When the “point in the heart” appears, one begins to shift from wanting worldly pleasures — sex, money, power, and knowledge — to wanting spiritual pleasures. Because this is a new kind of pleasure that we are seeking, we also need a new method to satisfy it. With our “ordinary” desires, we can usually define what we want quite easily. If I want to eat, I look for food; if I want respect, I act in a way that I believe will make people respect me. But because I don’t quite know what spirituality is, how can I know what to do to attain it? In the beginning, we don’t realize that what we really want is to discover the Creator, we also don’t realize that we will need a new method to search for Him. This desire is so utterly different from anything we have ever felt before, it is unclear even to us.
