God is: (1) the Final Fact of the universe; (2) the Self-existent Thing from which all life flows; and (3) the Intelligence inherent in everything. The spirit of man is the Spirit of God in man.
It is instinctive to believe in and reach out toward God. Religion cannot be extinguished. It comes with us. It is the soul's aspiration after the Source, which can only be interpreted at the level of our own consciousness.
