Augustine: searching

'Where was I when I was seeking for you? You were there before me, but I had departed from myself. I could not even find myself, much less you.'

- Augustine, Confessions V.ii

The search for God is impossible for us because we have departed from ourselves. Until we know ourselves, we will not know God. Until we know God, we will not know ourselves.
