"If you seek God because you want eternal life, you're not seeking God, you're seeking eternal life.  If you're seeking God because your life lacks meaning, you're searching for meaning, not necessarily this encounter with the Divine.  It's like somebody who has just come out of a relationship and they're looking for somebody else ... anybody.  And everybody keeps away from you because they know that you don't love them, you want them to fulfill some need in you."
