Narrated by Daniel "Avi" Avinash.

Inspired by Biblical text, Khalil Gibran describes a man's quest to knowing God. He climbs a mountain with the hope of speaking to God and experiencing His presence but fails three times. He does not give up. On his fourth journey, God replies. The poem expresses the importance of determination, persistence, and even a pesterous attitude when desiring to know God.

If we seek God, He will answer... at His perfect time.

THE PROPHET
This poem "God" is the second of 26 prose poetry fables from the book "The Prophet". In this book, poet Khalil Gibran talks about a fictional prophet Al Mustafa who lived in the city of Orphalese for 12 years and is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is then stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses topics about life and the human condition in general.
