X-WR-CALDESC:<i>The prophet indicates this to us\, showing that our thought
 s are always present to God\, saying: 'God searches hearts and minds (Ps 7
 :10)\;' and again: 'The Holy One knows our thoughts (Ps 94:11)\;' likewise
 \, 'From afar you know my thoughts (Ps 139:3)\;' and\, 'My thoughts shall 
 give you praise (Ps 76:11).' That we may take care to avoid sinful thought
 s\, we must always say to ourselves: 'I shall be blameless in God's sight 
 if I guard myself from my own wickedness (Ps 18:24).'</i>\n\nBenedict\, wh
 ose whole way of life is steeped in the psalms\, relies heavily on the psa
 lms here to prove God's probing presence to the individual soul. God\, Ben
 edict says quite clearly\, is within us to be realized\, not outside of us
  to be stumbled upon. It is not a game of hide and seek we play in the spi
 ritual life. It is simply a matter of opening our eyes to the light which 
 drives out the darkness within us.\n\n'How does a person seek union with G
 od?' the seeker asked.\n'The harder you seek\,' the teacher said\, 'the mo
 re distance you create between God and you.'\n'So what does one do about t
 he distance?'\n'Understand that it isn't there\,' the teacher said.\n'Does
  that mean that God and I are one?' the seeker said.\n'Not one. Not two.'
 \n'How is that possible?' the seeker asked.\n'The sun and its light\, the 
 ocean and the wave\, the singer and his song.--Not one. Not two.'
