everything in the end; but one who trusts is surrendered so finally only nothingness is there, while one who doubts becomes crystallized -- he becomes the whole.
When there is nothing to doubt, doubt will have to be left. It can exist only in opposition to some belief, it cannot exist in the void.

Only a master can know where one is in his spiritual journey.
