Doubts
demand from us a real skillfulness in dealing with them, and I notice how few
people have any idea how to pursue doubts or to use them. It seems ironic that
in a civilization that so worships the power of deflation and doubt, hardly
anyone has the courage to deflate the claims of doubt itself - to do as one
Hindu master said: turn the dogs of doubt on doubt itself, to unmask cynicism,
and to uncover what fear, despair, hopelessness, and tired conditioning it
springs from. Then doubt would no longer be an obstacle, but a door to
realization, and whenever doubt appeared in the mind, a seeker would welcome it
as a means of going deeper into the truth.
