Summary

In this quote, the speaker describes seeking answers about God from the entirety of the world around them. However, the response they receive is a humble acknowledgement that the world itself is not God, but rather a creation of God. This suggests a recognition of the divine power and greatness, emphasizing the distinction between the Creator and His creation. It represents a realization that although the world reflects the presence of a higher being, it falls short of encapsulating the true essence and nature of God.

You felt, in spite of all bureaucracy and inefficiency and party strife something that was like the feeling you expected to have and did not have when you made your first communion. It was a feeling of consecration to a duty toward all of the oppressed of the world which would be as difficult and embarrasing to speak about as religious experience and yet it was as authentic as the feeling you had when you heard Bach, or stood in Chartres Cathedral or the Cathedral at LeÃ³n and saw the light coming through the great windows; or when you saw Mantegna and Greco and Brueghel in the Prado. It gave you a part in something that you could believe in wholly and completely and in which you felt an absolute brotherhood with the others who were engaged in it. It was something that you had never known before but that you had experienced now and you gave such importance to it and the reasons for it that you own death seemed of complete unimportance; only a thing to be avoided because it would interfere with the performance of your duty. But the best thing was that there was something you could do about this feeling and this necessity too. You could fight.
