> Men look for God

> But in life's simplest things
> He stands revealed

> Julia-Namaste Julia. Thank you for visiting our forum! -I follow the path of the Buddha, but struggle horribly with the immaterial part. I too am a skeptic, with dhw. -I'll leave you with one of my favorite lines from the Upashinads:-"As a tethered bird flies this way and that, 
and comes to rest at last on its own perch, 
so the mind, tired of wandering about 
. . . settles down in the Self"-Easwaran, Eknath; Eknath Easwaran (2009-06-01). The Upanishads (Classic of Indian Spirituality) (p. 122). Nilgiri Press. Kindle Edition.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
