“The knowledge of God is the cause of things”
— Thomas Aquinas

Simplified Meaning:
Understanding the world and everything in it comes from knowing God. Imagine a painter who creates a beautiful painting. The painter's knowledge, skills, and ideas are what make the painting possible. Similarly, everything we see and experience in life is like the painting, and God is the painter. Everything that exists is because of God's wisdom and purpose. By understanding God, we can understand why things are the way they are. This thought encourages people to seek a deeper connection with God to truly grasp the reasons behind the existence of the universe and our place in it. For instance, when faced with challenges, trusting that there's a greater purpose can help us find peace and clarity.
