Inquiry is fatal to certainty.
This mind is the doubting mind, and in the doubting mind we can never feel the presence of peace. We can feel the presence of peace only in the loving heart.
The mind God is looking for in man is a doubting, questioning mind, not a dogmatic mind; dogmatic reasoning is wrong reasoning. Dogmatic reason ties a huge rock to a man’s foot and stops him forever from advancing.
Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.
Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.
To come back to the secret of inner peace, our questioning and doubting mind is always wanting in peace. Our loving and dedicated heart is always flooded with inner peace.
Faith is tossed about by various doubts, so that the minds of the godly are rarely at peace.
