/*BELIEF*/
/*The Master had quoted Aristotle: */
/*"In the quest of truth, */
/*it would seem better and indeed necessary */
/*to give up what is dearest to us." */
/*And he substituted the word "God" for "truth."*/
/*Later a disciple said to him, */
/*"I am ready, in the quest for God, */
/*to give up anything: */
/*wealth, friends, family, country, life itself. */
/*What else can a person give up?"*/
/*The Master calmly replied, */
/*"One's beliefs about God."*/
/*The disciple went away sad, */
/*for he clung to his convictions. */
/*He feared "ignorance" more than death.*/
--Anthony de Mello
