Simplified Meaning:
People often feel like something is missing in their lives, even when they seem to have everything they need. This quote suggests that this feeling comes from not being connected to a higher purpose or God. Imagine someone who has a good job, a nice home, and good friends, yet they still feel unfulfilled. According to this idea, they are restless because their soul is searching for a deeper connection with God. Just like a child feels safe and complete when they are with their parents, people can feel truly at peace when they find this spiritual connection. It means that true contentment comes not from material things, but from a deeper, spiritual relationship.
