Tung-kuo Tzu asked Chuang-tzu: "What is the Way? Where is it?"
"It is everywhere," replied Chuang-tzu.
Tung-kuo Tzu said, "It will not do unless you are more specific."
"It is in the ant," said Chuang-tzu.

Jesus said, "I am the Way." Which may also be translated, "the path." Another understanding of the word "Torah" is also The Way; we commonly translate "Torah" as "Law", in reference to the "Five Books of Moses".
The meaning may not be precisely the same, but I suspect this commonality points to a common understanding of spirituality. I suggest this story may also answer our question, "What is God" or "Where is God".
Interestingly, among the Dine the word "way" is also used extensively in this context. It describes a ritual or procedure for specific purpose, healing, cleansing and such.
