Underlying great doubt there is great satori. If you doubt fully, you will awaken fully.
Hakuin Ekaku
Of course we doubt, right? We doubt the validity of almost everything that happens to us. We doubt the intentions of our neighbour, the purity of the water we drink, what we are being told, the rightness of our choices and if we are really, really open and honest...we doubt the stability of our own minds.
Doubting our minds is the quickest way to satori which is enlightment or a realization of truth. It is doubt that leads us to question and it is questioning that leads us to understanding.
So instead of blindly believing what we have been taught, we should be doubting, questioning and examining this thing called Life.
Hmm! Something to think about.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Socrates
