Now we must earnestly search out the road

From Alan Jacob's micro blog, a link to a Palm Sunday sermon from Bernard of Clairvaux from Plough magazine.

It is not necessary for you to cross the seas, nor to pierce the clouds, nor to climb mountains to meet your God. It is not a lengthy road that is set before you; you have only to enter into yourself to find him.

This line reminds me of Buddhism/ mediation.  And, "you have enough" in general.

Before this in the sermon, though, there's this other line that interests me:

Now we must earnestly search out the road by which he comes, so that we may be able to go out to meet him as is fitting.

 The idea that we should be actively (and earnestly!) searching the road "by which he comes" reminds me the time I was driving to Countryside and everything that happened felt "divinely created"... as if it was there for a reason (and in my memory the events were things like geese crossing the road and getting stopped by a funeral procession).
