What we need today is to know that there is a GOD, and that we can see and feel HIM here and now. We want everything but GOD, because our ordinary desires are fulfilled by the external world. So long as our needs are confined within the limits of the physical universe, we do not feel any need for GOD; it is only when we have had hard blows in our lives and are disappointed with everything here that we feel the need for something higher; then we seek GOD— Swami Vivekananda
