation. There, one can really begin to know oneself by going within and listening to the inner voice that everyone knows is there but that most people ignore.
