Visakha Dasi Quotes
I Saw That, Although They Were At The Mercy Of The Sweltering Heat, Or The Pains Of Aging Or Poverty, They Could Tolerate These Because Their Faith Gave Them The Hope Of Being United In Spirit With A Supernatural Presence.
I Still Denied That Presence. My Denial, I Was Realizing, Was My Armor; It Allowed Me To Deflect A Barrage Of Difficult Questions. But It Didn't Answer Those Questions. It Protected Me From Charlatans, Yes, But It Didn't Fill My Emptiness Or Give Me Direction. Doubt Served A Purpose, But It Also Prevented Me From Trusting Anyone Or Anything. Without Trust, How Could I Ever Be Happy?
