Just simply to weak, "struggling" a little with fever, it would be good if somebody else gives him a good answer, to know that the means are not different, not letting him wait to long, saddha is not permanent. Atma gave only some sort cuts here .
Samana Johann, I am interested in continuing to hear you. However I will probably find myself just scanning over lengthy, complex discourses -- not paying the attention your thoughts may properly deserve -- so I ask you please confine to the fewest, plainest words?
I am Christian, but that doesn't mean I have no knowledge of Buddhist/Hindu/Taoist/Sufi/Zorastrian/Jewish/Gnostic/Essene/Steiner, new age -- Kaballah, Upanishads, I Ching, Bhagavad-Gita, Hazrat Inayat Khan, Tarot, wicca --African ancestor religion -- lots of stuff, ok?
I find it all in Proverbs 3: 5-7 in the Bible:
'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord and depart from evil.'
Faith.
Do you have anything to add to this passage? I am asking sincerely, and am interested in your interpretation?
