Always make it a practice to stir your own mind thoroughly to think through what you have easily believed. Your position is not really yours until you make it yours through suffering and study.

But that synthesis between faith and knowledge leads us to a kind of mystical contemplation, something blurring the dimensions between thought and prayer.....
