Q: You destroy beliefs, but what do you give people to replace what you have taken from them?
A: I give people truth and the power to reason. They play on the seashore, and I am a wave that sweeps their toys into the deep - then they weep. But I deliver new playthings at their feet, and new coloured shells.
It is natural for loss to become gain. Reason always remains standing when all things fall down around it. I give as much as I take. The power to digest and assimilate experience, to break-down the idea-tight compartments of the mind, and finally, Buddhahood, is no small gift.
