How do you draw near to God?

I am trying to draw near God. And what is God? And where is God? God is everywhere. God is.

What is He? God is. What do you mean? God is, God is. There is no being, nothing that is, except God. 

Do you not also know that He is, and that All That Is, is He? All that is, is God. All that is, is God.

If God is all that is, who AM I? I am a part of God. That must include me and all my fellow beings, human and animal–even the trees and the birds and the rivers must be a part of God if God were all that is. 

From this moment my life will assume a new meaning for me. I will not see a human face without remembering this absolute truth–the human being I see is a part of God. 

When my dog looks at me, I will say to him aloud–You are a part of God. When I stand beside a river and listen to the sound of its waters, I will say to myself–I am listening to the voice of God. When a fellow being is angry with me, I will ask myself–In what way have I offended God? When one speaks lovingly to me I will say–God is loving me now. 

My life will become unbelievably beautiful.
