p. 257

How Can INot Get Lost Again? Q: Once Ihave glimpsed the truth, how can Imaintain that vision and not get lost again?

A: By having faith, love and devotion for that which the mind cannot grasp. This takes agreat deal of courage, because the mind will try to pollute anything and every¬ thing. Even the most sublime realization, the mind will try to corrupt, taint and destroy. This is not the mind's fault. It can't help it. It doesn't know how to do anything else. Unfortunately, most people unwittingly participate in this process. It is because of this that they get lost again and again. Q: Does the mind ever come to terms with that which it cannot grasp?

A: No, the mind never does, but you can. When you realize that you are completely helpless before the truth then you will automatically discover that the mind is also helpless before the truth. That discovery is Liberation. 2 5 7
