Doubt is a search for trust

“Inside the seed of doubt is the tree of trust, so if you plant the seed of questioning and work on it, you are bound to harvest trust.”

Love.

Atheism is the first step towards theism,

and a must.

If you haven’t been through the fire of atheism

you’ll never know the light of theism.

If you haven’t the true strength to say No

your Yes will always be impotent,

so I am glad you are an atheist –

something that can be said only by a theist.

So I say: Go deeper into atheism.

Superficiality won’t do,

so don’t just think atheism, live it –

and it will ultimately lead you to God.

Atheism isn’t IT.

it is just a doubting.

Doubt is good but it isn’t IT.

Actually, doubt is a search for trust.

So go on, take your journey

for the path to truth starts with this doubt.

Doubt is sadhana

because doubt eventually exposes the incontestable

truth.

Inside the seed of doubt is the tree of trust

so if you plant the seed of questioning

and work on it

you are bound to harvest trust.

And beware all religions!

Only religions obstruct the true path of RELIGION.
