destroy any argument
And once your arguments are destroyed
Your doubts will arise.
A follower can become a doubter any moment.
Just a small logic is enough to create doubt.
For example, those who were followers of Jesus
Were waiting that he will do some miracle
When he was crucified -- it was obvious
Very obvious to the followers:
If he can raise the dead
If he can cure the blind
Why he cannot do a miracle
When his own life is concerned?
They were there waiting
That some great miracle is going to happen --
It did not happen, all their arguments collapsed.
They became convinced
they were following a charlatan:
Jesus died and ordinary man.
They went home -- happy in a way
That a burden has fallen from their heads
They are free from this man.
No need to waste any more time with this man.
When the body of Jesus
Was brought down from the cross
All those followers were not there.
Three women were there to bring his body down.
This is not just coincidence because
Those three women were not followers --
They were lovers.
It was not a question of being convinced.
It was a question of love! -- love needs no proofs.
In fact they felt more love for this man because
He was so humble, so simple, so ordinary
Such a non-egoist -- he died like an ordinary man.
These are not followers, these are livers.
Hence my meaning of your name is
A lover of Christ.
And then one more thing has to be understood:
A follower of Christ
Cannot be a follower of Buddha -- obviously
Because both the philosophies
Are different, totally different.
A follower of Christ
Cannot be a follower of Lao Tzu -- it is impossible
To make any syntheses out of these two
Unique persons.
But a lover of Christ can be a lover of Buddha
Can be a lover of Zarathustra
Can be a lover of Lao Tzu.
Love is vast enough to contain contradictions
Love is vast enough
