The spirit cannot find stability except in a life oriented towards G-d. When a soul aspires for less than that exalted state, it will be like a ship tossed in the sea. Yearning for something more, and having a thirst for stability with a reality beyond oneself, yet part of oneself, is natural and healthy.
