Quote by C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always easy to penetrate. The real labor is to remember to attend. In fact to come awake. Still more to remain awake.

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that God's presence is ubiquitous and cannot be escaped, even if we choose to ignore it. The world is filled with His existence, yet He often remains disguised and difficult to recognize. The true challenge lies in being mindful and present enough to perceive His presence. It is not merely about waking up to His existence, but also about staying awake and maintaining awareness of His presence in our lives. The quote urges us to actively engage with our spirituality and be attuned to the signs of divinity in our surroundings.
