对我来说，做一名有神论者，或者无神论者，都是荒谬的。如果你懂得何谓真理，何谓神性，那么你既不想做有神论者，也不想做无神论者，因为觉悟不需要信仰。只有那些心未觉悟的人，时时生活在渴望与设想中，依赖信仰或怀疑来支撑自我，一言一行均遵循定法。
如果你用迥然不同的方法来审视信仰，你会发现，真实的东西超越了一切信仰的限制，超越了语言的幻相。但，要发现真理——或曰神性，需要大智慧，这并不是指信仰或怀疑论的那种信誓旦旦，只要清晰地认识到：障碍生于无明，这就是大智慧。所以说，真理是真切存在的，要发现神性，要认识、觉悟真理，必须解除内心的全部障碍，这些心障是世世代代以来人类构建出来的，只为了自我保护，获得安全感。要从这种安全感执迷中获得解脱，仅仅口头宣称解脱是不够的。为了突破这心障壁垒，你需要具备高度的智慧，而不是世智辩聪。对于我来说，这大智慧，就是头脑与心灵完全和谐一如，然后你就会自行发现何谓实相，不需问道于他人。

Beyond the Limitations of Beliefs
To be a theist or an atheist, to me, are both absurd. If you knew what truth is, what God is, you would neither be a theist nor an atheist, because in that awareness belief is unnecessary. It is the man who is not aware, who only hopes and supposes, who looks to belief or to disbelief to support him, and to lead him to act in a particular way.
Now, if you approach it quite differently, you will find out for yourselves, as individuals, something real that is beyond all the limitations of beliefs, beyond the illusion of words. But that—the discovery of truth, or God—demands great intelligence, which is not assertion of belief or disbelief, but the recognition of the hindrances created by lack of intelligence. So to discover God or truth—and I say such a thing does exist, I have realized it—to recognize that, to realize that, the mind must be free of all the hindrances that have been created throughout the ages, based on self-protection and security. You cannot be free of security by merely saying that you are free. To penetrate the walls of these hindrances, you need to have a great deal of intelligence, not mere intellect. Intelligence, to me, is mind and heart in full harmony; and then you will find out for yourself, without asking anyone, what that reality is.
