But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.
