First, I'm not going to claim I have all the answers to everything in life. This is, at least for me, if not the meaning of life - at least it is a meaning of life.
All work is empty save when there is love, for work is love made visible.
If God is truly love, then when we seek God we consider experiencing more love. God is within us. Look within, you are the Buddha. The kingdom if heaven is within you. Heaven, earth and human are of one body.
