“A religious belief is not a statement about Reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. In short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. Some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. Others are engaged in sucking it.

Rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.” PeopleHumansMadeUseRealityEyeBeliefReligiousGoneStudyTakenMysteryMoonBlindFingersStatementsEngagedCluePointingHintsDetachedReligious BeliefBigotsHuman ThoughtPointing Fingers Author:Anthony de Mello
