Firstly, the idea of the quest for the monotheist unity with God may be viewed not as much based upon desperation as it is upon the fulfillment to be found in the quest itself. The monotheist soul indeed may be seen as finding meaning not only in the inconclusive quest, but also in the moments of closeness to God that may be construed as the highest unity that may be hoped for in this life.
It has been said above that the monotheist view of life is one of struggle for a few moments of union. Death is then almost anticipated with a kind of passion, sensing the impending union with God. In monism, no such struggle is necessary. This, as has been said above, cultivates a fundamental fear of senseless for the monotheist. Life and struggle provides meaning, which would then culminate in the union with God provided by death. The above may be used as a counter-argument for this. The monotheist, it could be held, does not only struggle, but enjoys life at times, just like everyone else. Nonetheless, surely this struggle for union, born from the pain of separation is not pleasant, in the sense that the monist view of life is pleasant. Surely it makes more sense to not struggle in religion, as there is so much else in life that entails struggle. The struggle for a livelihood, to acquire goods, and to raise children are some examples of the difficulty that life already entails. Why then not view God and religion in a way that is helpful, instead of exacerbating the struggle already present in life?
Nonetheless, it is still not, by its own admission, perfect unity. The monotheistic view of unity with God always fails to come to complete fulfillment, especially during life. In monism, as opposed to duality, separation never enters the picture. In this, there is indeed at least some degree of desperation in monotheism. It remains true that unity in its fundamental sense is never achieved with the monotheistic God.
This remains true after the point of death, although some may argue that being "with" God in the physical sense...

This has particularly been the case since the attacks on 9/11. Nevertheless, like Judaism, it is one of the most popular monotheistic religions in the world. The equivalent of the Jewish God in Islam is Allah, who is also incorporeal and eternal. Communication with God or Allah occurs mutually between God and people. God communicates through revelation and scripture, while human beings communicate with God through worship and prayer.
