对我来说，无论做一个有神论者或无神论者，都是荒谬的。一旦你明白何谓真理，何谓神性，那么你就既不想做有神论者，也不想做无神论者，因为觉悟无需信仰。只有那些心无觉知、生活在渴望与猜想中的人，才靠信仰或反信仰来支撑自我，所以一言一行均遵循定法。

如果你能成为独立个体，以全然不同的方式来审视信仰，就会发现超越一切信仰束缚、超越语言幻相的真实。但，要发现真理或曰神性，需要大智慧。所谓大智慧，并不是信誓旦旦地宣示信仰论或怀疑论，而是看清因智慧匮乏而衍生的各种障碍。所以，我明白：真理是真实存在的，要发现神性，认识真理，觉悟真实，必须清除内心的全部障碍，这些心障是世世代代以来人类构建出来的，只为了自我保护，获得安全感。要从这种安全感心障中获得解脱，仅仅口头标榜解脱是不够的。为了突破心障壁垒，你需要高度的大智慧，而不是世智辩聪。对于我来说，这大智慧，就是头脑与心灵完全和谐一如，然后你就能自行发现何谓实相，无需问道于他人。

Beyond the Limitations of Beliefs

To be a theist or an atheist, to me, are both absurd. If you knew what truth is, what God is, you would neither be a theist nor an atheist, because in that awareness belief is unnecessary. It is the man who is not aware, who only hopes and supposes, who looks to belief or to disbelief to support him, and to lead him to act in a particular way.

Now, if you approach it quite differently, you will find out for yourselves, as individuals, something real that is beyond all the limitations of beliefs, beyond the illusion of words. But that—the discovery of truth, or God—demands great intelligence, which is not assertion of belief or disbelief, but the recognition of the hindrances created by lack of intelligence. So to discover God or truth—and I say such a thing does exist, I have realized it—to recognize that, to realize that, the mind must be free of all the hindrances that have been created throughout the ages, based on self-protection and security. You cannot be free of security by merely saying that you are free. To penetrate the walls of these hindrances, you need to have a great deal of intelligence, not mere intellect. Intelligence, to me, is mind and heart in full harmony; and then you will find out for yourself, without asking anyone, what that reality is.
