一二五 信 仰
大師引用亞里斯多德的名句訓誨弟子：「在追尋真理的途中，首要之務卽是捨棄自己所熟悉的一切。」他把「真理」二字改為「天主」。
不久，一位弟子稟告大師：「為追尋天主，我已決心放棄一切：財富、朋友、家人、國家，甚至犧牲生命，也在所不惜。除此之外，一個人還能捨棄什麼？」
大師平靜地答道：「他對天主的信念。」
這位弟子悲傷地離去。因他需要信念，他害怕無知甚於死亡。
BELIEF
The Master had quoted Aristotle; “in the quest of truth it would seem better and indeed
necessary to give up what is dearest to us.” And he substituted the word “God” for
“truth.”
Later a disciple said to him, “I am ready, in the quest for God, to give up anything:
wealth, friends, family, country, life itself. What else can a person give up?”
The Master calmly replied, “One’s beliefs about God.”
The disciple went away sad for he clung to his convictions. He feared “ignorance”
more than death.
