For me it is definitely the case, but we each have our own path to tread. Maybe, it's also that times are changing, and God in His Game of hide-and-seek changes His Hiding-Place :-) Sumangali Thank you so much for your thoughts, Sharani.

I sometimes wonder if there is an intended paradox that cloisters the sacred in a cloak of privacy and simplicity. Such a practice would hollow out the rock and give God space to lead the way. Maybe our more showy offerings - such as an enormous cathedral - divert attention away into human doings and beings more than they channel it into real immersion in God. Hi Sumangali,
