The attitude should first be to seek God with and after seeking God within, then to see God outside. In the story of in the Thousand and One Nights we read that Aladdin went to look for a lantern; that lantern is the divine light within, and it is very difficult to find. Once a person has found that lantern the next thing is to throw that light on the outer [fie, in order to find God both within and without. Prayer, night vigil, any form of worship, all these things are helpful; but if a man is not inclined to make peace with his brother, to harmonize with his fellow-men, to seek to please those around him, then he has not performed his religious duties. For what can a man give to God who is perfect?

• His goodness? His goodness is very little.
• His prayers? How many times will he pray? The whole day he spends for himself. If he prays two or three times, it is not much.
• If a man can do anything to please God, it is only to please His creatures, to seek their pleasure.
