一二五 信 仰
大师引用亚里斯多德的名句训诲弟子：「在追寻真理的途中，首要之务即是舍弃自己所熟悉的一切。」他把「真理」二字改为「天主」。
不久，一位弟子禀告大师：「为追寻天主，我已决心放弃一切：财富、朋友、家人、国家，甚至牺牲生命，也在所不惜。除此之外，一个人还能舍弃什么？」
大师平静地答道：「他对天主的信念。」
这位弟子悲伤地离去。因他需要信念，他害怕无知甚于死亡。
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.
